Superman Returns (X-Box 360) Review 

I think Metallo could have been made more interesting of a boss in the sense his Kryptonite Aura would give you a health bar, therefore making his fight slightly harder.

Poor Superman, cursed to seemingly never get a decent video game except his appearances in the Lego games. Those games did him some justice!

I don't think "Superman Returns" was a good film, but can people please stop calling Superman in that film a "deadbeat dad" because I swear people like this don't actually know what a deadbeat actually is. Deadbeat parents are parents who are aware that they have a child, but chose not to take part in the childs life. Considering that.....you know Superman didn't even know he had a child, the whole "deadbeat dad" label this version of Superman gets labelled as kind of falls apart.

Ok that thumbnail with Superman shooting his laser at the statue's crotch was GENIUS! Well played Jadow

A XXXX health bar is something i've said works perfect for the feel of a superman game, you are invincible. Metropolis/earth is not, take the hits, be the shield.

As Michael "Rage Quit" Jones once said about this game YEARS ago: "It's a free-roam game where there's not much to do, and you go fight people... And you throw cars at people." Also, it can't be an old 7th gen console game without ridiculous amounts of nearly unmarked collectables. It worked for Crackdown!

This is how I imagine this game went down: "Awesome we made a nice big map, got the characters all modeled, and the details are almost all there! How long do we have for the gameplay, mission variety, story department and everything else?" "200" "200 what?" "199...198...197..." Thus this game was born. Great review!

It’s been more than 15 years since Superman had a solo video game based on him and I think it’s about time we get a new one

2:39 I love this part where Superman accidentally slams into this civilian! Her reaction is so funny!

15:25 Ha! They named a combo move after the game’s production! That’s cute.

8:05 If Hulk Ultimate Destruction and Prototype had Superman Returns city heath bar; Hulk and Alex Mercer would instantly loose even though the game encouraged you to go all out, destroy stuff and kill stupid NPCs

Kicking off the new year with superman. I knew you would talk about this one day

Gotta love that they made most of the cars green so you could re-create the Original Action Comics cover.

Also, it's good to see you review a Superman game almost ten years after Superman 64.

Your Speed run imitation is HILARIOUS 😂

I do hope Rocksteady does their own take on a Superman game. If they could do it for Batman, why not Superman?

Been looking for a review for this game, no one has anything past a couple minutes of review. This was much needed

When I was much younger, and when Movie Gallery still existed, I actually rented this game from there. For reasons I don't remember, I could never beat the combat tutorial. Seeing this review, I dodged a bullet.

I actually loved this game so much. I really felt like Superman flying around trying to keep people safe.

There was also a time when we thought no one would ever make a good Batman game either. Superman shouldn’t be that hard for a major studio.

I use the lift off frequently actually. It's good for taking off quickly when you need to get to the other side of the city in a hurry.

Ok you know what I havent even watched the video yet... but dude has an origional Xbox 360 that isn't bricked... wow!

Linkara put it best when he said that Lex Luthor's plan in this movie would have gotten him a bullet to the head if he actually succeeded as opposed to getting filthy, stinking rich. Also, of all the things they could have done for the game's finale, ripping off a mission from Superman 64? Really? You know with all those jabs at Snyder's Superman, I am seriously anticipating your review of the Snyder Cut.

Based on the intro, I’m guessing this link will help. It’s a reference list for backwards compatibility on Xbox 360. It’s a real shame that we have to use this since ideally EVERY Xbox game should be backwards compatible, but what can you do amirite? Great video man, keep it up! 👍 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Xbox_games_compatible_with_Xbox_360

For some reason, my memory of this game was helping my friend with the blimp section 😆

Now that you have a Xbox 360 since your Sonic 2006 video, DLJ, I got a couple of questions to ask; will you be able to play Arkham Asylum/City on the consoles they're meant to be played? Or did you already have the Return to Arkham bundle for PS4 much like how you got PS4 version of Deadpool prior to getting your 360? I'm asking this if you can at some point review Arkham Asylum properly. Mainly 'cause I remember your old videos regarding your frustrations with the PC versions of Asylum and City.

I had this game on ps2 years ago, the legit only difference was that their were no bizzaro missions, tbh the gameplays alot alike but i think only the maps smaller. I had an xbox 360 growing up and for some reason you couldnt buy it on the market place and i could only play the 360 demo

Another awesome review to watch

I remember playing the PS2 version of this game forever ago. Wasn't the best, and I quit pretty early. Did have fun going on a rampage, though. Great to see you review it!

