Players can interact with the suit in order to control Stark’s UniBeam, Missiles, Laser and other assorted weapons, all of which can be upgraded too. Iron Man plays in a very simple manner, with all action occurring on the top screen of the DS and the HUD and schematics of Stark’s iron suit on the bottom. Couple such lack of design flair with a horrid frame rate at even the best of times, and Iron Man is a disappointing title visually. Enemies lack any real variety or personality and environments within the game, although kind of faithful to their source material are equally as bland. This can be said because Iron Man’s enemies as well as Iron Man himself look like jagged pixelated deformations. The game itself is presented in a full three dimensional world, and really shows the DS’ weakness in regards to generating good looking three dimensional objects. The menu and navigation are bland and lack any real eye catching stimuli. Iron Man is less than impressive with it’s presentation. Although the storyline of the film is included in the game, the developers have taken several liberties with the storyline, though most of the material comes from already existing content in the Iron Man universe. Naturally, of course, Stark’s business partner opposes his decision and builds a suit for himself to stop him, creating a suitable rival for the player. Upon returning to the US, Stark upgrades and improves his suit into what we all know and love as Iron Man today, and makes it a life goal to destroy the instruments of death that his company has created. Rather than build the missile, however, Stark builds himself an iron suit equipped with primitive flame throwers, and escapes the country. During a well publicised business venture to Afghanistan for business, Stark is kidnapped by extremist militants and placed in solitary confinement, being forced to build a missile most probably for use against the United States. Although Iron Man is enjoyable for some short time, it is marred by several irritating design decisions.įollowing the storyline of the movie, Iron Man places players in the role of Tony Stark, a wealthy industrialist who is at the forefront of weapons development in the United States. With the very recent release of the Iron Man motion picture, Sega have gone ahead and put out a somewhat disappointing adaptation of the film for all conceivable systems, including Nintendo’s DS. Usually before or after the movie, we are treated with several different media tie-ins, including a video game adaptation. Meanwhile, it is important to note that players that getting the upgrades is completely optional, but they are something nice to have with.The events following or prefixing a release of a major blockbuster picture is of second nature to gamers.
