12 Worst Superhero Video Games Of All Time
2. Iron Man
Hey, they managed to get Robert Downey Jr. to actually voice Iron Man! That's neat - surely the game will be alright too?
NOPE.
Iron Man is the quintessential movie tie-in game. Rushed out to coincide with the very first film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Iron Man is exactly what you've come to expect from a licensed game - rubbish.
The game is generally experienced like this. You'll go from a really bad cutscene straight into a mission where Iron Man must complete various objectives, constantly dogged at all times by respawning enemies who employ every underhanded tactic in the book to kill you pretty much instantly.
It fails on actually making a gamer feel like Iron Man too, as the enemies are so ridiculously overpowered, you have to almost play the game like a coward. Instead of swooping around dealing out the hurt like Iron Man should, you'll pop out whenever and wherever you can to do minimal amounts of damage, before retreating back down your crate/mountain/other usefully-placed object.
If these weren't in place, the game probably could have been passable. Flying is alright and there's some cool upgrades to have. That in no way redeems the rest of it though. If you play this, you'll only find frustration rather than enjoyment.
