Iron Man 2 Critic Reviews

Were this a non-licensed product, it would be a below-average action title with little to recommend. The fact that it stars a popular super hero definitely helps, as does the passable plot and enjoyable script, making Iron Man 2 a title that’s just barely worth playing.

The game fails to impress for the most part, but its one glowing achievement is the fact that I could play through it and didn’t ever really find myself hating my time with it.

Superhero games are supposed to be power fantasies. So far, the Iron Man games haven’t done much to inspire my dreams, but at least they’re not giving me nightmares anymore. If Sega keeps tweaking the formula, next time it might actually convince me that it’s fun being Iron Man.

It probably will not surprise you, but Iron Man 2 is a mediocre game. We appreciated the presence of various elements of interest in the first episode, elements that unfortunately have not been developed (or included at all) in this sequel. Better luck next time?

A twisted shrine to mediocrity.

In the end, this is an uninspired brawl from one mission to the next. You don’t need to worry about much, the game isn’t that hard, and it’ll be over before you know it.

Iron Man 2 seeks to outperform its predecessor with improved gameplay, better graphics and a bigger universe seen in the comic books. Despite being a funny game, it doesn't meet the minimum required for the current generation and remains halfway in all aspects. Only for fans of Iron Man and Marvel Comics heroes.

Iron Man 2 is another example of how a movie tie-in game can go horribly wrong. It isn't a very technically sound game, as issues with the controls and graphics make it apparent that the title lacks some polish.

If you enjoyed the movie, the game may potentially be worth a wait, but as with most movie game tie-ins, the game just isn’t up to scratch and will no doubt be found in the bargain-bin in a shop near you soon.

Iron Man 2 is monotone and way too short for a fully priced game and since it lacks a multiplayer mode, there’s no need to touch it again once you beat it. No need to buy this game unless you’re a true hardcore fan of the Iron Man series.

While I know there are plenty of other games out there worse than this, I at least wanted a compelling reason to play it. Unfortunately, there isn’t one. And, to top it off, the $60 price tag was just an insulting kick in the gut.

Iron Man 2 bungles its improvements and neuters its thrills, taking all the fun out of being a high-tech superhero.

The game somehow manages to get everything wrong yet even as a failure, Iron Man 2 is still far from grand.

Iron Man should be the ultimate mech, the battle suit that tantalizes, and fires the imaginations of gamers. Iron Man 2, though, is more blech than mech, and it stumbles along delivering a gaming experience that is unrewarding.

If you want more Iron Man 2 this summer, you're better off just seeing the movie twice.

Iron Man 2 is the typical movie game. The game has dated visuals, repetitive gameplay and unsatisfying controls. Even fans of the comic or the movie won’t have fun with this sequel.

Only the smallest of improvements on the original game and still a shameful waste of the license.

Iron Man 2 suffers from the same lack of energy as the first game, and despite a few interesting ideas, comes up short. Save your cash and go see the movie instead.

It's a game that failed to seize the license of the movie.

Sadly, Iron Man 2 is easily one of the most disappointing games of 2010 thus far, no doubt though there will be something else down the line that will reluctantly take this throne.
