Is it a bird?

I was asked, what I felt like doing today?
Wide eyed, I responded, I felt like flying around Metropolis.

Oh god, a game from 2006? Are you freaking kiddin' me?

Oh yes, God indeed, Superman Returns: The video game, sucked balls.
Most will know this from any review they can find or having played the game itself.

It's based on a movie, coincided with the DVD release, because EA required more time, (The redness of his cape was too dark, Lmao) and couldn't have it ready to coincide with the cinema release.

I personally thought it was a porn star without her make up, however, sometimes they do some things better than imagined. A little to graphic?

Flying around at super sonic speed is a blast for the five minutes I want to feel like, well, a Superman. Isn't that why we play games like this, to enjoy the small things.

Using godly powers as heat vision to warm up cold dragons, or freeze breath to cool down hot ones. 

Using his fairly pointless, super breath to push away robots to a safe fighting location to save destruction around the city, which acts as ones health bar, so I don't feel compelled to carry moronic NPCs to a nearby ambulance. I'm just that kind of guy, damsel in distress and all that. 

Speaking of which, what's Superman without Lois Lane, I really thought I could catch a plane or at least save her from a drowning yacht. Nope. 
It's Metropolis, Lois Lane is in it, she is known for getting in trouble and our Supe's job to save her. 

If only we could turn back time.

Why I keep this lacklustre, I wanna say, game? In my collection, is the small things some of which I mentioned a moment ago.

Running at Super speed on the ground before taking off, always feels great, breaking the sound barrier while in the air is pretty awesome, even with the below mediocre graphics.  The sound effects making it a little more engrossing.

Slowing down mid-air is kind of cool too, slightly dark cape flapping around in the wind before heading off in the opposite direction, just for the hell of it. I ain't saving no cat fool.

A few extra minutes of fun can be found in throwing large objects towards the heavens and chasing it, catching up to it and then racing it back down. (Recommend giving it a head start)

You can't do much in this title but the good things you can do, are pretty fun, albeit for five maybe ten minutes.

I guess all that's left to say is, Hurry Up Rocksteady, bring our hero into the skies and this adopted God sent to us mere mortals from destruction, back into our hearts.

Don't ask, Don't get...
