User Reviews about Iron Man

I gave this to my nephew's for Christmas and they love the game! They couldn't put it down and I hear from my brother they continue to enjoy it. -- My nephew's loved this game

My kids are too young to watch the movie, so I bought this game thinking that would satisfy their superhero dreams. Check out my Nintendo DS review of Incredible Hulk.

As it turns out, the voice acting and the music in Iron Man are authentic. However, the game is really difficult for my young gamers and they quickly lost interest and returned to playing Ben 10 Protector of the Earth and Spider-Man: Friend or Foe -- two games that are much easier to master.

I won't sell my copy of Iron Man, though. I have a feeling my kids will pick it up again when they are a little older. I can't give this four stars because it didn't grab my kids' attention like the Incredible Hulk did, but I wouldn't recommend selling your copy either.

This game is much better suited for older kids (older than 7) who can follow the storyline and will enjoy the missions and challenges Iron Man offers.

In summary, look elsewhere for young kids but this game will satisfy older superhero fans. -- Two boys' review: Not as fun as the Incredible Hulk for little kids

As any video game/movie tie-in would be, Iron Man is available on many platforms, including the DS, of which this version of the game ends up being the best. Sadly, that isn't really saying a whole lot, but for what its worth, Iron Man on the DS is a fun diversion for a while. Playing as 'ol shellhead, Iron Man offers up a pretty good looking 3-D engine for the DS that is nicely detailed for the most part, despite the fact that the game's camera doesn't do you any favors as off-screen enemies will fire at you. Not to mention that the game is kind of short and offers some clunky controls, and for a game screaming for some touch-screen originality, Iron Man doesn't offer any. There are some good points though that save Iron Man from being a total clunker, including the fact that the game does offer a bit of challenge, and film star Robert Downey Jr. provides some good voice work as well. All in all, Iron Man on the DS isn't bad, but it isn't anything special in the least either. -- Not bad, but nothing special either
