With few exceptions, games based on films are pretty terrible. Games based on movies based on comic books, well those are hit and miss. Imagine our shock and surprise when when it looks like both the Iron Man game from Sega and the film on which it's based actually look good. Case in point, the Iron Man trailer embedded above. We've got flying, blasting, and other assorted bits of awesomeness. For instance, how about catching a missile and throwing it back? That not ringing your bell? Perhaps you'd prefer ripping open a tank like it was a can of Pringles. There, that's better isn't it? We'll be keeping our eyes on this one, assuming GTAIV doesn't steal our attention.
it LOOKS good but my instincts tell me it'll be all of the stuff here in the trailer, but repeated to death. Fly around and shoot stuff, then fly around another area and shoot stuff again.That move with the fighter jet will probably be something like "Get close, hit A button, watch the animation, and then find another jet and do it again."
This looks good to you? Really? There's nothing about this that looks good to me at all. Dated, ugly, boring, badly animated. Believe me, I want to be wrong, but I don't think I am.
I agree with 'zombieskin'. That looks like a cheapo film tie in with no depth or skill involved. Transformers was another one of these, although the film was equally bad if not worse. And King Kong, well, I got 1000G from it - but it REALLY sucked.
Rhemelious, you're a better man than I then... I couldn't even see the gameplay through the cameraman's epileptic seizures... I hope the poor kid's okay.
I'm hoping this game will be decent personally... but being a movie tie-in... i'm not hoping too hard.
Considering its Industrial Light and Magic who is making the model for the game (I think I am right.. if not, feel free to correct me) there's no doubt its going to look good.
Though as we all know, the difference of looking good compared to being good is huge ;)
lol, yea it was a ride and everytime ironman moved, the ride would move. I was actually really steady with the camera, the ride made me move haha, but owell

It looks good, but the cynic in me says it might not BE good. I do so hope I'm wrong, but I'll be kind of surprised if I am.

any game that relies on flying a whole bunch will fail.

when I heard about Iron Man, the whole time I was thinking "Really? Why?"... the trailer looks good.
if you put black sabbath (even a remix), trailers will always kick ass! still looks like it's worth a rental atleast!

I usually avoid Robert Downey Jr. movies like the plague, but even the trailer for the movie looks good.
And Iron Man was THE character to use to finish one level of MUA, so all things Iron Man are just wonderful lately...

Hmmm... well I was *highly* skeptical - but actually - solely based on that trailer it does look rather promising.
