Agh, this game is absolutely hard. Oh yeah, it's fun to fly around the open world of Metropolis, but when it comes to saving the day it's just not easy for our Man of Steel. I reviewed this game for the DS version, while that one was better, it seems that this one doesn't. The graphics are awesome, the gameplay is ok, but when it comes to saving people or destroying monsters, it becomes really ridiculous. In the fact that I am at the part where I have to save the people in three blimps from a lot (and I mean a lot) of Bizzaro dragons, burning them down. There's no way for you to destroy them all without the blimps being destroyed. Heck, you can't tell which power you can use against them, if that's any help, there is just more of them coming out of nowhere. Really, really ridiculous. The plot is the same as the DS version. Save Metropolis before it's too late! Anyways yhe bosses are pretty fun, and neat. They're the only fun moments in this game (Metallo, Bizzaro, Mongul, etc). Overall, bad game for any fans, unless they just want to do the flying around the city and not help anyone. Which you HAVE to in order to keep flying around in that city as long as you can. There's a health meter for the city, even when you accidentally hit an innocent person or burned down a building by accident, the city meter gets lower and lower. Same thing with the DS version (the city meter part), but at least that one is more enjoyable. Poor, poor Superman. Can they make a Superman game right for once?

So a few weeks ago I finally beaten this game. And now that I have finished this, I don't think any different of it. The most things I hate the most about this game is the plot, the controls for Superman, the villain Riot (which I never knew how to beat him), and the freakin' Tornados! Oh sure that Tornados level was easy but it was ridiculous! Oh "Superman vs. The Weather" how original. Jeez...but overall this game can be sometimes fun but it's not the greatest or the best. So Superman fans I don't think you should get this game. I don't think it's worth a rental either. It's ridiculous, repetitive, and stupid. But if you want to roam around Metropolis for the first time, then go ahead and play this game. But that won't last for long, because there is still more trouble in the city for you to go out there and save the day. Seriously they come out of no where. And I think it's ridiculous when there's a big thing in the city (tornados, bad guys, etc.) and then you have to save the city, is kind of hard and is really stupid. I mean the city has it's own Health Meter. Stupid, stupid, stupid. I don't know, do they expect him to save the whole freakin' world? He's only one man...alien...creature...whatever, and he can't do everything at once! Ridiculous. Very, very ridiculous. Ok, I'm done. I'm almost done 100% on the game, because I'm only at 95% complete right now. So it's going to take awhile for me to completely finish it because I have to save the city....again.
Ok, now I am done with this review.
