TeamXbox: Iron Man Demo Impressions

18
Every now and then, a movie game comes along that, at the very least, shows some promise. Not surprisingly, most of the potentially decent movie games are based off of comic book IPs. Even less surprising is that the better ones are pulled from Marvel's cache of amazing superheroes. Sega's and Secret Level's Iron Man already looks like a movie game with some legs-big metal-y ones.

The demo was surprisingly good, controls did take some getting used too but the demo was alot more fun the second time. Game is not going to sell though coming out around the same time as GTA IV.

My love for Iron man will allow me to enjoy this game like any blind fangirl obsessed with Iron Man comics should.

3 - Remember Zone of the Enders
I wonder if this game is a rehash of the play mechanics of Zone of the Enders.

Zone of Enders reminded me of Virtua On. This game reminds me of it also.

I thought it was fun, but may get a bit repeatitive.

4 - fix the damn flying
Game demo makes the game look like a 6.5. Hope the demo is not really what the gameplay is like.

silver the flying is fine, just go into the options an change the flying inverted option, thats what I did an the flying is great now!! the hovering is pressure sensitive, I guess they did that so you wont get lazy on the controls. but this is definitely one of the best movie to game tie ins there is. I dont think the game is GREAT but definitly not bad!!

Flying in the game is fine. It took me one play through to realize the stick is just very sensitive. As soon as you learn to touch it less the better you will fly.

I didn't care for the 9 minute limit, but I had no issue flying up and grabbing helos and even taking out the Osprey in flight. My favorite was jamming on the throttle and slammming into gun towers.

Also it will be interesting to see how the controls handle on other platforms.

4.3 - Sounds kinda like a familliar reaction to a certain game's flight mechanic
With the way you guys are talking about it, it sounds similar to the issues some were having with Lair's flight mechanics which you just needed some practice but was made to seem more difficult cause it was Motion sensing instead of analog sticks,

I'm thinking flyin with the 6a6 will be an OPTION in the PS3 version and that I like cause the 6a6 has opened up a very interesting way for me to play flight based games or gameplay. Sounds like it's an ok game.

5 - to be honest
it's not one of the worst movie games.

it's sorta decent. clunky and awkward, but worth a look over. certainly better than the average movie game tripe.

however, i don't think, from the demo, it's worth $50+. i would get it in a bargain bin....or rent it.

8 - DEMO IS DEFINITELY TOO SHORT...
...and I'm not sure about it at $59.99, but I enjoyed the Demo. It is definitely worth checking out... It will be interesting to see all of the different Iron Man armor suits in the final game....

Concerning games based off movies in general, I think I have given up any and all hope that said game can be anything but horrible. I'm sure that given enough time and creative license a "movie-game" can be just as good as a traditional, but past experiences has taught me to stay away from such title like a plague.

Then again, movies based off games are just as horrible so at least it's a two way street! Well except Mario Brothers, I know it's almost universally hated, but damned if I didn't love that little Ba-Boo as it stopped traffic.

Two exceptions, Golden Eye and Spiderman 2, except Golden Eye came out 2-3 years after the movie.

Not played the demo but as a fan of Marvel characters I will buy the game regardless.

Nothing says 'I love you' more than a repulsor blast to the face.

Did you buy all the Xmen movie games too, those were crap (I'm not talking about Ultimate Alliance or Legends, they are not movie related).

Demo was meh, the only really good aspect of the game is that it ran at 60fps. Controls were terrible (why are flight controls not defaulted at invert Y axis, like real flight controls), Graphics are ok they are NOT open world, game play was terrible, and the aiming system is completely broken. I was looking forward to this game but not anymore.
