Superman Returns Reviews

The GameDaily One-Minute Review

All the marketing super powers at EA couldn't concoct a game worthy of Superman's stature. How sad. Superman Returns had some potential with EA Tiburon throwing in classic villains from yesteryear instead of just following the lame-duck movie storyline. However, repetitive, unlikable gameplay squashes everything. Flying around with the Man of Steel becomes about as entertaining as putting a helmet on your head and ramming into a brick wall at top speed. The stale ground combat gets old quickly, the incredibly frustrating boss encounters fail to excite, and the graphics look average rather than breathtaking -- even by the Xbox 360's standards. In short, this is a complete and utter letdown that's hurt the Superman legacy quicker than any chunk of Kryptonite ever could. His string of bad video games continues.
