IRON MAN 2


How do we best simulate the life of millionaire bon vivant
Tony Stark? A 4X-type spreadsheet nerd-fest like Civ, 
perhaps? maybe a stock trading sim much like Wall Street 
Kid? Nope, Sega totally blew it and released this pile or 
public consumption. It's probably the most forgettable
action game in existence - pretty much all you do is fly, 
shoot things, and maybe throw around a tank or two. Name
a convention from any rote action game over the past couple
of years and this game has it: loadouts, upgrades, chapter-based
levels, and an overcomplicated control scheme. The only things
missing are a cover system and Nolan North.
The premise of having a game continues where the [incredibly
well done] movie left off was initially interesting. However,
Sega's incompetent U.S. team just had to poop on an otherwise-
interesting plot with such an unremarkable product.
