Customer Reviews

Don't Be Mislead.
I only bought this game because of an interview I saw with the designers. One guy said that it "easily" had 8-9 hours of playing storyline, but you can easily finish it all in 2, which breaks down to $15/hr, and that's a ripoff. The guy deliberately lied. He also said that there was all sorts of free world roam, and that's a lie as well, too. You ONLY get battle areas, which can be large and mazelike, but you're contained to that main area. And in many levels, you can't even leave the current battle scene, or you get a "talking to." Stupid.
Plus, the upgrades are very limited, despite what the trailer shows, another disappointment. The function changer was also annoying. It'd give me Unibeam when I wanted Repulsors, and it's slow to change.
All in all, very average.

Ambivalence
As much fun as it is to fly around as Iron Man, this game falls short in some areas. Not that many, though. The ads led me to believe that the Iron Man suit could be customized, but the selection isn't as wide as I'd believed. The three movie versions plus two old comic suits. That might be good enough for someone who only saw the movie, but for anyone acquainted with the comics, you tend to expect so much more. To be fair, the weapons can be customized a bit, but there's no stealth mode. The stealth mode was prominent in the ad. I can only assume that it's something they trimmed for the PS2 release, and that makes me upset. They shouldn't be trimming good things just because it's an older system! The PS2 could have handled it!

Still, it was pretty fun. The levels themselves were open-ended, which is good when you like to explore your surroundings. And I never get tired of those repulsor rays. I say rent it first, then buy it if you want.

This is the best game I have played in a long time. In fact its my new favorite. A must have.
