Our favorite superhero must save his friends one more time !

 
Look in the sky, it's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's Superman! Thanks to the Titus development team and the publisher, Nintendo, our favorite superhero is back in a new adventure for N64. This time, the friends of Clark Kent, alias Superman, Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen have been kidnapped by the cruel Lex Luthor who has created a virtual version of Metropolis . Superman must, one more time, save his friends from the hands of this villain who has only one thing in his twisted mind : destroy the superhero.

Superman is back after some years of absence and he's got more than one trick in his bag. First, you can fly whenever you want in this virtual world. After, 3 super powers are offer to you : the first one is that you can breath cool air to freeze your enemy or to protect your friend. Then, you have the heat vision that let you also destroy your opponents. Finally, you can see through wall with your X-ray vision. Superman will need all those powers to finish the 8 different world where he must go. Besides, you must be in superman difficulty (difficult) to be able to see the end of the game. The multiplayer mode let you play with 2 to 4 players though you can't take Superman in this mode. You can also change the language of the game (French, English or Spanish)

Superman at the rescue

I want to get away.. I want to fly away..

The graphics of this game are not very impressive. In addition. there is a constant and dense fog so you can't see very far ahead. The character is very difficult to control and this becomes quickly frustrating. The difficulty of the game is a little too high, especially in the superman mode. There is not a big variety of weapons and of movements neither in the one player mode nor in the multiplayer mode. The story is a little simple and it does not bring something new in the superman series.

The game offers two multiplayer modes: the race mode and the fight mode. Those 2 different modes will amuse you and your friends for a long time with just the 4 levels. The Superman's powers are very original, and they can be used in many different ways and situations. The lovers of this hero will like this game which has all the characters of the series. You will also love this game if you like to fly in videogames because you can do this when you want it.

Finally, this game is especially designed for those who like multiplayer mode, who love superman and who like to fly. In spite of difficult control, you will amuse yourself alone or with your friends.
