IRON MAN Demo on XBOX LIVE

 

 

 

I played the IRON MAN demo currently available on XBOX Live last night.

The game LOOKS beautiful. The weapons are pretty cool and the vocal interaction between Tony Stark and his computer guide Jarvis is well done. (Not sure if it’s actually Robert Downey Jr. but it’s a good enough impression if not . . . )

The problem . . . and it is a HUGE one, is flying.

The flying mechanics on this thing are terrible. You can go UP and you can go DOWN.  Flying FORWARD is a giant pain in the @$$ and seeing as you need to cover ALOT of ground in the demo and ostensibly the game, it should really be tweaked before release.

Flying was almost the ONLY thing the  EA Superman Returns game did right.  The development team on this should really re-evaluate the way ol’ shell head takes to the sky before it’s release . . .

Please SEGA – Don’t release an IRON MAN game unless he can FLY right.

Or maybe toss a few bus stops in the levels so he can travel more conveinently.
