Ever feel like putting on a red cape and saving the earth from certain doom? Well then these games might be for you.
Superman Returns: Fortress of Solitude 2006(Xbox, Xbox 360, PS 2, GBA, Nintendo DS)
This game has the same name as the Superman Returns movie, but a very different story line. It starts off with superman stopping a meteor shower and learning how to use his super abilities. Then he goes of to Krypton where he makes sure that it really is gone. On his way back to earth he has a fight with Mongrul. Back on earth you have to overcome Metallo, Bizarro and eventually Lex Luthor.
In the game you will spend some time flying around Metropolis. If you get into range of one, a mission will start. There are quite a few missions, ranging from rescuing kittens to fighting giant robots. The game also has a bit where you play as Bizarro and wreak some havoc. You will be able to use superman’s heat vision to damage enemies, ice breath to freeze them and his super breath to throw them back. These abilities get powered up by completing objectives. Superman is also able to pick up cars and throw them at the villains. During the game you also learn new fighting combos that come in handy against the bosses.
Just one tip, in the battle against Metallo, in the end he fires a rocket that you have to disable. To do so, just fly in right next to the rocket. Trying to destroy it will make it go off.
A new twist in the game is that superman doesn’t have a health bar. The city has one. If the city takes too much damage then you lose.
This isn’t one of the “all time great games” but it does allow you to immerse yourself in the world of superman. If you love superman you will enjoy the game, if not you won’t.
Superman: The Man of Steel (2010)
There is a new superman movie in the works for 2010. They will probably release a new superman game with the movie. I seriously hope that the movie and the game is better than their previous attempt.
