Superman test on iPhone, game of the week according to the iTunes Store… Our opinion!

Chillingo +
Warner + DC Comics =SupermanOn iPhone and iPad (on the app
Store
A version iPhone
and iPad). The meeting of the editor of Cut The Rope or
Betlly with the red super hero over the blue tights
was surprising on paper and we were curious to test the beast.
Especially than barely released on the App Store, here she is already propelled over
iTunes as “game of the week”. Wow, downright. Cow, Chillingo
So still outdated? And above all, the curse of video games
Über-Pourris around Superman and valid for 30 years will she finally be
Ready? In short, is Superman a good game on iOS? We give you a
Index: the answer is the opposite of “yes”. If you are still in the
fog We spread our demonstration in the following:

Hell is paved with good intentions and superman version iOS is everything
as much. On the program: a rather successful comic book style narration and a
Angry Birds level system where missions must be fulfilled in
each. Add to this a rather pleasant handling of the character,
walking in the street (yes to the singular) of Metropolis, taking off without problem
even in space, and turning perfectly. Another button allows you to launch
The deadly laser coming out of the eyes of Clark, which replaces a breath
iced when you have to turn fires.

It looks nice like that but we are disillusioned very quickly. In addition to the relative ugliness
of the game artistically referring to the less good games atari ST of the beginning of
90s, Superman iOS paid the luxury of being very soft in its rhythm,
Boring in less than five minutes and imprecise in its handling of shots.
It will not take three levels to start to be tired of “jostling”
(!) Enemies, extinguish fires, type on cars or
Missiles, or destroy kinds of flying balls in the air. We will be fine
persevere, stop planes, giant robots, and other various enemies (it
must be conceded), the same observation constantly comes back to mind: there is
So much more fun games on iPhone or iPad, so why waste your time
With that one?

• Superman is available on the App Store
  a version iPhone (0.79 €)and in
  version iPad (2.39€).

We love:

• The character's flight handling, nice.
• The concept of waves of enemies.
• The narrative in comic book.

  We like it less:

• Ultra repetitive.
• Very quickly boring (to stay polite).
• Very ugly.
• Super Nazes music.
• Handling of approximate shots and in the very annoying final.
• No VF.
• No universal app: you have to get your hands on the wallet for
  the iPad version ..
• “Game of the week” according to the App Store France? It is a
  joke ?
