Superman Returns: The Videogame

"While the open world is supposed to let you do whatever you like, there just isn’t anything to do in Metropolis. Punching out bad guys becomes about as fun as taking out the garbage, and the “epic” battle between Superman and the forces of evil is as simple and dull as a day of chores. It could be argued that this game should be recommended to hardcore Superman fans, but it’s clear to me that those are the ones that will least enjoy this lackluster effort. EA was on to something in Superman Returns, but barely tapped the surface."

"It's a bird! It's a plane! It's....Superman Returns the video game on Xbox 360! The game of the same name as the recently released movie will be on store shelves this holiday season (November 22 to be precise). EA Tiburon has put tireless man hours into a project that actually predates the film."

"Superman Returns for the Xbox 360 is a vast improvement on the current-generation version of the game. I was excited about the release of this game, and despite being disappointed with the current-gen, the Xbox 360 version comes close to living up to what I expected."

"After the thrill of flying around Metropolis wears off, Superman Returns is nothing more than a below-average, repetitive movie tie-in that doesn't even do the movie tie-in part well."

"If you are a huge fan of Superman, then by all means pick this one up ASAP. Those looking for a comic book game in the third-person style will want to check out either of the Spider-Man games first, or The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction. These are better games overall than Superman Returns: The Videogame, and deserve a look before taking flight with the Man of Steel."