Also I had a lot of fun with the combos, I never had trouble with that

That's my official headcannon now. Jack Snyder's Superman was really Bizarro the whole time.

The city hp bar is pretty clever!

I used to play the demo on my 360 frequency. Years later I only played a little bit of the PS2 version because I quickly got bored.

This game was good enough to keep 7 year old me occupied for a few hours

Oh Christ. You have a temperamental version of the console. Well just a warning: if for what ever reason you replace it and decide to get a slim model or the E series, make damn well sure that the HDD is an official Microsoft brand or else you lose all backwards compatibility! Even if you use a data transfer kit (like I did) you still lose out. I know someone out there will say "just hook up the hard drive to a computer and install the necessary files" but this shouldn't be a problem in the first place.

Force Unleashed 1+2 but on the 360 reviews? They do actually contain some big differences aside from graphics

but is this the best superman game? or just one of the best by technicality?

I like this game still 🤷‍♂️

The way to defeat Riot easily is this...Use UPGRADED-freeze breath then, with lock on mode activated, use ordinary heat vision to take out Riot and his clones very quickly.

Have anyone having trouble trying to save the game since i got error message claim cannont be saved on another game profile?

Had me dying. I needed this.

This isn't the Zack Snyder's Justice League video

How would you rank these Superman games? Here is what I think you'll rank them based on your videos. 1. Superman: Shadow of Apokolips 2. Superman Returns 3. Superman (Game boy) 4. Superman 64

Thanks for the review. I hear good and bad things about the Superman Returns videogame

At least flash has a guideline to work with.

you're the only person i know to review this game cool. now you have to finish off superman and review the game on Xbox hope you do it.

Heres a better idea fighting leg luthor in his comic power suit as the kryptonite island floats above the city raining down kryptonite. Or hell create a new area like the mongel area from the start but this time it takes place on the kryptonite island while lex in his power suit and superman have an epic final fight

what Gameboy music did u use in the opening? 0:01

Hey, Jadow, there actually WAS a game dedicated to The Flash. I played it. It was released in Europe for the Sega Master System, and it played like a traditional 2D Sonic platformer. The controls and story were fine, but the levels weren't built around the Flash's speed, making the game very frustrating.

I consider Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is what a Superman video game should look like.

If only you were able to play Superman: The Man of Steel for Original Xbox and see how much that one sucks, but I don't think it's backwards compatible

Can anyone see the major graphical errors at 15:25? Is that a hardware issue, or the game code itself suffering from a glitch?

actually, i think mongels alien monsters are Parademons, which makes me think he was supposed to be Darkseid, but i dunnow

Why they haven't gotten Rocksteady to make a Superman game I don't know.

Great Review man!. I thought yo wouldnt be able to get a Copu of This game. Is there any chance that you Could get spiderman 3 for the Xbox and Review it? it would be really great to Watch a Review from you about that game

here's a recommendation. the 360 version of spiderman 3 or transformers revenge of the fallen

Happy new year jadow.

No one realizes that the key to a flash game isn't to make flash ridiculously fast, you just slow everything else down and slightly increase flashes speed

whats that music at the start i know it but cant place it

please answer what music is that from 0:02

oh poor Clark, he just can't catch a break in video game world, if he hasn't the other JL members alongside him let's see if Wonder Woman will fare better

9:50 "And the game's civilians are friggin' morons, man." Look at the name from the lower right. 19:13 "Suicide Slum" It seems the people in the city are packed with secret self-destructive tendencies...

What's next any of the Lego games

Missed ya fam ^^

So you’re having disc reading problems with your 360 and an Xbox game which doesn’t work on it? That’s a shame. Speaking of the Xbox, that has an exclusive Superman game, subtitled The Man of Steel. Is that up for a future video?

Superman Returns is an underrated film. It’s better then the first 2 Superman movies idc what people say it was more accurate to the comics then the original films in that franchise. Superman returns conclude the franchise perfectly.

Superman throwing a car at someone 🤣

You should check out Superman on the original xbox. Does that sound like a worthy challenge?

