Iron Man Demo Smashes on to Marketplace

Iron Man Demo Smashes on to Marketplace
Written Friday, April 18, 2008 by Neil Christie

Microsoft has done the unthinkable and added two game demos to the Xbox Live Marketplace in one day. In a move not seen for some time, earlier today a demo of Condemned 2: Bloodshot was added and this has been swiftly followed with the addition of a demo of Iron Man.

The 643MB trial version includes a sample of the game's content and promises the ability to customize the superhero's suit before indulging in some battles.

I'll DL it and try it out. I'm actually kinda looking forward to the movie. Movie/game releases are often bad, but at least now we can play it first before anyone buys.

I tried it out...It's not as bad as I expected it to be. The graphics are decent and it plays fairly well. I may give it a rental.

Iron Man is one of my favorite marvel heroes. I've been waiting for this movie since I heard about it coming out over a year ago.
Also just to add on to this article. There's a free episode of Voltron on the XBL marketplace as well today!

the demo is gay they need to stop making these kind of games BIG FUCKING DISAPPOINTMENT

No point buying this game at launch. Everyone will buy GTAIV, this will fall in price like a rock, and hit the bargain bins within 3 months.

Doesn't really matter how good the game is - against the competition it just doesn't stand a chance.

Friday, April 18, 2008 @ 09:23:52 PM

Meh. Already finished and loved Condemned 2. Iron Man looks like crap, and movie tie-ins always suck. Plus, I have a personal vendetta against genetically enhanced comic book heroes.

Comment #28 by Archlord
Friday, April 18, 2008 @ 09:24:11 PM

I Agree With Avenger It Doesnt Stand a Chance A Pity Really Because This Game looks Really Good

me want honey comb, iron man aint genetically enhanced, he's self built

Friday, April 18, 2008 @ 09:44:21 PM

Tony Stark only has the thing for his heart, and the rest is just a mechanized suit. No genetic altering on Iron Man. Demo was pretty good, I might get this game at launch or just wait a little for the price drop.

I'll probably buy this off of my friend after he's done with it. I always do that. Instead of them trading it in to gamestop for a miniscule amount of money, I buy it off of them for a few bucks more.

Not interested in Iron man game (it will be same as any other movie tie-in) but yeah, the movie looks good and yeah, the game will hit bargain bin in 3 months because GTA4 will coming out as the same time as this game.

Comment #36 by TristanValendro
Saturday, April 19, 2008 @ 12:13:15 AM

The demo wasn't the best but sure was enjoyable for me. GTA and Iron-Man is already paid off and I eagerly await both.

I've been waiting for an iron man demo I was hoping it would come out before the game comes out, cause regardless I'm getting it, but still I'm currently downloading it right now.

gotta download really looking forward to the movie but games made from movies arent usually good but common its IRONMAN!!!!!!!

Comment #39 by lostmotiv
Saturday, April 19, 2008 @ 01:18:52 AM

this is a definite rental, no question. go watch the movie then come home and play the game. it'll be a great iron man weekend.

Saturday, April 19, 2008 @ 03:16:22 AM

didn't love the demo. graphics were cool, didnt like controls...assuming more weapons but it was going to be a rental anyway, just not much of a rush now.

Comment #41 by Pointless Dan
Saturday, April 19, 2008 @ 06:59:35 AM

Games based on movies... what can I say? Apart from a few they are all totally rubbish and going by the demo Iron Man is going to be the same, a load of rubbish!

Comment #42 by PalmettoPanda
Saturday, April 19, 2008 @ 07:35:43 AM

I agree with Darthmushu about the controls. Hopefully there's still some time to tweak the flying before the game is launched (though I realize that's probably not the case). I will definitely be playing the full game at some point.

Game looks good film looks great but will be no competition for gta does anybody know if they are bringing out a gta demo on marketplace before it comes out because it is geting a bit late now

Games on nex gen systems r supposed to look good. It doesn't excuse bad gameplay and controls. There r so many crappy games that look great.

demo kind of lame work a rental tho :)

Comment #50 by kyosh1ro
Saturday, April 19, 2008 @ 08:23:17 PM

Wow I had a little bit of hope for this game because the achievements weren't terrible but it was just awful. Terrible flying mechanics, boring and repetitive gameplay..not even worth a rental in my book.

Letdown

Comment #52 by Fruhmann360
Saturday, April 19, 2008 @ 08:32:13 PM

UTTER FAILURE. just a demo, i know. but unless this game is an easy 1K that doesn't take more than a day of play, i don't think i'll be playing it. flight sucks, camera is up his ass, combat is basically just hovering in one spot and spamming projectiles.

i gave up trying to download it after the second hour of it barely moving past 30% i have a frickin awesome connection on my pc yet xbl is allways slow as shit, m$ need to sort that out.

other than that what ive read on here seems about right unfortunatly nobody would buy this even if it were the best game ever cz its out the same damn time as gta, im gonna pick it up over the summer during the games draught we allways get.

Sunday, April 20, 2008 @ 02:31:40 PM

didnt like it, bad controls, pretty shameful graphics, why ud release a demo and put in the desert level to show it off (wow more orange sand) It played like superman returns.

Looks like its just another rushed film to game release. which is a shame because if they actually tried with these types of games the result would be be pretty good.

Comment #57 by N00B EATA
Sunday, April 20, 2008 @ 03:38:59 PM

its actually pretty nice....most of the graphics is focused on iron man and not the environment or enemies....controls are not bad but could be better...rental for sure

i can see it now... 6 months after it's release this game will become a greatest hits game then 3 months after that it'll end up in the clearance bin at best buy.

I enjoyed the demo it was pretty fun except for having to get used to the controls at first. I'll definitely be looking forward to this.

Controls should be switched, but was not too bad.

Downloadable content - achievements or no achievements - will you buy it with or without them?
If the content is good, or for a game I love, I'll buy it regardless of whether chievos are included
I'll still buy and play the downloadable content, but achievements would be nice.
Who the hell cares!?
No achievements, no sale ... and that goes for any game ... whether you're GTA or Halo!
Just stop with the DLC achievements full stop ... you're ruining my completion percentage dammit!
