One of this year's biggest movies is set to be Iron Man starring Robert Downey Jr. and of course with a blockbuster this size comes the obligatory game tie in. Unfortunately while the film is entertaining and fun, the game ends up a mish-mash of instantly forgettable proportions.

You are cast as Shellhead and there are around 14 levels containing characters which were not in the movie such as Controller and Whiplash. Equally so, the game plot has very few similarities with the movie and when you combine this with the appalling audio quality it is a less than satisfying escapade.

Hehe, this is one of my favorite GH reviews yet

Quote:

Iron Man is a lame attempt to get money from kids who have enjoyed the excellent and entertaining movie. The game is repetitive, banal and half hearted and the coders have clearly tried to compensate for the poor level design with respawning units which will drive any sane person to the joys of alcohol. The storyline does not follow the movie in a cohesive manner and the cutscenes are embarrassingly bad. This is a game to avoid at all costs and I hope to god that the next game I have to review for Gaming Heaven hasn't been coded by a bunch of mentally challenged monkeys.
