You've undoubtedly heard the cliche that movie games are awful. You've undoubtedly experienced it in a moment of weakness and naivete. Well, Iron Man 2 isn't going to break the stereotype. According to reviewer Mike Thomsen, it's "a work of decent ambition and fumbling execution." But that's not all he's got to say. Peruse this nugget of truth and wisdom:
"The combat system is, likewise, well-conceived but joylessly executed. Iron Man’s attack powers are split between his left and right hands. You can assign two different weapon types to each side and change them on the fly by pressing the D-pad. Combat is built around a rough lock-on mechanic. In theory, it works like it would in most games: when locked onto an enemy, a translucent blue circle surrounds them and a green health meter is intertwined. The problem is that it’s impossible to hit a moving target with standard attacks, which renders it fairly useless, since lock-on mechanisms are designed to hit non-stationary enemies."
You know it's bad. But you know you want to discover why. Read here to find out more!

I hardly buy licensed games since they're just as bad as the movies/shows they take from. The thing with Batman AA is it's not tied to a premade story so they were free to make a good game from it.
And it's a good thing I heard positive news about it because normally I'd see Batman on the cover and assume it was a movie I never heard about, then completely ignore it. As long as the gameplay comes first then they can tack on a license and it won't be so bad. If the license comes first then the game suffers and I won't need a copy.

From now on, all super hero games should be made by Rocksteady. They have shown that they are the only one capable of actually bringing the best out of a licensed product.

For the Iron man 3 game, which is going to happen, they should make it a first person shooter.

It is very rare to find a good movie game, it is also very rare to find a good comic book game. Therefore the odds were already stacked agasint Iron Man 2 being remotely playable.

thank god they don't make a game for every movie.

I hate that they constantly advertise games like this and dead to rights:retribrution as these great games at gamestop. I work there and Im forced to listen to ads for crap games the whole time I'm there. The video game industry is bogus,

Since I don't watch movies I can proudly say I've never bought a tie-in game, and therefore haven't been disappointed in one. Nothing based on a movie, book, comic, or TV show.

I have two boys, a five and an eight year old, who can find hours of entertainment using the character creator in Mass Effect 2 and are big Iron Man fans and even THEY found this game joyless.
