Iron Man 3: The Official Game
Android Game Review

Here’s the thing, Gameloft is my favorite Game
Developer/Publisher for the mobile phone ever since 2004, when I first had a
Symbian 6630 Phone. Their graphics, games, and gameplay were unmatchable by any
other Developers out there. As of now, I still have a 6630 filled with tons of
Gameloft Games I play every now and then.
Ever since Symbian died, I have been distant
to the company as I do not play much video games on my phone. With the arrival
of my Galaxy Note 2, I had a gaming device on my hand, and, as with the Symbian
days, Gameloft took the stage once more, NOVA, The Amazing Spiderman, The Dark
Knight Rises, were some of the few that I played whole heartedly. The graphics
and gameplay were the cream of the crop. NOVA 3 was an amazing FPS and The
Amazing Spiderman was the best GTA like game on the Android. In short, I was a
Gameloft fan once more.

| Looks Exciting Right?? |
Now, one of the most highly anticipated movie
of the year, Iron Man 3, makes it way to your smartphones. So what is this
game? A Free-World game? An FPS? An RPG? There are tons of genres out there and
after seeing the movie, a good one by the way, one would definitely want that
Iron Man 3 Free-World Experience. Controlling Tony Stark sounds uber cool.

| TEMPLE RUN SHIT |
So with all the hype Iron Man 3 created,
Gameloft seems to take a big shit on all of us and released Iron Man 3 with a
genre so annoying, I bet no one in the world expected it. The Genre is a
mother-F****** runner. YES A RUNNER GAME. I’M NOT KIDDING; IRON MAN 3 THE
OFFICIAL GAME is a RUNNER. Like Temple Run, Temple Run 2, Pyramid Run, and like
all those games that many developers do over and over and over for the sake of
profit. And now they are combining that genre with one of the hottest movie
today and voila, you have the disappointing Iron Man themed Runner.
The Gameplay is simple, Iron Man flies around
California, and your objective is to evade the obstacles, kill the enemies by
swiping them, upgrade your armor and run again, even the Level-Up part, much
like Temple Run 2 is also present here. As great as the graphics maybe, and the
genre maybe successful, this game fails on a very high level. There are tons to
unlock and upgrade but playing the game itself is already boring, I highly
doubt anybody will whole-heartedly unlock everything to be unlocked in this
game. I would pick Temple Run 2 over this overpriced runner shit that became
expensive because of the Darn Iron Man 3 in its name. This is definitely not
worth the price.
Honestly, I was expecting an Amazing Spiderman
or The Dark Knight Rises like game, but nooooo, they had to make it a runner. This
is probably the worst Gameloft Game ever. Yeah I know there are tons of bad
Gameloft games out there but this is on a different level. They could have made
it a free world game, who wouldn’t want to play Tony Stark. I imagined it like
Tony Stark can call Mark 42 at will and you can fly through the city of
California, killing badies and completing objectives. Well, what’s done is done;
Iron Man 3 is an uninspired boringest runner game ever.
1.
Graphics (4/5)
Iron Man 3:
The Official Game has one of the best graphics to offer today. The various Iron
Man models, the vibrant city, airplanes randomly appearing, and AIM soldiers
looking like their cartoon/comic version is pretty nice to look at. Though this
great graphics may come at the price. This is a runner game so it is fast paced;
you will definitely lose yourself time after time as some obstacles tend to look
like part of the background.
2. Gameplay (1.5/5)
This is a runner game. Expect the
same level of gameplay like Temple Run but don’t expect it to be as exciting,
thrilling or FUN. I also want to point out, Tony Stark is a mean SOB who flies
up or down at his own free will, what you can only do is shoot lasers and move
left and right. YUP YOU CANT FLY UP OR DOWN.
3. Sound (2/5)
The sound could have been better; the
same loop is presented to you very annoying.
4. Replayability (3.5/5)
There are tons of Armors to unlock
and each has to be upgraded. There are also a lot of objectives; it has a
pretty high replay value as playing with a different armor with different
abilities maybe fun for about a run or two. Oh and yeah, you need to unlock the
preceding armors to get to the better ones. HOORAY!
CONCLUSION (2.75/5)
Hate me as much as you want. I will stick to my decision. Crappy
controls, confusing obstacles, and overall very unenjoyable, even Tony Stark
wouldn’t play this game. For those who will play this game and actually unlock
everything, I commend your amazing patience and dedication to Iron Man. All I want
to say is, Temple Run 2 is much much better and it’s free!
