5. Superman Returns – Sony PlayStation 2

Originally released for the PS2 with versions for the Xbox, Xbox 360 and Nintendo DS following in succession, Superman Returns was a collaboration between Electronic Arts and Warner Bros. Interactive and based on the film of the same name.

Well I say based, despite claiming to be a game of the film in all promotional material and using voices of the real actors, Superman Returns bares very little resemblance to the movie at all. It has a completely different story, with enemies that didn’t even appear in the movie, and doesn’t remain visually accurate either.

An open world affair with some interesting elements, Superman Returns also loses points for not having a proper ending and was panned by the majority of the gaming press. It’s a shame because Superman Returns does have the basis of a good game in there somewhere.
