Sega Nerds Review: Iron Man 2

Well it’s now 2010, Iron Man 2 is rocking the film world, but can SEGA’s new attempt at Iron Man 2: The Video Game (its full title) also rock the gaming world?

We know these games are never great, but there is no need to just piss on it with a 1. I believe no game deserves a 1, or a perfect score for that matter. I have had this game on demo at my store for over a week and it is an average game that does what it is supposed to do, playing and giving it a score of 1 is lazy and boring. The review is well written and I enjoyed it, but the final score is a little harsh imho.

Abriael5108d ago

While it may not deserve an 1 (but I wouldn't go over a 2), it's time for Sega to stop wasting marketing and licensing money on this crap (or on crap like AvP), and to start using it in some of the great franchises they own but that go unnoticed because they don't get an half decent promotion when released in the west, like the Yakuza one for instance.

Montrealien5108d ago

but that`s what some companies need to do sometimes to actually make money, not everyone can just churn out tried and tested franchises and Sega was at a point during the last few years where they had to license andwhore some stuff out, its sad but sometimes you got to do what you got to do. Sega went the route of listening to the fans online and it brought them nothing, a great example of that is Yakuza, its a common online reaction to say its a great game, yet no one buys it, it is jusyt not appealing to the average gamer. They also went to route of making below average products, ei Golden Axe and AVP.

So yeah, Sega has been going down hill the last few years, they made many bad calls, but it is not because they did not try. And yes, I dont think a game like Iron man should get an above average score, but rock bottom like a 1/5 is a little extreme imho.

almehdaaol5108d ago

Agreed, I feel kind of bad for SEGA studios SF. I mean yes, they did make Iron Man the Video Game (kind of hard look past that) but Im sure the time constraints and licencing pressure from Marvel and the high-ups was way more detrimental to the game than just bad design

1/5...LMAO
Pros:
The studio that made the game has been shut down.
The game ends after 3 hours.You don’t haveto buy it.
The box can be fashioned into some kind of futuristic hat.
I just finished watching IronM2, and I also wasn't impressed. I had to go back and watch The dark knight to remind me that there are good comic movies.

john master lee5108d ago

Wait this guy didn't like the movie either? Man, he sure seems cranky.

AEtherbane5107d ago

I laughed so hard at those!

haha what a joke you call that running...more like crawling

riibhu2109d ago

A year ago persona 5 crawled too you know. Now it runs at almost 20 to 60 fps just like ps3 version but with the added option of 4k as well as 60 fps in palaces.

TheUndertaker852109d ago (Edited 2109d ago )

Why waste time with Resistance 2 & 3 when Sony shut down the online portions to both in 2014?

Not to mention 3 required an online pass.

riibhu2109d ago

They're not wasting time with resistance 2 or 3 specifically. Emulators don't target specific games. They offer general improvement across the whole library. Some games break other times they might improve performance. Some games may not even work due to certain limitation just like you mentioned.

5 worst superhero games

MyGaming: "After years and years of heartache and disappointment with underwhelming superhero video games, we’re finally getting some quality titles featuring our favourite spandex-clad heroes.

That said, it’s time to look back at the worst of the worst to see how far we’ve come. The painful, painful memories."

The ten worst superhero games of all time

Digitally Downloaded writes: "There was a time when superheroes and comic book games were the stuff of legend for how amazingly, spectacularly, incredibly bad they were. I remember buying many a game with my favorite heroes plastered on the front only to be met with the bitter disappointment of how awfully terrible they all were."

i know everyone is going to disagree, but batman arkham city. asylum was astounding though imo

xXBlondieVanHarlowXx4028d ago

I'm not everyone but i disagree. Although i agree that Asylum was better. :D

I'll probably get tossed out of a moving train for saying this but i liked Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the imperfects. I also liked Superman 64 lol. I was 6 when i played it and i loved anything Superman so i was just happy to get the chance to play as him >_< I remember saying "One day they'll make an awesome Superman game",,,, still waiting.

SuicidalTendencies4028d ago

They will never make a good Superman game because the guy is practically invincible. It's kinda like using an infinite health code in another game. It's fun for a while but then you become bored. Superman games are pretty much like that but you can never turn off the code. They could dumb down his powers but then it wouldn't feel like Superman.

"LJN" -- the three worst letters known to man.

Donnieboi4028d ago (Edited 4028d ago )

SuperMan 64. I got it cheap at a local video store when I was 13 where I used to live. It was only 25 cents. I got it only because of how bad I heard it was. YES, it really IS that bad.

Also: Anyone remember that terrible Spawn: The Eternal game for PS1? Wow I remember giving my big sister all of my allowance so she could go buy it for me (since I was under-aged), and then when I played it I damned near ripped my hair out. Trash game.

Bimkoblerutso4028d ago (Edited 4028d ago )

Once you understand that the "fog" is actually kryptonite fog, then you start to realize that it is actually one of the greatest games ever created.

TheFirstClassic4028d ago

Lol that was just a dumb excuse used to justify the horrible draw distance. Awful game, and im ashamed to say me and my roommate beat the whole game. Couldn't have done it alone tho.

SonyStyled4028d ago (Edited 4028d ago )

I can tell this isnt an American article, cuz if it was it would include the xbox Burger King games

SuicidalTendencies4028d ago

Burger King guy isn't a superhero. What the hell are you talking about?

SonyStyled4028d ago

The King and Ronald are pretty much super heroes here in America. We love our burgers

ApolloTheBoss4028d ago

As a kid I actually thought Superman 64 was good. Man what was I smoking back then?

brich2334028d ago

I would like to know, i couldnt get past 10 second with that game.

TheFirstClassic4028d ago

I was actually fairly critical of games when i was younger. First game i ever played and beat was mario 64, so the bar was set pretty high.
