Superman

"Yes, this IS the worst game of all time"

After playing this game for a couple hours, you can only think of one word : Why?! Why was this game created?! Why did Titus think that they would even sell one single copy?! Why did the testers (if they had any, that is) not tell Titus that this game SUCKED?! We may never know the answers. What we do know, however, is that Superman is the biggest piece of human excrement to come out for any system, ever.

Graphics (0/10)
No, graphics don't even deserve a single point. I seriously doubt the graphics of this atrocity took more than 5 minutes to program (which is 5 minutes more than the time they were tested). A few--nay, many--Super Nintndo games have had clearer, more realistic graphics than Superman. Superman is just one big, unrecognizable polygon, while the enemies are just shadows. Yes, that's right: The enemies are just shadows. Titus obviously felt it not necessary to give them textures. Since this game was released, the only game to even come close to its graphical horror is NFL GameDay 2001 for PS2 (I have a review for that, too; read it if you want a laugh).

Sound (0/10)
No, sound doesn't deserve a point either. I don't know if it's the utter lack of music, or the random mumbling and laughing which are loosely labeled ''sound effects'' which hurt the game more. Either way, the sound has absolutely no good qualities.

Gameplay (1/10)
Good lord, I gave it a point! When I first played the game, I thought ''Wow, I'm Superman...or at least I think that block I'm controlling is Superman.'' That's where ''Gameplay'' earns its single point: The initial giddiness a player has when he realizes that he's controlling Superman. Of course, the feeling lasts for a good 10 seconds, until the player realizes that Superman is no longer the ''Man of steel,'' but the ''Man who flies through rings for no freakin reason!'' Yes, that's right: The gameplay is comprised of you flying through rings, and occasionally beating up shadow men. Tell me, all you Superman fanatics out there, during what episode did Superman EVER fly through rings just for the hell of it?! The gameplay is a travesty, and an insult to all who know Superman.

Controls (0/10)
This is the one area where I really wanted to give it a negative rating. I swear, if I wasn't morally and logically opposed to doing so, controls would have gotten a -1. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to the scheme, and when the player actually does figure out what the buttons do, the actions don't work. For example, when Superman tries to take off and fly gracefully through the air, he puts his hands up and......nothing happens. This happens... A LOT. The only thing worse than playing Superman, is controlling Superman.

Replay Value (0/10)
No value to begin with=No value EVER. Feel free to replay this all you want, just don't blame me for whatever damage it causes.

Rent or buy? (Neither, avoid at all costs)
There is no logical reason to even walk into a store which carries this game. Avoid it at all costs.
