Okay, hands up here I'm a geek., I'm a massive geek, in fact if you have a moment I am a king sized geek drizzled in hoi-sin sauce and served in pancakes with onion and cucumber (I was hungry when I wrote this review) and as a geek I love comic books
as a comic book fan I fall fair and square into the marvel camp.
Iron man is one of my all time childhood favourites and the Robert Downy Jnr movie reawakened my love for the character. So the game . I want to say that it's an opened ended dream of a game, one that makes you feel like you are tony Stark himself sticking it to the ten rings; I want to say that the game captured the films energy . But I can't
The graphics are nice, and I like the suit model, the designers have been kind to us older geeks and included unlockable suits (hulk buster anyone?) but the game just has no Pizazz, the open plan levels work against you because as fun as flying around the place catching missiles and throwing them around the place like a cricket ball is it's just not enough The difficulty is erratic, by turns going from being diabolically hard to walk in the park easy, the levels are pretty much the same thing again . And again . And again there are a few nice touches like for example being able to customise the suite with upgrades and yes Downy Jnr does do the voice acting for tony stark, but some of the lines sound literally phoned in.
There's a fair few supervillian dustups in the game Backlash, The Controller, Titanium Man, Melter and of course iron monger all make a appearance but try as it might this is just another also ran movie tie in.
It doesn't even have the decency to be outright dreadful, instead it's just the video game equivalent of porridge, lacklustre sound, voice acting, graphics and a cut and paste movie tie in plot. Avoid this one unless it's being given out free, even if especially if you're a fan of Ironman
