I actually covered the Superman Returns review for the Xbox 360: Superman Returns: Xbox 360 Review

If you don’t want to read the whole thing, here’s the final paragraph:

Superman Returns: The Videogame is the best Superman game i’ve played to date, of that there’s no doubt. I’m also sure that just about anyone who plays this game for any period of time will find something they like about it, but I honestly can’t recommend it for purchase to anyone outside of die-hard Superman fans. If you’re not a Superman fan, though, I’d suggest at least a rent.

Second, everyone that played it in early October – IGN included – had good things to say. I haven’t seen any hands-on previews from that timeframe that had anything negative to say. If you want, you can even check out IGN’s review that was of the same build that we got to play:

Once again, they had nothing bad to say. Reading their last paragraph even states: “EA has taken its time to get this thing right, which is the smartest move, and gamers are going to be pleased with the results. And that’s what matters most, right?” Where is there negative in that?

On the same note, hands-on previews and playing the game in your own console are two very different situations.

I’d like to go into it further, since i’ve completed the game, but i’d rather save that for my review. You won’t have to look very far to find it, as it’ll be the very first thing you see when you get here.

My only question is: D’Juan, you played the game on community day for 3hours, how did you not pick up on these same things that a lot of people are crying about now? Why is IGN and these places giving it a 5.5? How could you miss the mistakes in this game?

Also I would like to know, are you going to also do a review on the complete game?

Please understand I am not trying to attack you, just don’t understand.

I myself will be playing the game next week wednesday but untill then I just don’t get how all of you guys at the community day didnt pick up on the now so BOLDLY stated flaws of the game? At the time you all seemed to enjoy it and gave such positive feedback, which now seems to be completely the opossite, did the game change that much, that quickly? I mean, on community day you guys played for 3hours yet now they say you can finish the whole game in 2hours? I don’t get it D’Juan, please reply?

Chance: My goal here is to tell it like it is all the time, so if you catch me slipping from that goal, by all means say so!
