I had a hard time picking the adjective to describe the wreck which barely clings to the term "video game".
Boring!
So far, I've spent most of the time playing this deciphering both what is going on and what I was supposed to do. When you first appear, there seems to be a man near a car, trying to point you to floating rings. Beyond throwing the man off a building and repeatedly dropping and saving the car, I still really don't know the objective or even why I would want to complete it. Flying around the completely uninhabited metropolitan area makes me wonder what exactly Lex Luther is trying to accomplish this time- and if there's no one in the city, why can superman only fly around and not, say, destroy the city? Needless to say, that would bolster the rating by quite a bit.
Broken!
How on earth is one supposed to do anything when the controls seem perpetually impossible? The difficulty of any game should not be moving and using a character. Simply walking around is a huge chore in this game, let alone using the different superpowers. Flying is fun, but sadly there doesn't seem to be a clear way to control it. Floating rings seem to still hang in the air unless superman goes right through the middle- and when he seems to have constant spasms, the flying exercises really are one of the most difficult aspects of the game.
Disastrous!
Need I say more? Alright. Broken controls, always conflicting with boring story lines and poorly animated enemies, really mixes together for an explosion. Not a fun one, either. The kind that bottles up in the frustrated player until they toss the cartridge in a real explosion. This game simply wastes the plastic and electronics it's encased in.
Final analysis?
NEVER BUY THIS GAME. If you do, make sure you buy a lot of anti-depressants along with it to make sure you don't kill yourself in an attempt to forget the game.
