Review by Dave 008 Bond
"This disgraces the Nintendo name."
Introduction
Look up in the sky! Its a bird! Its a plane! No, its that awful game called Superman! The game that disgraced the name of Nintendo. This game should be in the Guiness Book of World records for ''Worst game for N64.''
Graphics 3/10
The charactors look deformed. Parts of the charactors are completely missing, (The eyes and mouth. There is also a huge amount of fog which prevents The Man of Steel of seeing more than five meters away.
Story 2/10
Lex Luger captures your friends and he puts them in a virtual Metropolis and you, as Superman must save them. Do you think you will be on the edge of your seat, getting shocked as a plot twist occurs? I dont think so.
Sound 3/10
This is just an undescribeable amount of garbage. The music is very annoying, making you want to shoot the
cartridge with a shotgun. The sound effects are identical. It is almost worse than NES sound effects.
Gameplay 1/10
The programmers probably did not care about the gameplay. It is slow and boring. Sometimes when you have to deafeat enemies Superman punches them but 30 seconds later they die. Also there is a glitch where you go halfway underground and no enemies can see you. This is more fun than the game it self, as it is insane fun to beat up people that can not see you!
Controls 3/10
One word says it all: Unresponsive. Superman does not fly faster than a speeding bullet, enemies can shoot him several times while he flys away.
Replay Value 2/10
The adventure mode just is not any fun. There is a multiplayer but it is a poor imitation of Star Foxes multiplayer.
Challenge 7/10
The adventure mode is kind of easy, not that you would want to beat it anyway.
Buy Or Rent?
Dont even rent this game to laugh at this horribly game.Only buy it if someone gives you money to take it and then hide it behind your least favorite movie.
Overall 2/10
Very, very bad. Every thing about this ''game'' is bad so whatever you do, dont play this terrible game unless someone gives you money to take it.
