Iron Man Demo Impressions
It has been a while since there was a demo on the Xbox Live Marketplace that I really cared to try. Normally games based on movies are not ones I’d bother checking out, but I’m a fan of the Iron Man comics and the new movie looks pretty good so I gave the demo a shot. Maybe it was intended to be that way sine it is a demo, but it seemed pretty easy to me. Since you pretty much auto lock-on to targets you only miss if you are to far away to get a lock. Still, I had fun flying around shooting stuff and punching things to blow them up.
The one aspect of the game that has me really intrigued is the options to upgrade your suit. The demo only gives you two upgrade options, but it looks like there will be a lot of available upgrades in the full game so you can really customer Iron Man’s abilities to the situation. Additionally, you can reroute power to different parts of the suit so that if you want to fly faster or have more fire power for a while you can.
The entire demo pretty much comes down to killing everyone in the area and blowing up some weapons. I’m curious if the whole game is like that or if other levels will have different objectives. Guess I’ll have to try and find some game play videos after it release and see.
This one falls into my “I’m renting this to play something that doesn’t require thinking much” category, but still it was fun enough to rent at some point.
I'm an tech fan and avid gamer. Looking to have some fun and try new gadgets.
