    Iron Man is strictly about the suit. It's almost like the video game was based entirely around the suit, with a few levels thrown in for good measure.

    The levels are linear, the visuals are ho-hum, the story is lame and the cutscenes are bad. This game doesn't excel at anything.

    Iron Man just can't seem to get the lead out. Now let's end this article with another quote from the song: "Nobody wants him. They just turn their heads."

    One of the poorest movie tie-ins to date, IM: TOV is ugly, tedious, boring and broken. [June 2008, p.60]

    Enough effort was put into the gameplay and graphical design to keep it from crashing and burning, but not enough to inject it with any sort of life or appeal.

    I hesitate to say that Iron Man is dumbed down for the Wii, PlayStation 2, and PSP, since hardware limitations likely necessitated such a distinct iteration, but the resulting experience is a by-the-numbers affair unlikely to rouse most action fans.

    In case you’re not interested in Tony Stark’s adventures, there are much better games.

    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!

    Iron Man for the PS2 is just okay. It's basically a shooter and is quite short. In each mission, you fly or hover around while blastingIron Man for the PS2 is just okay. It's basically a shooter and is quite short. In each mission, you fly or hover around while blasting enemies. Completing side-objectives unlocks bonus comic-book skins. While based on the movie, the game adds villains not seen in the film. The cutscenes are okay, but the voice acting by Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow is quite flat. On the plus side, flying can be fun and the weapons system is decent. The boss fights are underwhelming. Overall, this can be a repetitive action game that's moderately fun. I would rate it with a 5.4 out of 10.… Full Review »
