Look into the Sky

“You wrote that the world doesn’t need a Saviour, but every day I hear they cry for one” said Superman to Lois in Superman Returns, so now you’d have the opportunity to experience what it’s like to be Superman in Superman Returns The Video Game.


Many years have I waited for this game to come out, even trailers of the game came out immediately after the movie was released last summer. Even then, they’ve changed and delayed the release date. Moving it only later in October of last year. Despite how frustrating it was for a Superman fan. Even when website companies have already rated it a Low or Fair ratings even before the game had come out.

For me…It was worth it...I knew from the moment I saw the trailers….it’s going to be an amazing game...I Spoke to GL about the game; well he thought that I told him exactly how the trailer goes…

“It started with, tun-tun-tun tun tunnnn – Tunn Tunn Tunnn (Superman Theme Song)

Then...a Giant Metallo smashing his way into the Center of Metropolis, Alien robots crushing cars and buildings….then..

(Music theme picks up) Superman flying really fast into the city, once approaching Metallo, Metallo raises his right arm, only to shoot a massive rocket targeted to a skyscraper. “BOOM!!” the missile rocket was launch, Superman quickly flew off to save the people in that building, with Speed so fast he was able to catch up with the missile, heading his way to the front nose of the missile, pushing it slowly upwards, redirecting it to the sky…

Boom!! It exploded with Superman…Burning his body unconsciously, Superman falling down, slowly woken up only to finish what is left...Metallo...

Shooting red heat vision, Superman broke off two pillars that was holding a Helipad, Carrying it with Ease, he used it as a shield to block off Metallo’s Kyrptonite Green Rays, then Superman threw the giant helipad at Metallo like it was only a Frisbee. Metallo blocked it by smashing through the Helipad, But only to find out that Superman zoomed off into smashing right into Metallo’s stomach where he controls the giant, Superman carried Metallo off to the air as he once again have save Metropolis from Danger.


In this game, you will able to experience the ability to fly, Zooming across metropolis (81 acres) of it. Use your heat vision to blow up robots, Freeze the meteors from falling into the city, Blow out fires from burning building, and use super strength to match with strong villains.

EA Games once again manages to use Superman powers as a gimmick. Like previously Batman Begins, they were using Fear as their gimmick, this time, Superman has no health meter, but instead Metropolis has one, so if the gamer is busy flying high experiencing sonic booms (4 times the speed) when you stop to look at the gorgeous city, you’ll be able to hear things from above.

Then as usual, you’re a Superhero…Do your thing!

Personally I gave this game 7 out of 10, due to the lacking of storyline, and repetitive actions that you do, and if you keep on doing it, you’ll tend to get bored easily...but what the hey...i'm not complaining Well maybe for the ordinary gamers….me, I don’t know why I’m still playing it…
