Iron Man (2008)

Ti's Alright

User Rating: 7 | Iron Man DS

By SaudiFury | Review Date: June 4, 2008

it is a plain game. nothing really special. It is however not a terrible game, but neither is it anything to write home about. If your an Iron Man fan (like myself) you'll still get a kick out if it. the game took me just short of 3 hours to complete - once you get a handle of the controls and figure out how to upgrade the armor.

I'd recommend buying the game at $20 bucks or less. considering the fact the average movie is about 90 minutes for $20 bucks. the game is worth that. the game is a bit like those old school airplane shooter games you'd see at the arcade. the game also has a bit of replay value, play at a tougher level or top your old scores. overall could of been quite a bit better story-wise, but it is not an abomination either.


- HINT - max out the repulsers and shields and the game suddenly becomes a cakewalk.
