Game's looking good, reminds me of Crackdown which is a huge plus!

[Apossum]

I predict 5s and 6s

[mr ryles]

doesn't seem too interesting to me. looks like "fly here blow this up and fly over here and destroy more stuff" and not much more in between.

The pluses seem to be that the world is humongous.

[JohnnyFoxDarko]

The graphics look pretty awesome.
Looks like a rent.

[deathweasel]

Graphics look great, but the game itself looks horribly, terribly, incredibly boring.

"Um, if you like action games.. if you like, you know, being one man versus a million people, you're gonna like playing as Iron Man!"

He sounds very confident!

[defiance_17]

He's so excited...

[RiCeBo1]

I predict 5s and 6s
I call shit

[CouRageouS]

The camera seems like it moved too slow. And Iron Man seemed really stiff.

Pretty much what I was thinking.

[Bloodbooger]

If a game like Spider-Man 2 can come out, I still have hope. That being said, his movement seems a bit stiff and slow.

[LinkinPrime]

New gameplay trailer. I'm still optimistic about this one, looks good.

[Zurezo]

It does look good, but still unsure how well its gonna play.

[strdr4]

It's almost like Superman in disguise.

[Mrcapcom]

This game will suck if it doesnt have the vital thing that everyone loves about iron man:
PROTON CANNON!!!

[Masterkyo]

3D version always suck. I'll look forward on DS version.

[BLUEMANRULE]

The photo-realistic environments now look similar to Ace Combat 6. I'm really excited about the flying section of the game. i'm interested in seeing the other sections of gameplay though.

[LinkinPrime]

Achievement list is up:

[Ragekod]

I learned my lesson from the Spiderman 3, I'm going to have to wait for the price to drop on this.

[Grecco]

Achievments kinda suck

[ighosty]

Rent, just like almost every comic book game

[LinkinPrime]

Demo tomorrow:

[Dyson]

Looks alright but games released with the restraint having to tie into the movie gives me pause, probably gonna suck

[Mrcapcom]

nobody played the demo yet?

[ananag112]

Demo is not up yet :(

[Mrcapcom]

awww really that sucks

[Superstar]

Demo is up now. I just started downloading it.

[LinkinPrime]

Sweet...I have it pre-ordered at Amazon since they had a price mistake of 49.99...this will make me decide whether I keep it or cancel it.

Do you happen to know what the xbox live update was for? I'm assuming this is why Microsoft told me yesterday they were updating their servers when I was trying to reserve a coffin (I did the towel trick and its working this morning).

Nothing major yet:
A few minutes ago, the team released a system update for the Xbox 360 over Xbox LIVE. Sometime over the next few hours when you sign in to Xbox LIVE you’ll recieve a prompt to accept this mandatory update. This update contains code to ‘prepare for future growth of the service.’ There are no other changes or enhancements in this update…in other words no new features. The next obvious question you’ll have is about the Spring update. At this point we have nothing to announce, and the moment there is information to share I will do so.

[ananag112]

Since I downloaded the update this morning, my system loads up faster.

Also, thanks for the update on the Iron Man demo. I am downloading it now and am at 90% :).

[Superstar]

Nothing major yet:


Thanks for the information, and I am sorry for getting off topic. In an attempt to somewhat put this back on topic.. my demo is downloading very slowly. 55% :(

Edit: My demo finished and I played through it. The graphics looked nice but I really disliked the controls. It felt very weird to me. Maybe it's just me, though. I am interested to hear others impressions of the demo.

Explain more about the controls please. I m still at work so I have about 3 hours till I can play the demo. Other than the controls what else is good about the demo?

Flying around just felt clunky to me. I don't know how to explain it. The demo is pretty much what you'd expect from an Iron Man game. A lot of flying, shooting, punching/destroying things. The mission in the demo has you go to different bases to destroy things. You pretty much fly around, go to base 1, destroy, base 2, destroy, ect.

[espy605]

Hulk: Ultimate Destruction = Best Superhero Game ever.

[ananag112]

Yeah, the controls get some getting used to. The controls seem really loose. The on ground combat seems really lame, but the flying effects are sort of cool. Blowing up stuff and ripping stuff in half is not half as satisfying as it should be. I think it would make a good rental.

[looploop]

ya, if they had married the ground combat of ultimate destruction to the long range fire and flight mechanics of this it would've been quite great.

[drbutchevil]

Disappointing to say the least. Hopefully the movie is better though.

[Tha Xecutioner]

Shit sucks. The flying is weak, the mission is stale, and the graphics are not that impressive - it's just plain boring.

[anomynous]

Demo is garbage

[paz9x]

wow, that was bad. im flying and shooting and the screen changes to me being prompted to press b so i can rip a mounted cannon off......solid.

demo is bad, superman returns feels very polished in comparison. absolutely no chance i even rent this.

[DomLando]

The demo was so disappointing. This could have been so much more.

[dwhelan]

I don't know the jury is still out on this game, but I will tell you I am disappointed with the demo.

Why, in a demo, do you only allow one upgrade credit? how come the first splash screen I saw with the controls, was after my first ten minute run? The unibeam is powerful, but atleast with the energy shield armor layout, it felt like weak repulsors and little to no strength amplification. You have a fly button, and a hover button, but no jump. The hover button is essential a vertical take off, and fly is your horizontal travel, but a simple fence takes longer to get over and land them if I could punch through it (which you can't) I have to say, not feeling to super in this superhero demo.

