Nov 23, 2006 · Superman Returns: The Videogame Review. After the thrill of flying around Metropolis wears off, Superman Returns is nothing more than a below-average, repetitive movie tie-in. By Aaron Thomas...
Nov 22, 2006 · But just like every Superman game before it, Superman Returns is a Kryptonite sandwich. How exactly is the Atari 2600 Superman game still the best one ever?

The years have not been kind to this Xbox exclusive. Back in 2002, flying around a 3D Metropolis with all of Superman’s powers at your disposal was still a fresh concept. It also did it much better than any other title at the time. These days, the game’s overall clunkiness is much more noticeable. Plus, the timed missions really make you consider p...
If you’re on the lookout for a passable Game Boy Advance title that doesn’t overstay its welcome, then Countdown to Apokolips might be the one for you. In all seriousness, this isometric action game is truly fine & dandy. You fly around, punch some thugs, and make use of your few powers. Occasionally a boss will turn up looking for a fight. And to ...
Beat ‘em ups used to be all the rage. This Superman game was in no way the reason for the genre’s popularity. Yet, it’s not a bad game either. Just dated. Like in most arcade beat ‘em ups, each level you punch and kick your way through groups of enemies before tussling with a boss. There’s also some shoot ‘em up sections where you use Superman’s cl...
Have you ever wanted Marvel Ultimate Alliance, but without those pesky Marvel characters? If so, then Justice League Heroes might be your thing. It’s a top-down dungeon crawler where you control all of your favorite Justice League members: Superman, Batman, Zatanna (surprisingly), and many more. No one would ever claim that’s it’s the most refined ...
Pairing up the DC Universe with a series where even the good guys rip out their opponent’s spines? Yes, an odd choice. Against all odds, though, Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe is actually pretty good. Yes, if you’re a Mortal Kombat fan, you might miss all the gore that the franchise is known for. But those who are simply excited at the prospect of S...
From the name alone, you might think this is on the wrong list. But while Batman is the only superhero to get title privileges, he’s joined by an abundanceof his DC brethren, including Superman. If you’ve played any of the many Lego games then you know what to expect from Lego Batman 3: 1. Clever references 2. Non-strenuous gameplay 3. Many charact...
The words “movie tie-in” probably sends a cold shiver down your back. And really, is that surprising? These movie tie-ins have failed to deliver the goods on so many occasions. Thankfully, Superman Returns is one of the better ones. You fly around the giant Metropolis using your many powers to keep the city safe. I mean those last words very litera...
Beat ‘em ups are known for a lot of things. But engaging narratives aren’t one of them. The Death and Return of Superman is the rare exception. That’s because it adopts the classic Death of Superman storylinefrom the comics. Which means you get to play as five different heroesover the course of the game, all with their own unique powers. Neat! Alth...
You may remember that in the LEGO Batman 3 entry, I mentioned that it didn’t reinvent LEGO games. Well, this one did. It was the first of TT’s LEGO titles to include voices for the characters. And traversing a fully open world in the series seemed like a fantasy before DC Super Heroes let you loose on a LEGO Gotham City. While the originality of th...
Storytelling isn’t usually a big selling point for fighters. But when you deliver a tale as great as the one in Injustice: Gods Among Us, then it becomes theselling point. And our old friend Superman plays a huge part in the compelling narrative. Don’t worry, though, there’s still a lot to offer anyone who just wants to beat up their friends in a v...
