Despite what gamespot and the critics say I think that iron man 2 is a good game and a fun game. It is a good improvement over the first game. the only three things that were better in the first game was the graphics, the flying, and there were more levels. Besides that everything else in iron man 2 is a lot better than iron man. the combat and the gameplay are much better in this game. the story is much better and i love the controlls and the lock on feature. You feel much more powerful in this game. You feel a lot more like iron man.The first game had a very poor story, but in this game the story is actually pretty good. However there are still some big problems with this game, as it was with iron man. The graphics are not good in this game. The facial graphics are terrible. Especially with tony stark's and Rhodes faces. In this game there are only 8 levels? It only takes around five hours to play through the whole game. This game is way too short. More levels would have been nice. Also the flying in this game is way too slow. The first game had much better flying. As well this game is repetitive as it was with iron man. This game once again has repetitive enemies. This game has better level design. In door and out door environments, unlike iron man which had repetitive level design. It only had out door environments. I rated iron man 6.5 out of 10. This one is a good improvement over the first. I love iron man so hopefully their next iron man game will be great. heck i'd settle for a very good iron man game. Hopefully sega will listen to the critics and the gamers. There are five bosses in Iron Man 2 and they are great. There are also Armigers which are the sub bosses in this game. You fight them four times all together.
