Superman Returns: The Videogame

Superman Returns: The Videogame - Xbox 360

Superman Returns, I guess

Superman Returns is a sub-par video game at best. The graphics are so so. I would have liked a lot more realism to the look of the game. It is one the 360 now, there is no need for this cartooney look. The city itself look great. Do not get me wrong about that. They did a great job on metropolis, but when the character you are playing as or the characters you are fighting look like Gamecube graphics, there is a problem. Also why do I fight the same characters over and over again? The only difference is what powers work on which characters. The sound effects in the game are good. The punch sound effects hit their mark and the street sounds are awesome. Even when you fly it sounds like it. The music is the same thing over and over and over again. Where is the John Williams score. I want to here the Superman music, where is that at? The story is sub-par. They crammed a bunch of cool Superman story lines into this game. None of them actually pull together all that well. I bounce around so much where am I going. The achievements on this game are impossible to hit also. I did it, but only after cheating. I completed the whole game and did everything I had to and only flew a total of 1000 miles and one of the achievements is fly 20,000 miles. It took me 15 hours to complete the whole game and I only flew 1000 miles, how in the heck do I fly 20,000 miles? Good luck trying to find all the kittens also. Even with the guide book it took me forever to find all the kittens. They make no sound to you get right on top of them. You are Superman for gods sake with superhearing and you can not hear a cat meow until you are landing on top of it. That is not even the worst part of the game. The controls absolutely stink. Can I hit the guy I am focussed on please? I can not throw the object at him and I can not hit him. Let me also run and fly into every building at superspeed. Since when does a building stop Superman? Shouldn't he fly right through the building? The mini games are fun but hard. How many times do I have to race that little freaking elf before I beat him. It is by sure luck alone that you will pull this feat off. All that being said this is not a bad game if you go in with low expectations. If you have time and patience it is an easy 1000 achievement points at least.
