It’s an underwhelming movie tie-in game!
And the Iron Man has made some fundamental mistakes…
The DSs unique form factor offers all sorts of opportunities for imaginative developers to create exciting and original videogames.
At heart,Iron Manis a bog-standard, blow-up-the-baddies affair in which you play the eponymous Marvel character.
The films plot is thrown in too, of course, but it didnt have to be.
Just shoot the enemies you dont need to know why.
Not great value for almost 30.
YetIron Manis not a disaster far from it.
Disposable, certainly, but not a disaster.
Top marks for playing out the credits with Black Sabbaths Iron Man too.
None of these qualities rescue it as a full-priced offering, of course.
If it was a drink,Iron ManDS would be a glass of water served at room temperature.
Not a disaster, but very disposable.
In other words, a typical early 21st-century movie licence.
