Iron Man 2: The Video Game Review
The Short Version: Iron Man 2: The Video Game Sucks! Despite one of the developers promising in multiple interviews it wouldn’t. He had to have known too. Aside from fixed flight controls, the game ignores a massive opportunity for a co-operative mode and only delivers 4-5 hours of game play! For a Full Priced $60 game, Sega should be ashamed of themselves!
The Video Review:
What you’ll Like:
• Flying mechanics have been improved.
• Blow stuff up.
What you’ll Hate:
• THE GAME IS 4 HOURS LONG! For $60! Unacceptable, no matter how fun any missions are.
• The Voice Acting and Sound Effects are particularly weak. (except Samuel L. Jackson & Downey Impersonator)
• HUGE opportunity wasted by not including Co-op for War Machine fans.
• No Online modes outside of the 4-5 hour game play means this is play once & forget.
• Whiplash doesnt even make an appearance and there was no point to Black Widow’s character.
Final Verdict:
2/10
EPIC FAILURE! DO NOT BUY!

You are correct. These games are directed at the non game literate mom’s dad’s and grandparents. It is sad really. Developers should make the games for the audience, instead of a stupid cash in.
Well to be honest Samuel L. Jackson deserves his own bullet point.
I figured that this game would suck as badly as the first Iron Man game Sega did.
wow. you mean this game sucks? really? i could tell you that from the triller’s. the movie on the other hand kicked ass. thank you and good night.
I have one question:
Why did you not just rent it from Blockbuster for like $10?
I can see it in your eyes really how much you hated it, I felt the same way for another game, Ended up Smasing the game with a hammer and set the manual on fire!
Another wallet raper… nice review again Joe… If only parents and grandmas would watch this!! Then they would know how god awful most movie games are.
i wonder what would happen if angry joe actually got the full suit from the iron man movie’s and i mean all the version and he can make them like his jacket and SUPERMAN logo?
If the company closed before the game came out, who’s taking the money?
Well i think it should go to Joe cause he’s having serious trauma’s after this and maybe he has to visit a psychiatrist.
I will fully agree with Joe on this one, I was lucky to rent this…an finish it in the same day, my room mate went “Wow new record” I went “No, very short and too simple game” Reminds me of the dissappointment for FF13, but anyway, if fact even the ps3 one was worst, there were cheap shot in the game, like near the end you could not get close enough to pop the cores, or the upload was already 80% complete before getting into W.M.
Also to make a brief point, just to compare I rent Iron man one and the quality between the 2 visually , the first game look a hell of a look better, I then I can make something like the suit in Second life that look more decent then IM2 was…Though I was lucky, when I return with IM2 I told how disappointed I was they gave me a free game rental to exchange for it… I am sorry for you lost Joe.
Alright, two things:
1) THANK YOU GODDAMNIT!!! I was thinking of buying this game the next time I got payed. Thank you for saving me $60 dude! You are the friggin’ BEST!!!
2) You working on a beard or did you not get a chance to shave yet? Either way, I like the look.
Although after a while, I may buy a used version of it when it gets down to $10 so I can laugh at it… or use it as a Christmas tree decoration… punch a nice hole in it…
1. Hot damn that’s a nice beard you grew Joe!
2. Hot damn that’s a shitty game you reviewed Joe!
3. Hot damn… my poor cousin just got that from my aunt… thankfully he’s only 7 so MAYBE he won’t notice the shityness that flows off this game. God damn I never felt so bad for you Joe.
Go play something good now will you? And keep that game close in case it actually blows you and pays you a check for 60$ after all that’s all you can hope for now
damn man.. i have the first game and fuck me in the ass… it was only at least €9.99 for a used game… this one i’m not going to bother getting… it just will be an ass rape to infinity and beyond
when will these people make better comic / movie video games they can really suck big floppy donkey dick#
by the way, Great Fucking Review
as for the game *slaps the my official seal of Dog shit* nil point
Why did you PAY money for this? You could have just rented it and still review it. Seriously, watching your review and you are looking pale. This game sucked the life out of you
It proberly sucked so much because the company was cloesing and they hardley had time to increase the stuff.
