I bought the 360 for this game so you can imagine I was looking forward to it. The experience of playing as Supe's is very clever. Flying at Superspeed is great and you get a feeling of power from the character but the game could have been so much better. The missions are very repetitive - usually involing fighting robots or mutants and this doesnt allow much of a plot to develop. Considering you can interact with cars, buildings and people it would have been nice to have some missions that required this - even if it was just rescuing people from buildings or stopping stolen cars or bank robbers - anything other than fighting missions. The main plot from the movie is carried out by cut scenes which is a real shame as you dont interact and there is no formal acknowledgment that you have completed the game. Not using the movie score was also a mistake, though the music inserted is well written - you really want to be bombing around Metropolis to the real music. I suppose the 360 is currently hampered because we are not using hi-capacity DVD disks yet - which explains the absence of an 'intro-movie' or varied gameplay - but I hope when this become available, EA will release Superman Returns II and beef up the functionality alot. A multiplayer option would have been nice too. Imagine how much fun you could have had between Bizarro and Supes on 2 player? Overall for a bit of fun - its pretty good - but if you were (like me) looking forward to the ultimate Superman experience - its going to disappont - sorry.
