PALGN: Iron Man DS Review - Turn it into scrap metal

PALGN writes: "With the movie currently doing big business in box offices all around the world, it comes as no surprise that Iron Man has undergone the videogame treatment. While we have previously sat down with the console version of the game (of which you can check out the PALGN review here) and hated everything that it has stood for, PALGN sat down with an open mind to see whether the Nintendo DS version has succeeded in recreating the world of the Marvel superhero in a way to entice gamers to play - something that clearly its console brethren has failed to accomplish.

The Iron Man game on DS briefly taps into the movie lore. We meet the enigmatic Tony Stark, billionaire playboy, charismatic salesman, weapons maker and all-round genius as he comes to terms with himself and his family's weapon making legacy after he is captured by a group of terrorists and forced to build them weapons of mass destruction. Rather than building them a series of missiles that could wipe out the planet, Stark decides to build himself a suit of iron in order to escape their clutches - which itself becomes the prototype for the sleek red/gold suit that he later builds to become Iron Man."