I can only hope that, like Burnout Paradise, a not so stellar demo, leads to a great game. Even with my rabid fandom for the golden avenger, I doubt I will buy this day one. (Unless the movie is awesome, which is how the first spiderman game got me)

[zengonzo]

It's just not very interesting to play. I don't feel like the controls offer any actual strategy. Evading fire is pointless, you end up just hovering and shooting repeatedly. There's multiple alternative shooting modes, and very little else to do.

Getting up close and personal doesn't offer anything more impressive.

[a_bleak_tomorrow]

I think its pretty good. Not worth 60 bucks but when it gets in the 30 dollar range ill pick it up. I like the controls. Its pretty awesome when your flying shooting at a tower ground pound to destroy the stark weaponry then take off flying straight at a tank hit the melee button and rip the top off. graphics are pretty considering how huge the land is. i wanna see some super villian fighting though.

[ighosty]

Played a lot faster then I thought it would, but besides that it was what I was expecting from the previews I have seen. Would rent it when I get gamefly again.

[CouRageouS]

I thought it was pretty bad but I can see some potential. If they have a better control option it'll improve greatly. It needs to handle the flight similar to Superman Return's controls. That would take it up a notch at least.

[zengonzo]

None of that happened as fluidly for me as you described it. It all felt awkward and crunchy ..

[Chibi_Kaji]

It's not horrible but it isn't that good either. If anything I'll rent the game when I get the chance.

[SpazX]

Yeah I don't think it's that incredibly bad, but it's not too great either.

[rodeojones903]

I think this is one of those cases where putting out a demo will actually hurt sales. I was expecting more.

In favor of perspective, lackluster gameplay is what will be hurting sales. The demo is just exposing that flaw.

[relicbane]

going to check this out when I get back home to my 360 :D

[Littlefields]

QFT. I thought we would be able to fight the tank, but ended up leading me to the main menu after the cutscene.

Yeah, I was disappointed when they didn't let me fight the tank. I hate when Demo do things like that...

[muzzrecon]

Iron man Demo Gameplay footage (complete play-through) (http://www.veoh.com/videos/v7013359ggKNZYtH)


I personally played through it a couple times and it wasn't until the second or third i realized i could upgrade the armor, let alone do the helicopter and tank grabs.

Still it looks like it's worth a rent if anything.

I sure hope the movie rocks though!

[coolsteel]

Controls were awkward, didn't like how flying felt at all. Surprisingly prefer the Superman 360 method. Also targeting wasn't so hot either, needs more work.

[Littlefields]

I think some of us were expecting a good movie game for once. (At least I was.) What were we thinking?

Spiderman ruined us

[jman619]

If you have a sliver membership how long is it until you can download the newer demos?

[SpazX]

That video actually makes me want to play it again.

[JDUB X]

I find the mechanic of holding down the left trigger slightly to hover in one spot a little hard to do in the heat of battle.

This has me kind of worried about GTA IV, as the lock-on targeting system is the same way

[Mrcapcom]

Ummm where are the gamer pics? I have the game whats the rule of thumb for games that just give you gamerpics? And I havent found anything but the demo on XBLM. Love the game btw8-)

[Mrcapcom]

On Topic please

[Roufuss]

To the OP, are you sure there is no gamer pics? I could have sworn they had some for the movie that were free.

I never saw any gamer pics for anything for free believe me I would of snatched it up and if they had them and I missed them I really feel bad now lol :bomb::bomb:

First they take my MUA Gamerpics away (which had ironman in it) and now they take away possible free gamerpics? WTH

**Mindles Zombie** Ironman Gamer Pics :drool::drool::drool::drool:

[Dunvane]

Wait, why'd they take away the MUA gamer pics?

I'm a big Iron Man fan as well.

I dunno i tried googling it one day adn it seems to be on everyones mind. I even saw posts on the offical xbox.com forums just seems nobody gives a str8 answer. And what really grinds my gears :bomb: is that if u go to xbox.com and look through the gamerpics online you will see the MUA gamerpics :hot:

[PhoenixT]

so how much improved from the demo is the actual game? The demo stage looked very much like the Transformers game which I didn't care for to much :/.

Well first off I loved the demo it was pretty good. More levels and such and more upgrades. Controls were alil more tighter than the demo. Usually when I buy games I try to ask myself if I would of been satifyed paying 60 for it and I think I would have, ill play it at least 3 times 1 for fun 2 for achivemetns 3 to beat on hard. I would give it a 8 out of 10

I havent beat the game yet or anything so that score might change. Would of been nice if they gave him some ridicolous weapons like the proton cannon or something but over all its Iron Man and great Ironman feel.

[PhoenixT]

*nod* I need to try the demo again after some time away from it . I liked my runthrough but wasn't convinced I liked it 60 dollars worth if you get my meaning.

[Mrcapcom]

Yea I see what you mean. Well gamefly it if you want personally I see myself playing it more than the 60 dollars worth.

[Mrcapcom]

Agreed.

Also, I didn't like the demo. The controls were pretty troublesome, which turned me off from liking it.

[Mrcapcom]

Titanium Man, Iron Monger, Like 2 other bosses can't remember there names
