Superman Returns

Look up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's…a piece of steamy, corny shit! Sadly, despite some swell superhero offerings in recent years, a la the awe-inspiring Spider-Man 2 and The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction games, Superman still fails to star in a super game. It's not as shitty as, say, the awful Superman 64, but this bad apple doesn't fall far from that shit-stained tree. What's broken? 1) No battle with Lex Luthor. None. 2) Brandon Routh's voiceover work as the "Man of Steel" sounds like someone recorded him talking in his super-sleep. 3). The final boss fight is with a—no joke—a fucking tornado. 4) No nude code for Lois Lane. Bring this game in for a landing.
