A good rental, Iron Man will not get a medal for it's mettle, but it's a pretty heroic effort nonetheless.

For those players who associate punch and kick fests with gaming of past (and want something a bit more cutting edge), a title like Tobal No.1 is a far better choice. But players who really miss the days of Contra and Final Fight, or who love Iron Man or X-O Manowar, have reason enough to check out this game.

Even as a retro romp, Iron Man / X-O Manowar in Heavy Metal fails miserably. It's more likely to give you a cardiac arrest when you realise you've just spent £45 on the effer!

So you walk (running is a double-tap pain in the ass) left or right, shoot dumb spider aliens, and occasionally fight bosses. It's incredibly mind-numbing, but not in a fun, Valium-kind of way. It's just boring. The control is as sluggish as it gets, and the graphics, while decent enough for a 2D side-scroller, just aren't up to 32-bit standards. In short, Iron Man/X-O Manowar in Heavy Metal (whew!) is no fun, no matter how long it takes you to say the name.
