Manufacturer's Description
When villains run rampant, only one man can rescue a world in peril. Will you be able to master your super powers to save Metropolis? As the Man of SteelTM, you'll hone your unworldly super powers such as Flight, X-Ray Vision, Heat Vision, Super Hearing, Super Strength, Super Speed, and Super Breath to fight villains that only SupermanTM can defeat. Explore your super powers to discover new uses and combinations: use Heat Vision to melt a rogue car or as a focused laser-like beam to cut through thick metal; use Super Breath to move heavy objects or freeze villains into solid ice. You can also combine powers and interact with your environment; for instance, freeze water spouting from a broken fire hydrant into a giant icicle with your Super Breath and use your Super Strength to hurl it at an enemy.

Get ready to take flight, as Superman Returns' revolutionary new mechanics allow you to take full command of your aerial manoeuvres. You're not limited to flying over 800 mph (faster than a speeding bulletTM) you can also corral your enemies, perform stunning in-air acrobatics, instigate Super Speed missile-like attacks, and much more.

In Superman Returns: The Videogame, you explore and protect the truly living city of Metropolis one that is not only expansive (with 80 sq miles and over 10,000 buildings), but also changes dynamically with you as you affect gameplay. Citizens will run away in terror from newly-erupting danger and also exit their cars to cheer and snap photos as you fly overhead to save them.

Superman may be invincible, but Metropolis is not. Player choice matters, as Metropolis' destruction will affect your ability to progress. You must face the internal conflict facing Superman at every turn: will you pause your pursuit of super villains to stop a massive tornado sweeping through the city and save its civilians? Every decision made is critical to Metropolis' existence and can affect the collateral damage meter, which ultimately keeps the player in the game.

This is not just another movie-based game. This is the Superman game you've always wanted to play. Utilizing more than 60 years of rich history, Superman Returns: The Videogame is the ultimate Superman experience for players.

X FILES OR SUPERMAN?
I have waited for this game, oh how I have waited. And then late 2006 into comes through my letter box.
Only aweek later and I want to give it back. There was so much promise and potential here which has gone to waste.

Firstly the game looks good, feels good when your flying around. As you fly around the massive city for the first time your under the impression that you can swoop down to metropolis and save people or catch criminals when ever you wish, well the answer to that is NO YOU CAN'T,you'll spend all your time in this game fighting killer robots that just wont die, or having conversations with little leopracorn men who can also fly, it's like superman took some wild drugs! I have no idea what is was all about, honestly I dont.

This game is very very rushed, and could have been great. Once you have gotten bored of flying around at speed then you may as well sell the game because that is the only good thing about it, flying!.

It bears no resemblance to the film, it's bizare, rushed, no superman theme tune, and you cant even mess around thowing cars and stuff because if you damage metropolis then your hurting yourself and the game will end.

If you want to fly around and fight a robot called metelo or somthing! then buy it, but buy it used only NOT NEW! It's only worth £[...] at the most.

Such a shame,

A great fun game
I picked this game up cheap the other day and I have to say im very impressed, the graphics are great and the gameplay and freedom factor of being superman are all put accross very well. Like the excellent Spiderman 2 but for Superman.
