Does Iron Man Live Up To The Hype?
The Iron Man video game for PSP was just as highly anticipated as the motion picture release.
The game starts off in a cave where Tony Stark is being held captive by an army of ruthless soldiers. Looking to right the wrongs he helped create, Tony works on a prototype which will inevitably becomes his iconic red and gold armor. After escaping, the plot of the game sort of strays away from the movie and follows themes that sees Iron Man battling a host of foes from the popular comic book series.
The game centers around various seek-and-destroy challenges, protecting civilians and armored vehicles and blasting your way through the enemy. Unfortunately, mass destruction and explosion is all this game has to offer. The graphics of Iron Man are lacking tremendously, especially when multiple enemies bombard the screen. Most of the detail seems to be placed on the superhero’s various suits, although even that falls short of impressive.
A boring plot along with a number of technical and visual shortcomings will make it pretty hard for gamers to feel like the earth’s savior. After destroying a few terribly animated objects, you may not even be inspired to finish Iron Man.
