Download Superman Returns: The Videogame. XBox Superman Returns looks like a passable game, and it definitely feels like one when you first start playing it. Xbox World Australia.

While there's nothing broken about Superman Returns, it just doesn't amount to a particularly fun experience, with boring super-powers and mindless melee combat. After the thrill of flying around Metropolis wears off, Superman Returns is nothing more than a below-average, repetitive movie tie-in that doesn't even do the movie tie-in part well. Talk Xbox. The repetition and horrible encounters make Superman Returns: The Videogame drag along at a snails pace.

The controls are about as responsive as a corpse in the city morgue and the moody camera handcuffs you at every turn. User Reviews. Write a Review.

True to the fiction in every respect, this is the game based on the Superman universe that fans have been anticipating for decades. From excited citizens to the traffic on the streets, every detail of this vibrant city has a mind of its own.

These 80 square miles are brought to life for the first time in a videogame. Go anywhere and do anything in Metropolis as Superman. That is to say that after you defeat enemies not in the movie like Metallo, Parasite and Bizarro, you will be treated to a short cutscene of Lex Luthor, voiced by Kevin Spacey, going over the next phase of his nefarious plan to create a continent of kryptonite.

After the cutscene, you will then return to the virtual Metropolis to fight against evil foes that didn't appear in the movie. As far as licenses go, this was among the worst uses of one in years. Even though the stars of the movie lent their voices and likenesses to the game, the voice acting , with the exception of Spacey, is flat. Superman, voiced by Brandon Routh, sounds about as interested in saving Metropolis as he is in deciding on a ripe melon at the market.

And here's a spoiler, in more than one sense: there is no great gameplay battle against Luthor, nor do you save Lois from a crashing jet, a burning building or even a paper cut.

Superman Returns draws from not only the movie but also 60 years of comic book history, you say. That is true, and there are a few boss fights against some noted villains of the past.

But how do you create a Superman game without showing Clark Kent once, without having to save Lois Lane once, or without having to do battle with Lex Luthor once?

As such, this is a terribly shallow Superman experience, and without having read the comics will you never know who Metallo is, what Mister Mxyztplk wants, and where Bizarro comes from. If creators Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster were to pen a comic out of this game, it would be a four-page affair with little-to-no dialogue and a hundred windows of nothing but "crash," "boom" and "bang.

Flying at super-speed is a great feeling, and zipping between the skyscrapers of Metropolis feels even better than wall-crawling in the acclaimed Spiderman games. Superman comes equipped with most of his powers, including heat vision, freeze breath and blow breath, although X-ray vision is absent, most likely to keep the game rated T for Teen, if ya know what I mean.

Because Superman is pretty much invincible, it is Metropolis that features a life bar, and it's up to you to ensure it doesn't deplete.

When you first pick up the controller, you really feel like you are controlling Superman and that you can do almost everything he can. In a heartbeat you launch into the stratosphere, looking down on the teeming Metropolis from thousands of feet in the air.

From there, you can explore 80 square miles of city and more than 8, building, a time consuming task if you were to go street-to-street. On the ground, you can run at super speed ala The Flash and pick up just about any item you can imagine, like tractor trailers, the citizens of Metropolis and even the giant globe of the Daily Planet.

With the exception of the hero-worshiping population, all of these can be hurled at your foes. You also learn melee-combinations and moves like Jor-El's Fist, Supernova and Earthquake, performed by simple button-presses. Being a third-person, open-world game, Superman is equipped with a lock-on system that, with the exception of some occasional camera issues, works fairly well. This combines for the best-playing Superman game yet, in that you experience control of a superhero rather than the limitations of a videogame.
