Iron Man 2 Video Game Review

OK, don't bother buying this game for any reason.  I'm a super geek and bought this because I'm so susceptible to superhero hype.  It took me maybe an hour and change to finish the game.  60 dollars for that?  No thanks. 

Aside from a couple of well animated cutscenes, there wasn't even any eye candy.  The characters look freaky, as if they were never fully rendered, and even though it's nice to have some of the sound effects (like the Repulsor blast) from the movie and Don Cheadle onboard for voiceover, couldn't they at least have found someone that sounds similar to Robert Downey Jr. to voice Tony Stark? 

Even the original had his voice and that got terrible reviews.  There was a lot of coverage of the making of this game months ago, but it looks like they might have run out of money to do a proper job.  My advice: skip this, even used or as a rental.  If you want to play as Iron Man, grab the first game used for less than 8 bucks.
