Iron Man

I thought we had a thread on this but i looked and didn't find any thing.

The demo is out now, so give it a try if you are into Iron Man

Storm22 · 04-18-2008, 12:37 PM

How are the flight controls not smooth? Maybe it just takes some getting used to.

Don't hotlink, save the pics and host them yourself

Well, theyre not horrible, i think it has more to do with the camera than anything else.

Why? I see it done all the time.

What's wrong with the camera? Too slow, too fast, too shakey?

Yea, it sometime is a little too quick, and you'll lose site of where you are headed. Its not bad in straight flight, but when you start maneuvering around a helicopter or AA gun, it can be a bit of a problem. Overall tho, i think the game is pretty fun and ill prob end up getting it(mainly because im a big Iron Man fan)

gtkilla · 04-18-2008, 01:10 PM

Ugh...the demo's only available to Gold members.

Meh..

amazingfantasy15 · 04-18-2008, 01:39 PM

Eh, too many comic book movie games have sucked for me to spend $60 on Iron Man, especially with GTA4, Mario Kart and Ninja Gaiden coming out this summer.

Yea, I wouldn't put this game over the ones you mentioned, except for Mario Kart but thats just because I hate Mario

Isildur´s Heir · 04-18-2008, 02:35 PM

Just played it and the controls suck.

Upset Spideyfan · 04-18-2008, 04:49 PM

Just finished the demo. Ouch. That hurt.

I didnt find it to be that bad, i mean it was about what id expect from a movie based game.

pugs · 04-19-2008, 07:09 AM

yeah the controls were a bit off, i dunno perhaps you'd get used to them.

StrainedEyes · 04-19-2008, 09:35 AM

The flying is definitely poorly controllable. They flipped the up and down and it's confusing.

It's also repetitive that you only really have his hand weapon and his big laser beam. He has a third one but it's basically useless. So all I end up doing most of the time is just firing his hand thing.

His melee attacks are never useful, Why would you want to get so close? They are also animated like ****.

The graphics are nice, but the gameplay is boring and poorly controlled.

Hah, yea i thought that too, until i went into Options, and changed the controls for flight to 'Invert', helped ALOT.

Yea, its not a horrible game(from what i can tell), its just another mediocre movie-based game. This game will prob get a mid 6 to low 7 Metacritic score like just about every other movie based game. The new Hulk game will be NO different as well as the Dark Knight game which we all know is prob coming. If i wasnt a big Iron Man fan, id probably not think twice about getting this game, but knowing me, itll be hard to pass up an Iron Man game.

Rental for me

Havok83 · 04-19-2008, 12:27 PM

I didnt realize that the 360 had a demo. I wasnt so sure on this game bc it is a flight based on and I havent found many games which included flying to be particularly good.

Do you have to do that every time you start the game or does it save and remember the inverted controls next time you play?

Yea and this isnt much better, from my experiences with it, i wouldn't recommend it to ANYONE other than hardcore Iron Man fans.

Ah I think that's a bit extreme imo. I'd say the game will have more mass appeal than just hardcore Iron Man fans.

I dont, at least not for 60 bux. Ill prob buy it b/c i love Iron Man and dont spend money on anything but gas and videogames. However with GTA coming out, it might be a few weeks before i actually purchase this game.

Havok83 · 04-24-2008, 08:14 PM

I see this game getting a bunch of 6s when its released. Just played the demo on the PS3 and wasnt impressed. The combat was bad and bad controls ruin a game for me. The flight surprisingly wasnt so bad once you invert the controls, but the gameplay needs some work
