Iron Man Video Review: Is this PS3 and Xbox 360 game for kids?

As we all know Iron Man was a massive success in the theatres but is the same for the game? Donning the red suit Iron Man for the gaming world looks good or does it look bad, we will leave that one up to you to decide. The Sega title for PS3 and Xbox 360 players take control of Tony Stark ripping apart tanks, catching fighter jets and flying high. The billionaire hero’s game shiny and polished or covered in a thick layer of tarnish? Runs parallel to the story of the film, the games plot attempts to excite and whoa us and the graphics look pretty decent compared to a lot of games on the market.

The only downsides to this game is the fact that if you have not seen the film in the theatres we can see you having real troubles understanding the story, for example if you have not seen the film but go and play the game you will not know about the power cell on iron mans chest.

The game is about of course the development of the suit and villains of course within the game have their very own suits, the game consists of a dozen missions including cities, deserts and flying fortresses. Each mission is similar, you basically fly to an area and then identify your targets and destroy them all and then take on the next set of targets.

I have not seen this film yet but have heard it is a great film to watch, but will this game be all what it is said to be. So is this game good or not, personally it seems a pretty good game but plots and storyline is pretty thin.

Please watch the Iron Man Video Review below and then let us know what you think of the game.

Iron Man Game: Sony PS3 vs Xbox 360 Comparison Video

Today we have found a comparison video of the Iron Man video game and of course its comparing the Sony PS3 against the Xbox 360 version of Iron Man. Game Trailers have gone with the tag line “Can this one man army stand against the console war?” While we can take this anyway we want, it does seem that GT could be aiming at starting a debate between gamers.

The debate will happen no matter what, but the Iron Man comparison (See Video Below) increase this mainly because the two look so different. I have personally played both and can say that the 360 did not look that washed out, although I played both at different times, they looked the same to me. If you look at the video below, the Playstation 3 has better visuals and some people are saying that the gamma values on the 360 are obviously incorrect.

Surely they would not change the settings to make fan boys argue?

The gameplay on both versions of Iron Man are the same, and if you tweak the PS3 or 360 settings, you can change a lot. To me it looks like the balance and contrast has been changed on the 360 version. I own a PS3 and personally these comparison videos seem a little pointless, so the real question is: Does anyone really care anymore?

Iron Man Movie Trailer: Paramount Pictures will adapt to a full film

The fan community as a whole are reported to be not happy with the idea of the Iron Man Movie Trailer being made into a full length feature film, Paramount Pictures are planning to adapt the popular trailer to a full film by expanding the montage of short shots in the trailer to full length distinct scenes.

In-between those scenes they plan on adding other scenes that were not in the trailer, the short trailer tells an amazing story where a billionaire is kidnapped and then turns on his kidnappers by designing an amazing suit of armor which not only lets him escape, but also turns him into a hero to the world. They are bringing Robert Downey Jr back for his role in the full film and may bring others as well.

One thing is for sure and that is the cool movie trailer from last year will see millions made from its popularity. What’s your opinion, do you think Iron Man can maintain its entertainment value when it gets adapted to a feature-length film?

Iron Man Armor Showcase: 360 exclusive armor sucks compared to Sony PS3

Not only has the Iron Man movie showing potential but the game is as well, just take a look at this video of the game, it shows you all the iterations of Iron Man’s armor. Let us hope that Iron Man does what Superman Returns could not, and go from a movie into a great game.

I have to say the best armor has to be the hulkbuster, man it is a beast. There is one problem, the Xbox 360 exclusive armor sucks compared to the Sony PS3.
