User Rating: 1 | Superman: The New Superman Adventures N64
Superman, the greatest super hero of all time since Lincoln, he’s now on his own N64 game. What are the features of this game you say? The box says 14 missions, all the super powers X-ray vision, flight, super strength, heat vision, super speed, freezing breath and Interactive 3D environments, fight using element from the game. The game is created by Titus one of the greatest game developers ever. They made such great games as Ardy Lightfoot, Prehistorik 1 and 2, Virtual Kasparov and of cores Titus Fox. What don’t you remember them… guess not. So anyway, I bought this game thinking it’s going to kick kryptonite, but was I wrong. Here’s the story, Lex has trapped Jimmy, Lois and Professor something in the Star Gate and it’s up to Superman to do tricks to entertain Lex until he laughs his ass off at you for flying threw hula-hoop, throwing cardboard cars, beating up the same guy over and over in a 1 sided fight where the bad guys armed with a pistol. If you can read then you understand that what you do in the game is you fly threw hula-hoops until Lex laughs himself to a coma and releases you. Some Missions are just idiotic, mainly since you have to protect virtual people in a virtual world, that’s like risking your real life to save Slippy from Star Fox. There are a lot of dangers around the virtual world such as giant enemy crabs, electric super eels, and a robot that dances the 1 person forbidden dance when you shoot him The graphics are terrible, 1st off there’s a lot fog, it looks like Superman ate a Super burrito, your view is anything within about 25 feet of you. There’s about 2 building every few hundred yards. The ground is a mess; it’s completely flat. You can see a strange texture that looks like an overhead view of some flat buildings that looks beautiful if your 300 feet in the air and your site was able to see threw fog. The same henchman repeats over and over and over and over. Your moves and powers are just sad. You run like a constipated businessman. You got super speed but sometimes, it just doesn’t want to work and the meter will run out fast, even if the super speed is not working. You got X-ray vision and we all want to look at women, cheat at guessing games or kill 2 birds with 1 stone on Deal or no Deal. But in this game, it’s as useful as putting out a fire with a gas tank. To fly, you have to press Z, while you’re flying you press Z again to land but when you land, it stops you and gives enemy’s free hits. When on the ground you press R to do some strange jump, it’s more like Superman holding his fist up like a Hitler and skipping forward 3 feet in the slowest way possible. You pick up cardboard objects like an idiot. The distance you throw the car is determined by you swinging the analog stick back and forth which doesn’t seem to work well. You got a block attack for melee combat, but you might as well wave your hands around like Japanese kids watching the band Pokemon episode. Your freeze breath is kind of useful; you can freeze some bad guys, but there still able to move in Slow motion. Some parts of the game make you wonder what you need to do. On one level, you collect a weird blue and pink ying yang and it says “pick a side” WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? Another example is how you disarm a bomb, turns out you must freeze it, who ever stopped a bomb by freezing it? Was there anything fun about this game? The answer is NO.
