The plot in Iron Man follows the movie. You're trapped in a cave and forced to build a powerful robotic suit for combat, or die. But instead of giving the suit to the soldiers who hold you captive, you decide to use it to blow them away. Then they come after you in what we would consider the largest army of generic bad guys since we watched GI Joe fight Cobra circa 1980s.

As Iron Man, you fly around the battlefield destroying everything in sight while getting shot at constantly by everything in sight. You have several powers that let you blast away the weak generic soldiers and launch missiles at their vehicles. You can also simply tear their vehicles apart by pressing a few buttons quickly. The missiles take time to recharge so you'll have to dodge a great deal. The controls are great, but take time to master.

You can redirect the power in your suit to recharge your missiles, but then you lose power in other areas which can be hazardous to your health since the enemies never stop firing at you. You can escape to someplace and recharge, or try and dodge enemy missiles. You can also catch them and throw them back at the enemy, but there's usually too many missiles to deal with this way. The AI is pretty good at hitting you, but doesn't do much other than stand their firing.

Iron Man has good graphics and the battlefield is large and with good draw distance. There's plenty of details in Iron Man and the enemy vehicles, but not the soldiers. There's also some trouble with the enemy popping up out of nowhere because you fly so fast as Iron Man. There's not much of a soundtrack, but plenty of voiceovers by the actors, especially Robert Downey Jr. The special effects and sound effects are substandard. We guess mainly because this game plays so fast, the developers didn't think that was important.

There's no multiplayer, but you can unlock more Iron Man suits through mission achievements. But trust us, this game is difficult enough without time limits or numbers of kills required to unlock anything. We're not lowering the score because we find this game very difficult (although we will for not having multiplayer), but unless you're a hyperactive kid or caffeine lover, Iron Man will have your eyes spinning trying to keep up with the difficulty.
