15-Aug-2001 Travesty time with the comic characters massacred
After the ludicrously appalling Batman Forever, Acclaim have obviously acquired a taste for comic licences and as such have released Iron Man and X-O Manowar in Heavy Metal to give it its full title.
You'd think Acclaim would know better than to release such substandard nonsense as it does their reputation no good whatsoever. Iron Man obviously runs on the same engine as the recent Batman Forever game and likewise the graphics are terrible with the motion capture system being equally as disappointing. As in Batman Forever the end-of-level bosses are particularly ugly to look at and all employ the exact same cheap tactics. The action is repetitive with little variety in the moves or weapons and with the mission objectives being incidental to the gameplay. The music is also pretty dire. Don't be fooled by the Marvel Comics licence, it doesn't make the game any more enjoyable.

Verdict
With little variation in the dull gameplay and terrible graphics this is one game to be avoided at all costs.
