To those moaning about the controls: You sound like a bunch of causual gamers. At least try to learn the controls.

If you like yourself a nice and short superhero game, Iron Man is for you!

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one here to enjoyed the demo. This is definitely a must buy for me, even though I'll be busy enough with GTA IV and MGO beta. Not a bad problem to have this time of the year, though.

See Stan Lee as a sweet old man just makes me want to bye the iron man game but I rather see the Movie.

@karasu is my homeboy: Yeah, I really understand that. But I guess that after 15 minutes or so, you don't really have to think about it. Like I said, people should really see this game as steering some kind of high-tech warplane, not moving some guy around.

@TheBard:
The problem at first, with the controls for me, was that I'm used to "going" with the left analog stick and aiming my character with the right analog stick.

In Iron Man, the right stick is solely the camera. So instinctively, myself and others, want to aim Iron Man with the right stick but you have to use the left. So it feels awkward for a while.

I, however, loved the demo. And am definitely buying the game.

Strange, I've played the demo several times over and I'd say the controls are pretty tight, once you get the hang out of it. But they are definately not wonky for me.

I rather like the style of the armor, too. When you put all your power on your thrusters, boost forward in flight mode and then hover, Iron Man fires his boosters to brake, then hold his altitude. Nice.

Sure, they are not 100% responsive, but I think it's by design. The armor is like a modern fighter plane, just wearable.

But I'll be playing GTA when this comes out, so maybe I'll but it used in a month or so.

well i'm definately looking forward to this game. but, frankly, the timing is off. it sure wont move a lot early on i think. I can find a few hours for the movie, breaking away from gta4... but lord :( who can find time for the game?

A solid renter, i'll presume, after a few weeks of gta4.

I thought the demo was fun enough.. for a demo. The game looks alright. I just didn't like how difficult it was to aim (SERIOUSLY need a lock on feature here), and the controls seemed kinda wonky. But otherwise, once you get the hang of it, its not bad at all. I was actually just starting to enjoy it, then it cut me off :/

BTW, Stan Lee FTW.

Shad0X — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 12:37:06 MDT

well, the demo was just horrible and assuming that they wont be fixing anything (and thers a lot to fix) I would have to say that this is yet just another bad movie game... :| at last the movie looks greate from the trailers.. cant wait to see it.. :)

but the game.. no ty, they had so much time to make this game and they do the same with it as most other developers who create those bad movie games... :(

well after playing the demo on both systems, this looks like it could be a pretty decent movie game...but I could be mistaken (sigh) *looks at Superman game*

And Jarvis sounded like a robot. In fact, I thought it was his armor's AI talking to him until he called it Jarvis.

The demo was rubbish. You soar around like a doofus with super sensitive controls, and sometimes you crash into the ground and fire BBs out of your hand at tanks.

Oh boy!

Shmoopy — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 11:41:02 MDT

I think the demo would've been better if we could do more than fly around and shoot stuff. A cutscene or the ability to swap some modifications on the suit would've made the demo much more interesting. I wanted to get this, but the demo really didn't make me excited about it. In fact, it convinced me that I don't want this game. We need demos that are more than just poor tutorial levels, I want to know how the game actually feels (reference MGS2 demo).

TaggarT6 — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 11:39:36 MDT

If I could describe the demo in one word, it would be "wonky". The controls, the gameplay, the voice overs,...it all felt wonky.

Cappy — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 11:35:02 MDT

I was left with a feeling of dread after playing the demo. The controls were extremely loose, the map was barren, and the AI was as basic as you can get. At the most, rent it.

@Dorphat:

I one hundred percent agree; the controls for that demo were so loose and bad.

Well, to be honest, the timing of this game is pretty bad. Then again, so's the movie. I mean, aren't most going to be playing some carjacking game this weekend?

Oh, and what's this "connectedness" thing I see on my activity page? Does that make me a cool kid?