I loved this game

Honestly the jabs at Man of Steel makes me wish you review the movie one of these days

So what you're saying is the mission setup took the fun Activity/distraction system from the first two Saints Row games and fubernucked it beyond belief. Great. I'm starting to think game designers are a bigger threat to the Man of Steel than any of his other baddies could ever hope to be

Psst, Jadow, buy an Xbone, it’s retrocompatible with like 99% of the 360 library and they’re dirt cheap now.

Is it bad that I actually like this game?

Actually, a Flash game could have Pacman controls/view for navigation and save a lot of rendering.

I just want to point out the very slim chances of Krypton's debris landing on our planet.

Still waiting on that Minecraft: Story Mode review. :) Also, have you seen the Snyder Cut yet?

Actually using the and X and Y button is common in literally majority of Xbox fighting games. So superman doing it made sense

Game has neat ideas but it felt rushed

Superman babysits Metropolis. Who thought this would be a good game?

That thumbnail 😭😭😭

Since you have Xbox360 you finally play the real version of transformers war for cybertron

Hilarious review

you forgot to mention that one side mission/side game where you can actually play as bizarro and your objective is to destroy the city.

Great review LMFAO

Jadow seems to have an obsession with Zack Snyder. Why doesn’t he focus onto Ang Lee’s Hulk? It’s a movie that sucks but there’s some people that are mustering some arguments to defend it

18:05 Don’t worry, the Petro-Dollar Countries would buy that up in droves. Better than building the islands themselves. (For Context, search the UAE)

Thanks for the video, but less screaming could be better option.

So sorry to burst your realization bubble, but THERE WAS AN ATTEMPT OF TRYING TO MAKE A FLASH game years ago DLJadow1. Dont believe me? Here is DYKG aka Did You Know Gaming video excellently done by Liam that demonstrates this concept, which looked cool: m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--fGs1QcUWsg.html So yes, there WAS going to be a development of that game along with a Justice League fighting game and many others, especially a SUPERMAN game done by Factor 5 as well, however, it did NOT get off the ground (and with Factor 5 closing shop due to their Superman game not getting greenlit, its a bit sad): m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qBeSUzmG43g.html

You can put cars down safely by pressing the B button. 😆

Sounds like Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2 and Spider-Man 3 XD

So early the video's in 480p

So why exactly is your 360 having problems running those other games, and are you still planning on reviewing them? I can’t wait to see your thoughts on Too Human, Rogue Warrior, and Bomberman Act Zero especially. :)

18:29 Porque para Zod la Tierra era mas parecida a Kriptón, y aprovechando la oportunidad de la señal de la nave de Kara se dirigieron allá. No como el Batman de Robert Pattinson, el mejor detective del mundo, que se tardó una hora de película en levantar el tapete para descifrar el plan del Riddler y dejar hundir Gotham. O Iron Man 3 que el Mandarin era un actor, o Madame Web donde salen las Spider Women en acción en las visiones de Cassie Webb.

What's sad is that this is the best Superman game we have and it still sucks.

What could have been.

Superman Returns was the only Superman movie I liked. It certainly does have problems, but I prefer its problems over all the others' problems. The original Christopher Reeves one is a somewhat close second, since I think the first half of the movie is perfectly fine, but when it starts getting into the conflict against Luthor, it goes downhill fast for me. Speaking as someone who has had to rely on his Xbox 360 to play certain Xbox games since I need to get my OG Xbox into a repair shop, trust me when I say that not all games run smoothly on it. The 360 uses emulation, not native backwards compatibility, and the quality greatly varies from game to game. The first two Spider-Man movie games run pretty well, but others are glitched into unplayability. Some are hilarious, like the Incredibles game putting a character's unwrapped texture file over city environments, others like Prince of Persia Sands of Time have slowdown so bad, they start desyncing the audio. Be a wary buyer when trying to play OG Xbox games on the 360. I wish it weren't so, but it is. I'm also concerned your 360 has a weak laser. Depending on how old that fat model is, it may be dying already, possibly leading to slower loading. Try using the Install feature to see if it installs a game onto the hard drive in a reasonable time. If not, you might be looking at something on its last legs. The discs might be too scratched (I don't know, I can't see the underside), but failing to read the disc is something I'd be concerned about.

lol this should be meme at 20:09

Bro the controls really aren't that difficult this seems like user error.

Man, it must suck to have all those 360 games and most of them not reading properly.

A Wonder Woman game will probably be just as bad, since much like Superman they would only use villains from the movies( in her case cheetah and Ares).
