I don't have a deck for this review. Just read it.
Graphics: The graphics in this game are sloppy, blocky, and disgusting to look at. The enviornments are even worse. Getting to explore metropolis is like walking through a land where only two colors exist: pink, and a pukish green color. That's all. The cars look like giant lego blocks, and the game's enemies are bland.
Audio: The voices from the animated series of which this game is based upon come back to this game. Except, I think they just used the sound bytes from the animated series to voice them. So, as a result, the voice acting sounds canned and out of place. There isn't much sound in this game aside from that. There's a swoosh! here and there but, that's about it. The audio is no better than the graphics.
Controls: This is the travesty of the game. To make Superman fly you hit the Z button. Actually, you hit the Z button about 12-20 times before the game recognizes that you're hitting Z. That's how unresponsive the controls are. They're the worst I've seen in years. Not to mention that flying is so akward, you'll be on the ground again before you can get through the rings. It's awful. Even Superman himself can't save this games worst aspect. The unresponsive controls. It's awful......Oh, and speaking of rings.........
Gameplay: The thing you'll be doing most in this game (besides turning your N64 off) is flying through Lex Luthor's maze of rings in the time allowed. Flying through the rings is not only extremely frustrating, but also a WTF moment. You're SUPERMAN! Why would Luthor set up a maze of rings? It's just out of place and a clear message that Titus just wanted their money. After navigating each maze, you'll be faced with another timed mission such as, "Pick up two cars and throw them!" within about five seconds. These time limits are unforgiving and very cheap. The gameplay is just as bad as everything else.
Value: As well as the story mode, this......let's call this a thing because it's not even a real game.........has a practice mode which is just as bad as the story mode except there's no timers. And that's about it as far as features go in this game. There's little value here whatsoever, and the game is virtually unplayable. The game is a piece of history, but for all the wrong reasons.
Bottom Line: If you love Superman, don't buy this game. If you love yourself, don't buy this game. If you love those around you, don't buy this game. If you have any trace of sanity left, don't buy this game. It still pains me that this game (when it was realeased) was $70. I can't understand how a game developer could be so cruel. I just don't get it.
