Now, add in all those simplistic goals mentioned earlier to this mix, and you've got an incredibly tedious experience in front of you. The controls are so unresponsive that you'll assume you've pushed the wrong button and begin bashing on all of them for some sort of attention, and the perspective routinely manages to vex you. Still, nothing sounds too offensive yet, right? It's the execution of all these elements that absolutely kills the game. Except for flying, to use your super powers you must acquire power-ups, such as heat vision, super breath, and super speed - all of which run out eventually. Meanwhile, the mission objectives require you to fly though hoops that Lex Luthor has inexplicably left suspended in the air, save innocents from harm, and toss objects about. The 3D adventure elements include collecting keys to open doors, beating up enemies, and pushing buttons in the proper order shortly after receiving instructions as to which order to push them. The gameplay alternates between standard 3D adventure fare and timed mission objectives. Superman, however, isn't one of them, and the game that follows is one of the weakest ever, even in the dubious category known as "licensed games." Many titles have provided quality gameplay with only a paper-thin story supporting them.
Sure, it's pretty slim on premise, but that in and of itself isn't a bad thing. Also populating this realm are the villains Braniac, Darkseid, Bizarro, Metallo, several other bad folks from the animated series, and an endless array of shadowy drone characters. Lex Luthor has trapped Superman's friends Lois, Professor Hamilton, and Jimmy Olsen in a "virtual world," and you, as Superman, must enter it to rescue them. But never in the course of all those years has such a threat appeared to dog his name and reputation as much as Titus' Superman game for the N64. Heck, back in the old days, he used to kick the bucket about every other issue.
Since his creation back in 1938, the Man of Steel has faced such challenges as Richard Pryor, the Anti-Monitor, marriage, the reworking of his origin, and even death.
