| Review | Rating | Last Updated | Better For Fans of Superman
Man of Steel is a pretty fun game, it isn't easy. Besides the flying being hard to master, the gameplay itself can be difficult and notjust because robots are always shooting at you. It does have a nice variety of tasks to do in some of the missions. In one mission alone you have to; save a building from robots, put out a fire, rescue a man from a building, chase a car, defuse a bomb and that is just the start.
The graphics are definitely dated now, especially the FMV cut scenes. However, the in-game play doesn't look half bad. Overall, the game is fun, but once again not easy. Overall, I guess I'd recommend it, but mainly to Superman fans. Other people would just find it not worth the time and effort to play the game. | 3 | Today | Cool Game
This game was bought as a present for my younger brother. He really enjoyed the game and is a big Superman fan. He had fun playing the game. | 3 | Today | boring
it was just boring they need to stop making superman games were you prevent disasters and make a fun one i hate stoping robots from destoying things it should be crimeanil,s you fight not robots if you like destoying robots buy it other wise get a spider man game there worth the money | 3 | Today | Gamers will enjoy Superman
As an adult who enjoys video games, mostly war games, I really enjoyed this Superman game. I think alot of people are to tough on their reviews of games and this one as well.
I played the first two levels and found out when I truned off the game, that I had enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to the entire game.
I think it's to easy to be critical of a game that got a so-so review to begien with. But concerning this game i had fun flying around and using all of Superman's powers. For people who enjoy tough games and for those who enjoy a fun video game, I think will enjoy Superman. | 4 | Today | It just got too boring and repetetive...
Superman The Man of Steel seemed like a super game at first. It controls well, has decent graphics, and has all of Superman's powers. However, I didnt even finish this game, since it got so boring and repetitive. It had great potential, but every misson feels the same, and they all are. They are all basically "go to point a and destroy those robots". And after you destroy those robots in point A, it makes you go to point B,and over again. You can fight villans though. If you are a hardcore fan of Superman comics and stuff, you may enjoy this. But I can say that I didnt. It could have been so good too. Its the most authentic Superman game i've ever played, and probably the best one ever. Thats not saying very much though, considering Superman's dark videogame history... | 2 | Today | great potential, but horrible controls
the controls are devastating to this game. Ofcourse if you play it long enough, you will somewhat get the hang of it, but that's ridiculous. if you're flying, there is one way to go up and down, but if you're standing still, its another way and one way is inverted while the other isn't. Its extremely frustrating. I am a big superman fan, but this is too much. the graphics are cool, kind of comic book style and the powers are nice, but the contols just kill this game. | 1 | Today | Legendary
I am a big fan of Superman so I had to have it even though I didn't own an Xbox. I had heard that the controls where hard and that is true, but it is easy to handle after awhile and there are other settings. Now the nitty gritty....The extras are cool. You can unlock different costumes. The super powers never run out and that is a plus. WARNING this game is challenging. I would imagine that it is just like what the Man of Steel's day would be like if he was real. The game has mission objectives like protecting building, rescueing people, fixing stuff; all the while Braniac 13's lackys are stealing technology form the city to rebuild his body. The objectives usauly have a 3- 5 min time limit that if not accomplished will result in a game over. AND IT IS SUPER HARD!!!!! The only way to replenish life is to complete the objectives on time. There are no extra lives but ulimited continues. It even includes a free roam mode where you can fly through the levels. This is what I think major fans will love. The game developers even placed in the street signs. Major attractions such as the Superman memorial in Centenial Park is in the game. I have only had this game for a couple of days and it is fun. Ijust wish it had multiplayer and more villians. But hey thats me. | 4 | Today | Superman The Man Of Steel
This is a really fun game.As superman you fight robots,Metallia, Brainiac 13 and other enemies but it's mostely robots.You also have to meet timelimits and put out fires,rescue civilins, lift up towers and put them back were there suppose to be and chase bank robbers and pick up there car and take it to the police station.Superman has several controls.He can run or walk on the ground,hover in the sky and fly at high speeds. As Superman you also have heat vision,freeze breath and use punches to take out your enemies.The flying and fighting takes some getting use to but once you learn these steps you can go places.The city scapes are very beautiful.There is also levels were you fly in space above earth's orbit and try to save sattelites.You also fly to another planet warworld and fight creatures mostley robots on that planet.Your main objective is to destroy Brainiac 13 which is on the last level. Supermans voice in this kind of sounds like Jimmy Stuarts and he looks a little like him.This is one of the few games that allows you to here either the music that comes with the game or your own music soundtrack.Though the game music is fine I chose to play the Superman Theme from the Superman Movie. I have put the superman theme from Mantovani on my xbox hard drive and it sounds just like John Williams version.You can't tell them apart.Also you unlock bonus materials when you get to different levels but you can unlock everthing with cheats which are available at supermangame.com.There's two bonuses that must be mentioned.When you unlock free mode you can fly on any of the screens Metroplis,earth orbit etc without enemies or time constraints.You just fly for the fun of it.The flying in this game is pretty cool once you learn how.The other bonus is the many costumes that you can pick for superman to fly in.It even has the black one that he used later in the comics.Also I forgot to mention Superman must use telescopic vision(black button)and xray vision(white button)to accomplish some missions.Xray vision helps Superman find bombs in builings in cars.There is two negatives in this game that should be mentioned though.Sometimes the controls for some reason become difficult to use and you sometimes bump into buildings and when you target an enemie you sometimes fly by him and sometimes the control can make putting out fires difficult.The Other negative is you don't get no continues or no health energizers.If your killed or you fail your mission you go back to the beginning of the level you started and you don't get your health restored until you finish the mission.Maybe this will be fixed in the next superman game.I highly recommend this game as well as the companion book superman the man of steel strategy guide. | 5 | Today | Best Super Hero Game Yet !!
It's a real shame if you listen to the bad reviews of this game. I almost passed this one over because XBOX MAGAZINE featured a 10 page rave review of it in one issue and two issues later, gave it a terrible rating after playing it because whoever rated the game, didn't have the patience to learn how to play it! The game has a heck of alot to offer, and it plays EXCELLENT! Yes, it is difficult, because you first have to take the time to learn how to control Superman (It took me about 40 Minutes to really get the hang if it, Now I'm kickin' butt). It's a game of skill, decision making and High Entertainment. This game is for the fans of Superman, and those with an open mind to be challenged. If you want to run around and shoot and destroy everything, go play Halo or some other mindless game. This ones for the REAL SUPERHEROES!! Another good game that requires a little skill is Baldurs Gate: Dark Alliance. These two titles are well worth the price of an XBOX! For [the price], you can't go wrong with SUPERMAN! | 4 | Today | Worst game ever!
Plays like superman needs to goto an AA meeting! Hard to control and try putting the 3 towers on the 3 roofs! Try Wolenstein or HALO! | 1 | Today |
