Game of superman

Thus, writers came up with the Kryptonite which is a mineral from Krypton. It is usually shown as a bright green rock but there are other colors such as red, black, blue, white, and gold, each with unique effects. Prolonged exposure to Kryptonite can be fatal to Superman but lead containers can protect him from it. By the way, he cannot see through lead. However, he has a childhood sweetheart named Lana Lang and he also had a college girlfriend named Lori Lemaris who is a mermaid.

Yes, he almost got married to a mermaid. Due to the popularity of the character, many Superman games have been made in the past years, and there will definitely be more Superman games in the future. Welcome to Kids Games Heroes.

To be honest sorry Clark , not even cryptonite can save this game. Superman is a conservative effort that lacks game play depth or originality. The game may perhaps serve as a training ground for younger gamers, but for you veterans, your heroic efforts are better spent somewhere else. From the asphalt jungle of the underworld to the far reaches of outer space, the Man of Steel's arch-enemies have conspired to enslave the world and destroy Superman in the process.

Only you can stop them. Find them with your X-Ray Vision. Freeze them with your Super Breath. Fry them with your Heat Vision. Flash through the air at the speed of light, or gather your strength for the Super Spin, to bore through the center of the Earth. But watch out! If their Kryptonite gets to you before you get to your enemies, it's the end of Truth, Justice, and the American Way!

You know that it is usually not good news when a game gets delayed for nearly a year. The cause of delays in games is usually due to the fact that the game is just not coming together as expected. Sure, there are occasions where a delay happens to add a little extra glitz, but for the most part if a game is heavily delayed it is not a good sign.

Take Superman, for example. It was scheduled for release almost a year ago. I am going to let you in on a little secret. Some people may not want to hear this secret, so if you get sick to your stomach easily, I suggest you skip the rest of this paragraph. Okay, so you are still here? Now the person that told me this little secret will remain forever anonymous, but let me just say that said person has been in the video game industry for a long, long time.

We were talking and this person told me that there comes a point in some games' development cycles where the team gets together and basically says that the game is crap and everyone acknowledges that it is crap. Here comes the kicker—the company basically makes one of three choices: scrap the game entirely and move on with life, start the entire development process over from the beginning, or just release the game that everyone knows is crap and just hope to recover development costs up to that point.

So if you have ever played a crappy game and asked the question, "Didn't they know this game sucked before releasing it? Superman is a textbook case of this. I will do my best to give you an idea of what you are up against in this game, but I will be quite honest—I played this game enough to get a good idea of how it plays and to give it a fair shake, but not one second longer.

I have better things to do with my time. Okay, so you strap on your cape and pull up your red boots and get to live the life of Superman. There are 14 levels to try to make your way through, using a combination of fighting, flying and superpowers.

Sound cool? Well it isn't, so don't get any funny ideas about spending money on this game. So what makes this game so bad, you ask?

The number one thing is that it makes no sense at all. You will perform the most mundane and ridiculous tasks and the whole time you will be asking yourself why you are forced to do them.

Since most people won't make it past the first level, let me describe it to you. It consists of flying Superman through a set of rings before the time runs out. If you manage to do this, you will have some absolutely stupid task that does not require flying. Once you complete this, you will fly through another "maze" of rings. Then another mundane task. Then more flying through rings. Then turning off your N64 because you just can't take it any longer.

While the gameplay is not at all exciting, at least the controls and collision detection suck too. First off, after you try to steer Superman through these rings, you will know what it would be like to be a drunk Superman.

The controls respond slowly and the action on the screen is very jerky. Keeping a straight line is not too difficult, but once you need to move at all, you will find yourself all over the place. Then there is the collision detection. You can fly headlong into a wall and you will just stop and stand in mid-air.

I don't care if you are the Man of Steel or not; you are going to bounce off the damn wall. And to make matters worse, if you brush against a wall, it is almost as if you stick to it. This resulted in plenty of friction, and ultimately, the project set to be titled Superman Lives was taken over by Tim Burton before eventually being canceled altogether.

Some may recall that the film, under Burton, would have starred human curiosity Nicolas Cage as Superman. So that's one more surreal experience taken from fans before it even had a chance.

Of course, Affleck did eventually get his chance to join the superhero genre as Batman in Batman v Superman , Justice League , and his upcoming final appearance as the character in The Flash. Plus, he actually got to wear the iconic Superman outfit while playing the character's original actor George Reeves in the neo-noir period film Hollywoodland.

Whether that works as a consolation prize is debatable. But it's still fascinating to think about what might have been. Particularly when it comes to the facial animations in cutscenes. Add to that the little tweaks that have been made to the gameplay and all of the new fighters. Superman: Shadow of Apokolips has everything you need for a great Man of Steel game.
