    If you can get past Iron Man’s head-scratching learning curve, what are you left with? A game that’s far from perfect, but still better than a lot of movie and comic book tie-ins that have come before ( *wink* Catwoman).

    Iron Man for the PC is another casualty in the sad and lengthy history of failed movie-game tie-ins.

    Even fans of the comic won’t have fun with this piece. At the beginning, the permanent explosions are quite entertaining, but soon they get as boring as the monotony of a firing machine gun. No, thanks!

    Terrible visuals, straightforward/easy gameplay, and a plethora of other problems make Iron Man fail at being anything worth trying.

    A terrible action game in its own-right but made even worse because it was based on an awesome action film. Roll your eyes over this one folks.

    A PS2 port, when there's an Xbox 360 version? This is a dreadful example of shameless corner cutting and an awful game. [Aug 2008, p.107]

    He can fly! And that'd be about it - Iron Man can't jump, climb the ladder or pick any Goddamned thing. When the novelty of flying wears off, all that remains is a very disappointing shooter lacking any challenge. Oh, and I saw much prettier games on PlayStation 2. [July 2008]

    Don't shell out for ol' shellhead. The action-figure is more fun. [Aug 2008, p.79]

    Before playing tis game bear in mind one thing: It's a movie-based game made by Sega, that is all you need to know.
