So in spite of all the horrible reviews that I've read for this game, I picked it up on a competitors site for a low price. I'm 24 years old and the hardcore gamer in me is struggling with the Superman fan that I am. Let me tell you why.

From a gamers perspective this game is poorly executed. The controls have a high learning curve and during combat they can be slightly unresponsive when executing certain moves. Also combat can be repetitive. Theire is only a handful of enemy types and tasks in this game and you will find yourself doing the same thing quite often. Destroy all enemy's, rescue a few civilians in the process, end mission. Put out 5 alarm blaze, end mission. Fight enemy's while putting out 5 alarm blaze, end mission. That's really where the game falls flat. It's repetitive.

However the good part about the game is that you really do feel like Superman. Flying for place to place is a blast and easy to learn. Whoever said that you can't free roam is completely wrong. If you fly all the way up to the "Skies of Metropolis" you get a full overhead view of the city. From here super-hearing icons appear that tell you where you can start a new mission. Simply come back down to earth and stay away from these icon's and you can free roam. Once you start a mission, there is a sense of urgency that you are supposed to feel when playing Superman. This is executed fairly well by utilizing a lifebar for metropolis instead of one for the man of steel. If metropolis takes too much damage it's game over.

In closing from a gamer's perspective, this game is crap. However if you're a die hard superman fan or even a younger gamer, give it a try. It may be a rental at best, but you may be like me and decide you want to keep it.

Come on....

I didn't like the new movie compared to the old ones and I didn't like this game. I mean imagine this, the save menu has the fortress of solitude to choose from but you never get to go there at any point of the game. If you have seen the movie the climatic scene takes place in the fortress of solitude. The game has no option to go there or fight there. I play the whole boring game waiting for this battle against Lex Luthor and his goons in the fortress just to get out of the city of Metropolis that never materailizes. They do the whole scene via cut scene. Ridicuolous! They could have at least shown him falling back to earth or something.

I would talk about the mindless game play and camera angles but I think those shortcomings were well addressed in other reviews. Don't buy this game!

Not so good

This game is really fun and cool too you can fly all around the city and roam around finding cool little things. But all the while you have to be Saving metropalis because they are under non stop attack and that kinda is overdone, also it really is just the movie in a game, it is the same plot as the movie except with less acting, it was a pretty fun game and pretty hard too cool super powers, one other thing is when i picked up the globe on daily planet i bowled it down a hill and tried to make it far but then lost it forever and my fun was over i couldnt find it again and it didnt reset on the building, maybe dropping it from the sky destroyed it, sux and that was the worst thing about the game.

I only want to say that it's a shame that EA have the most incredible licenses like this for Superman or the FIFA license and the games that they made most of the time are very boring, with FIFA Konami has teach a lesson about how to make a real soccer game and in the case of Superman I really hope that the next game will be development by another company. I'm a big Superman fan, but this game is not what I expected for so long. I only have one last question, why they took so long to realese the game? It looks that they loss their time, I don't understand how they took so long and this is the result of all that work.

Hard but fun

I'm a huge Superman fan so I was anxious to play this game, and pretend to be like Superman. What a huge mistake. And I'm sad to say that this game sucks hard time. Superman never had any real good video games in its history. And this is no exception. It's boring. All Superman do is fight silly robots. Why does he always have to fight robots in his games? The same problem with Superman: Shadow of Apokolips. I didn't finished it because it is so lame.If you still would like to go through all this madness rent it first.And do yourself a favor, buy a real superhero game.
