🕹️ New release: Lunar Lander Beyond

The Death and Return of Superman

Moby ID: 7384

Genesis version

Better than it had a right to be . . .

The Good
This game follows the storyline found in the DC comics of the same name fairly well. You get a chance to play characters you will probably never get a chance to play again (Superboy, Steel, the Cyborg and the Eradicator). From a graphics perspective, the scenery changes notably enough to leave the player wanting to see what happens next. Smooth gameplay and nice tight controls kept me playing this one to the finish.

The Bad
When all is said and done, this is a standard beat-em-up with a handful of different enemy designs. It doesn't make much difference what character you are, and that's some wasted potential.

The Bottom Line
You've seen it all before, but it was one of the better Superman titles.
