The latest instalment in Superman-themed games, Superman Returns faces a bit of an uphill battle, despite all the hype surrounding the new movie of the same name. For some, the movie-licensed aspect will be a turn-off; others will have been put off by the many less-than-satisfying Superman games released on various platforms over the past 25-plus years.
Those who are willing to give their favourite superhero another go, however, should be rewarded for their patience with the upcoming release from Tiburon Studios and Electronic Arts. Superman Returns puts you straight in the boots of Superman himself, in the middle of a huge open-world Metropolis.
The game does follow the same general path as the film, however EA promises that this will be blended with over 60 years of comic book history. As testament to this, Superman Returns introduces several super villains who have never made it to the silver screen, and allows gamers to play as one of nine different versions of Superman.
