 An Insult to PC gamers. May 29, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The game itself, as far as Game play, is fair... not much more. the graphic suck. the processor "required" is supposed to be a 3 gig processor and a modern graphics card... I can't for the life of me tell you why. As others have stated, the game is a port from the PS2 version, meaning crappy graphics and bad textures. Also, the game is short. Very short. not to mention the claim that it is a free roaming world is misleading at best you still have linear missions to accomplish, the only thing 'free roaming' is the way you choose to proceed to your clearly pointed to objective. And I swear that Psycho-mantis from Metal Gear Solid is the badguy in one of the levels... save your money, if you have a next gen console system the game may be better on that, but I seriously want to sue Sega for misleading me.
Jarvis we have a problem........... May 24, 2008
http://boards2.sega.com/sega_board/viewforum.php?f=60
Update: The Sega forums suggest some solutions to the glitchy scenarios which you might want to try. The following is a list of keyboard controls which is different from (and more complete) than the game manual. HTH:
Iron Man Keyboard controls
WMove Forward
AMove Backward
SMove Left
DMove Right
MouseMove Camera / Target Enemy
Left Mouse ButtonFire Weapon
Middle Mouse WheelNext Weapon
Right Mouse ButtonAfterburner
Space BarHover Up
XFreefall (when hovering)
FPunch / Contextual Action
ShiftDash
1Propulsion Energy
2Armor Energy
3Weapon Energy
4Even Energy
EscapePause Menu
Left Alt: Afterburner flight
The game starts off nicely enough with a "bash through the tunnels and kill the bad guys" scenario. Simplistic controls, dated graphics but not bad either. Second scenario is flight and weapons testing, an overly long tutorial as you learn the basics of flight and weapons with the suit. Not bad either but then the scenario doesn't end, you can't get out of the warehouse/target range to move on to the next scenario. The walkthrough that's posted online is for the console version, NOT the PC version (appears to be major differences) and there are no patches posted, I'm writing this on May 24, 2008 and hoping that they'll fix the problem and post a patch for it. So far I'm very disappointed, I have to agree with the poster who said this looks like a "rush job" rather than a finished product. I haven't returned it because I'm hoping that they can fix the problem with a patch, I've been an Iron Man fan for many years and am still looking forward to playing this game.
METAL FATIGUE... May 10, 2008

Superheroes make good movies but usually awful games. Someday this rule will acquire an exception. But that day is not today.
IRON MAN suffers from more than the problems of a bad port. Sure, controls are awkward but one eventually gets used to them. The missions seem childish but I had no higher expectations from a game released only to ride the blockbuster movie wave.
What I could not get past was how underdeveloped the graphics were! Yes, I turned all options to their highest setting. No matter, graphically the game is comparable to 5-6 year old releases! HALF LIFE2 had much better surfaces, environments and effects. The same is true for DOOM 3 and QUAKE 4. I had to go back to UNREAL 2 to find something to compare IRON MAN with - and even that 6 years old game wins hands down!
The gameplay never takes off either. Flying is fun but only within the (very limited) confines of the predesigned area. All in all, IRON MAN demonstrates all the characteristics of a rush-job carried out by the developing team's bench-warmers.
Only for very dedicated Iron Man fans. And even then, a masochistic streak is required...

Please note that the PC version of the game is a port from the PlayStation2 version of the game. The in-game graphics are "old gen" as a result, and poorly ported at that! If graphics are important to you, you'd be better off purchasing the 360 or PS3 version of the game.
A few other differences between the next/current gen version of the game and the PC/PS2 version:
* Upgrades are not purchased, the items you use the most are automatically upgraded.
*There are fewer unlockables and missions in the PC version.
