Superman Returns: The Videogame (Sony PlayStation 2, 2006)

Superman reurns is a fun and entertaining game, that has also a visual experience as a living comic book. The game play is fun and somewhat challeging. i recommend it for people who are big superman fans, and enjoy just being in a super hero's tights for one day! Graphics and fighting skills are impressive for ps2! Just a super game to play!

Pros
+ A huge world to fly through with a few familiar faces & old enemies to fight.
+ A real sense of being Superman. Fly at dizzying speeds. Lift massive objects. Use unbelievable powers to save or destroy.
+ You can use cheat codes if you want to.

Cons
- Lots of glitches, some frustrating moments running & flying, & some annoyingly hard enemies.
- Missions are repetitive and can interfere with other things around the city you may want to do more.
- No real depth after you get past flying through Metropolis as Superman. Not enough interaction with the city.

Comments
Fans have waited for a great Superman game for awhile. Superman Returns delivers an enjoyable ride as Superman that is not as frustrating as the games that have came before it but still lacks deliveriing the most complete experience. Some of the cutscenes look quite nice but most of the dialogue is cheesier than the movie. Any fan of Superman should love this game though.

Verdict
A must have for any hardcore Superman fan but probably only a rental for the rest of the world. 3.5/5

The game is slow to load and it freezes at the most inopertune times.It takes twenty minutes for it to load and then when you start playing and get superman to finally fly it hangs up and he starts to break up into little dots and then he fixes himself and starts moving a little.But then you can't land!! Not a really good game.I would not recommend it to anyone that likes to play video games.I bought it for my son and he really doesn't like it all because of the problems with it loading and playing it.I have bought alot of games off ebay and so far this is the only one that is bad.

I originally decided to buy this game because of the hype that was built around it. It was supposed to be the most GLORIOUS Superman game ever created. The game play was supposed to put you at the helm of the only never ending power in the Universe after GOD and JESUS CHRIST Himself.

Well, it was more akin to playing Superman on the N64. Gameplay is super cumbersome and monotonous. It is very hard to play and so I finally turned it over to a close friend who is a much more experienced gamer himself. He still has the game three months later and states that he is still trying to beat because it is just to hard.

It is hard to control, the camera angels are terrible, the game play makes you feel week, you cannot possibly destroy enough stuff between pointless boughts with more drones or whatever the heck they are throwing at you, and all of the gameplay is completely and aimlessly spread out.

I hope you don't buy this game. I hope you do not even rent it. If you have a friend who owns it, borrow it from them for the weekend. That is enough to make you hate it anyway.

My son loves Playstation 2. He has ADHD, and we try to get things to keep his attention but not cause him to get hyperactive. He loves the way Superman goes through the city helping people! He loves to GET the BAD GUY!! He wanted to be a policeman, and he says he's practicing. I like this game, because it doesn't have a lot of violence in it! Overall, it's just a good game for a 9 year old. Thanks, Horsesr4me-123
