- So much and so little.
This game is exactly like the movie was: Lots of flash, with a great moment here or there, but ultimately falls short. Significantly.

Superman's powers are nearly all accessible, and are very fun to use. The most basic ones you'll be using are flight and super-speed. There's nothing quite like creating a sonic boom over Metropolis on your way to the next mission, but once the joy of freedom to use his many powers wears off, the game has very little else to offer you. This is increased by the fact that the damage Metropolis takes is essentially your health bar. It falls low enough, game over. This means you COULD throw a car at your enemy, but the damage it could cause makes that a bad idea.

The game is very repetitive, and not very interesting in the use of the cast members. I don't recall ever even pretending to be Clark Kent during the game, nor any other very interesting points at all. This game is definitely a rental- I wouldn't recommend buying it.

- Do you enjoy punching robots and putting out fires in a bland jaggy cityscape that looks like a hotel on a cliff?
Then you'll love Superman Returns. To be fair the developers did a great job w/ the flying effects, unfortunately taking off and landing are as cumbersome as some PC flight sims.

EA created an "open city" in the style of GTA, only they forgot to add any style and personality to it. What results is a sandbox without any toys to play with. You've got super powers, but the game forces you to repeat tasks like shooting meteors down and blowing out fires ad nauseam.

- Barely what you would want out of a Superman game.
This game is very passable! The flying is pretty fun, but why do side missions pop up and interupt the exploring. Also, whats up with a Metropolis health meter? LAME!!!!!!!!!!!!! In addition, the graphics aren't that good. The XBOX 360 version of this game looks better. The sound is good, but Brandon Routh sounds doorky!!! Don't even mention the story, it is a confussing mess. The menus are good and well layed out. The map is also pretty well layed out. However the game is way to short. Superman Returns is very average and barely what a Superman game should be. Its a start for a free roaming Superman game, but people who want something like Spider-man 2 or 3 should keep their [...] $.

- SUPER
This is the greatest game ever. I can't seem to stop playing, the moves and graphics are perfect. I vote this game "BEST GAME EVER!!!"

- A disappoitment game for a disappointment movie
I'm a huge Superman fan so I was anxious to play this game, and pretend to be like Superman. What a huge mistake. And I'm sad to say that this game sucks hard time. Superman never had any real good video games in its history. And this is no exception. It's boring. All Superman do is fight silly robots. Why does he always have to fight robots in his games? The same problem with Superman: Shadow of Apokolips. I didn't finished it because it is so lame.If you still would like to go through all this madness rent it first.And do yourself a favor, buy a real superhero game.
