Customer Reviews

I wish he hadn't
I've always been a fan (not a die-hard one) of the Superman character because of his powers and 'that' music. I remember going to see Superman Returns with high hopes after hearing that it was much better (which the film is) than that Superman film we never talk about. I was hoping it would be better than Superman 3 (which is good though) and on par with the first two. It wasn't.

However after hearing about this game being a Spiderman 2 style free roaming ability, I started getting excited, especially after hearing you could fly nearly into space without a loading screen!

On the day of release I took it home after buying it at my local GAME. For the first few hours of play I was hooked. However I found it soon became very repetitive and, once the story mode is over (which doesn't even stick close to the film, which some may say is a good thing but it's still not brilliant) it soon gets VERY BORING. It doesn't even have 'that' music. It's no where near as bad as Superman N64 but it's also no where near as good as the last three Spiderman games (Spiderman 2, Ultimate Spiderman and Spiderman 3 Xbox 360).

Take my advice. See it on the shelf? Get one of those Spidey games instead, they are FAR BETTER.

Dire!
Avoid this game at all costs.I am a huge Superman fan in terms of films, and graphic novels and this does nothing but make a mockery of the hero.
The graphics are utterly appalling for a game at the end of the Ps2's life.They should be brilliant like Metal Gear, of Final Fantasy, but they aren't.The free roaming city is a joke, especially as it is all so bland.At least in GTA the place is crawling with people going about their lives, and the architecture varies.
The plot doesn't even follow the Superman Returns film!You have endless, tedious missions which just don't inspire.
The controls are awkward at best; and downright obstructive at worst.The targetting system is really poor and to switch targets is such an exercise in testing your patience!
The voice-overs and soundtrack are poor.The voices are uninspiring and where is the main theme of Superman scored by John Williams?!Nowhere!This is just a criminal waste of an opprtunity that you sit in front of the screen in a kind of shock.
I haven't played this game all the way through and i don't think i will.It doesn't grip or inspire me.And i LOVE Superman!That is really worrying.
I don't have anything good to say about this game ,other than avoid it all costs.If you are a Superman fan and want a game where he is involved then i would recommend Justice League Heroes.That game captures the feel of the DC universe much better than this, is more fun and has had more thought and love poured into it than this shameless cash in.
When will Superman get a great game of his own?Spiderman has a few, and Batman Begins is not bad........
Come on, get someone to develop a Superman game who really gets the 'feel' of the character!!!!

They should off stuck with the great movie!!!
This game is absoulutly awful. There is nothing to do for ages. I was just flying around and at the end of it, I got sick to DEATH of it. The graphics are rubbish and it is just...well... RUBBISH!!!!
I took it back and got a refund as I was sooo bored and dissapointed about this game.
Don't buy!!!
