Superman Returns
About the Game
Superman Returns is based on the movie of the same name. You control the man himself as he flies around Metropolis, saves citizens and fights natural disasters, fires and supervillains alike. You have constant access to Superman's powers including heat vision, freeze breath, invulnerability and flight at supersonic speeds, though the former two are limited by a stamina bar.
Story & Setting
Besides the main story missions, there are 200 kittens to rescue and many fires to put out.
Gameplay & Core Systems
Combat is accomplished through melee (you learn new combos as you progress in the game) as well as direct application of Superman's heat vision and freeze breath. Metropolis is presented as a wide open world where you can fly anywhere and perform any of the side missions at any given time.
Standout Features
- You can also rip down a lamppost and use it as a club.
Modes & Ways to Play
There is a race around the city against Myxyzptlk and a Bizarro mode, in which you must destroy the city.
