    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.
  2. Pocket Gamer UK

    Visually disappointing, lacking in challenge and generally not that much fun, Iron Man singularly fails to communicate the excitement found in its big screen counterpart.
  3. GameSpot

    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.
  4. Cheat Code Central

    The majority of missions have you destroying weapons and taking down terrorists. The bonus levels are just rehashes of things from single-player. There's little to hold your attention for very long.

    In case you’re not interested in Tony Stark’s adventures, there are much better games.
  6. 1UP

    A by-the-numbers affair unlikely to rouse most action fans. Maybe you won't toss your controller in a fit of rage (unlike the frustrating PS3/360 games), but with gameplay and presentation this uninteresting, do you even need pick it up to begin with?
  7. GameShark

    In the end, there’s no real reason to play this game. Combat is dull and unchallenging and the flying mechanics are twitchy and unresponsive.

Completed this on formidable, died a few times until I sussed out the best armour configuration for my style of play. Wading into a fortified area is no problem as long as you keep on your toes. Just remember to use chaff often (as in every 5 seconds over a base with AAAs) and 'rapid fire unibeam' the helicopters/jets.… Expand

    this game is fun to begin with but only has 13 missions and I promise you that its so easy you are not gonna lose one life, really. The this game is fun to begin with but only has 13 missions and I promise you that its so easy you are not gonna lose one life, really. The graphics are good for the psp. Gameplay is also nice. But what I hate about this game is the camera angles. I mean its so hard to aim your repulsors or your missiles at the enemy. But overall its a great game. There are a lot of bonuses and unlockable clip arts. You can upgrade your suit with better weapons and armor. And You can also unlock other Ironman Costumes like the stealth costume and the mark 1 , and etc. So if you love Ironman and you have a psp you should buy this game.… Expand
