Oh well . . .

Wow, Superman Returns: The Videogame has been getting absolutely destroyed in the reviews. After the demo, I was actually pretty siked about this game.

I guess I can see this as a positive, as it is one less game I need to play/buy, but the game did have great potential (from the standpoint of the way Superman controlled and the giant Metropolis City that was created). From reading the reviews, EA really dropped that ball and rushed this game out (even with the initial delay). The ground work seems to be there: solid controls, huge city, decent graphics, and you actually feel like Superman, but the gameplay/story department is severely lacking. How can you have a Superman Returns game, which shows the events of the movie in cinematics, but you not once interact with Louis Lane or Lex Luthor? That is just bad, bad design.

I actually hope they release a sequel to this game and spend all their development time building on the solid foundation that was created, and improve the flow of the game, have an actual story, and let Superman do more than fight random robots and dragons.

Oh wait, I am now boycotting EA, so scratch that. I now hope Army of Two is crappy, so I don't feel inclined to buy it :p
