13 Video Games That Prove Superman Is Cursed
10. Superman: Shadow Of Apokolips – Sony PlayStation 2
In 2002, Atari, then under the Infogrames umbrella, had another stab at making a Superman game with the strangely named Shadow of Apokolips, a title based on the animated series. It was also ported to the Nintendo Game Cube a year later.
The cell shaded visuals certainly lend really well to the game, doing a great job of replicating the cartoon. The mission structure and open world nature of the game is also well-implemented and lends itself well to a Superman game. It’s also great to see voiceovers from the original actors too, adding even more authenticity.
What lets Shadow of Apokolips down is that the terrible controls and awful collision detection, damaging what could have been an excellent game for the son of Krypton.
