GameCube version

Finally a game worthy of Superman! Great forerunner for the up and coming Superman Returns game coming out this fall !!!

The Good
I loved the overall game play and being able to control the man of steel in action,especially soaring through the air at super speed.The sound also certainly suited this game and this game was a great capture of the animated t.v. series into game form! The grafics were very good and colorful, especially the man of steel himself, who never looked better in a game.The main thing about this game that I liked was the overall feeling I got from playing it and I truly felt what it was like to be superman, the protector of the world! Awesome feeling and a great rush.

The Bad
The only thing that I did'nt like about this game was that it was'nt long enough. There should been at least a few more levels and a battle with one of the two main evil villains in the game Darkseid would of made it even more fun and challenging.Possibly a level where Superman had to save a plane from crashing!

The Bottom Line
I think this is a great game to for anyone who loves action adventure games and especially for huge Superman fans. This was the best Superman game that I have ever played by far, even better than Superman the Man of Steel for xbox which was a pretty good game.Great to see the vast improvement form the N64 Superman game though. That was the worst Superman game ever to be released. If you're A big superman fan than at least rent shadow of apokolips because it's the best portrayal of the man of steel yet and it's a great forerunner for the new Superman Returns game coming out this fall ! I can't wait to play it. Looks awesome !
