Well I said before that I would rent it and I have. I'll post my opinion of the game after about 1-2hours of playing it.

The fact that it's been released before there are any reviews makes me think that Iron Man won't beat the video game curse. Probably another 5/10 cash in.

The only way a video game can be based on a movie and still be good is if its links to the movie are very weak. Goldeneye is hardly based on the movie at all - just the story-line, not the bulk of the action. None of the Star Wars games based directly on the movies are any good, but the games that extend the universe are. The Lord of the Rings games are probably the most successful in making a movie into a good video game.

I sure hope so, the movie was great. Besides Iron Monger and Titanium Man, does anyone know what other bosses will be in the game?

Ok I played the game for almost two hours.

Besides the first level, I didn't notice any music. I pretty sure there was some there but I didnt here it.

The graphics are pretty bad. The cut scenes are alright I guess. There are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO many frame drops in the game.

The gameplay is repetitive and linear. Not to mention it feels like a button masher.

This game seems very short. 2 hours and I'm about half way through it.

It doesn't look anywhere near as god as the trailer. The environment lacks detail and has dead pixels running at random places. Iron man looks alright but thats compared to the rest of the game. The cutscenes look half real, but get pixely a lot. Not a very good job done by sega here.

I made the horrible mistake of buying this game yesterday It's not the worst game I've ever played. But it's bad enough for me to do the following. I'm porbably going take a knife, put a scratch in the disc, birng it back to gamestop, tell them it was like that when I bought it and that it won't work, and than trade it in for store credit. Please do your self a favor and don't get this game.

Dude, something already beat the movie-game curse, SpiderMan 2. Then again, Spidey is freakin' badass!! I don't have enough money for this game but I liked the demo. I blew my $ on GTA 4 and MKWii. BEST FREAKIN' PURCHASE OF MY LIFE!

I was spot on, IGN rated Iron Man 5/10. A better score than the 360/PS3 versions but that's really not saying much.

this is prolly the strangest thing i have ever seen. ps3/360 has better visual, physics and details, every thing except motion controls which is the only reason that wii got better score (i think) this is what i have seen happen with other games too. this is something that should tell the people that wii motion controls are a gimmick.

From what i read in the reviews it seemed to be the actual gameplay that made the difference, not the controls.

They made a big point about the level up systems. In the 360/PS3 versions you level up your weapons by earning money, which is gained by beating up wave after wave of respawning boring enemies. In the Wii version you level up your weapons just by using them more.

They said that the 360/PS3 versions were too tough, resulting in an Iron Man that was constantly trying to hide from enemies. The Wii version is easier so it dosen't make you have to hide and isn't as frustrating.

So gimmicky motion controls have nothing to do with the Wii's higher score, it's purely the game design. It still isn't very good on any consoles though!

It's a shame, because the game actually looks pretty cool in the trailers, even for the Wii.

Not surprising that it sucks, though. Typical superhero movie game.
