Superman Preview
Infogrames is going to do what Titus couldn’t-make a good Superman game. Well, I’m sure we all know the Superman story. His home planet, Krypton, was blown up, and he was sent to Earth. He get’s a hang of his super powers, and meets Lois, who works at the newspaper company. Perhaps maybe we’ll see even a side-story, or a prequel (that would be cool.) Who knows?
Those of us, who have had a misfortune of playing what is perhaps the worst game created for the Nintendo 64, Superman 64. Thankfully, we should NOT expect a repeat of the tragedy that was Superman 64. Infogrames has signed a deal with DC Comics, as well as Warner Bros. This isn’t the first deal that Infogrames has signed on to market characters on the N64. Working together with DC Comics, we’re looking at beautiful character animations, awesome graphics and stunning effects, not to mention gameplay… Kerri Orders, VP of Infogrames, comments below.
“Infogrames, DC Comics and Warner Bros. Consumer Products will work together to make sure that every aspect of the Superman games captures the imagination of the gaming public.” “The exciting range of Superman’s powers, the richness of his supporting cast, his colorful rogues gallery and his entire universe give us incredible material to draw upon. We intend to use this material to create epic adventures for the Man of Steel that will leave gamers in awe.”
Let’s hope Infogrames can pull this Superman game together in time for the GameCube launch.
Final Score: 8.5
