∞ Review: Iron Man 2 for iPad

Written by

It’s funny, but I usually stay away from games that are based on movies because, like the first paragraph of this review says, they usually suck. I actually started reading the review thinking they were going to surprise me and say this app was different — it wasn’t.

It’s a sad fact of video gaming history that licensed movie games are almost always disappointments. Shallow gameplay, rushed graphics and pedantic storylines typically dominate all but a very select few of these releases. Still, the faithful masses (like me) always hope for the rare title that will break this chain of mediocrity and rise to unexpected greatness.

Iron Man 2 for the iPad, alas, is not one of these games.

    I thought X-Wing and X-Wing Alliance were great games.

    They are few and far between. However, I think there are more crappy movies made from video games. Of course, that could change if Uwe Boll stopped assaulting the cinema.

    Have not personally played but I hear "batman arkham asylum" (xbox360/PS3) is a great game though based on the comic first — there are a number of companies that could do a superb Iron Man game, … Rockstar and Ubisoft generally do awesome work.