Plus the Jaws Unleashed game is good. Voice acting sucked a bit.
Hey joe, sorry you had to deal with that stupid ass game.. I think you should review
Assassin’s creed 2. I played it myself personally and it rocks get back to me at my e-mail
Went and saw the movie last night, saw your game review today. They had the gall to hand out coupons for the game at the theater when you bought your ticket. *sighs* So sad how unfair this game is to all that is Iron Man.
That game is so bad man i not buying that game ever thinks joe for your info on this game and i hope you get your $60 back for it.
That game is so bad man i am not buying that game ever thinks joe for your info on this game and i hope you get your $60 back for it.
You do realize that the sinister Corporate Commander is behind this, Joe. Who else could it be?
Pffft, you think $20 is unfair? I f*cking bought LBP for 60 dollars, then returned it for 16 DOLLARS. And I didn’t buy it at it’s launch, oh no. I BOUGHT IT A YEAR AFTER IT CAME OUT.
Hell yeah, Black Sabbath are just a feast for your ears!!!
Too bad the game sucks so hard, and i feel bad for the developers too!
I mean, they are obliged to finish a damn game when the movie comes out, thus making anything else but Crap, and getting a bad reputation for doing so.
I don’t think that shame is worth the (not that much) money they are going to get out of this garbage.
That’s even more frustrating when you see superhero games, not movie licensed though, (BatmanAA & Marvel UA) that are simply awesome and well made!!!
No games made out of movies are good THEY ALL FUCKING SUCKS. Specially the superheroes one
Hey Joe, when it comes out, will you review Portal 2?
just immagine if you were a kid on a christmas morning and went to see whats there and saw this steaming pile of shit game there….that’ll be the shitiest day wouldn’t it..
Angry Joe, why didn’t you get the game on gamefly…..
Also, I give the MOVIE a 9.5/10.
Too bad the game, well, BLOWS!!!
I am deepy sorry you had to endure that shitfest. But I must admire you for sacrificing yourself the betterment of the gaming industry! Fight for us Joe! Tell them what’s what! And one day…they will hopefully reward you with a true masterpiece….not Iron Man related.
How is it that i’m not surprised that SEGA did this crap…
And i know that you have to warn the silly moms and grandmas to buy it for their cute little sons but GOD did you really had to actually buy it ? I feel sorry for your money man, but paying 60$ for this is just like if you dropped your pants in front of the men that did this shit and directly ask them to f*** you without lube !
The 1 was so horrible, everything was so crappy and i so knew that of course if they would do a sequel to this “thing” it would as horrible so i was not even surprised that it took a 2/10 for it.
Well it’s just another butchered movie license game, no surprise just like the huge pile of others, thank god SOME of them actually end to be good games but i’m talking over a 1/10 movie license games so whatever… :/
Oh and talking about Sega, i know they’re the publisher and not the developper so they actually did not really make this pile of crap since it’s SL Studios but i just can’t ignore the fact that lately Sega tend to publish games that ended to be more or less butchered games…
Avp for the pc (playable but has several issues very frustrating imho), some of the Total Wars (didn’t play that one but heard a lot of feedback), here the Iron man franchise etc etc…
Lmao I love the part where IronJoe cries… err.. Yeah.. XD
Very funny with the timing and how his helmet shuts.
Lolly, sorry that we are assholes and like to watch you cry.. ERr, I mean, get angry.
Uh…. yeah.. we love you.
ps. My brother sp[illed milk on himself while watching this.
Ps…s: I want IronJoe’s babies.
Why didn’t you just rent the game?
Okay I have a honest question Joe. Why the hell would you buy it in the first place? I new the moment I saw the GameTrailersTV interview with the developer that it was below a rental.
You look badass. >:D
Soooo… out of curiosity, what WOULD you rate this game if it jumped out of your Xbox and started blowing you while writing you a check for $60?
Then Joe would rate it 3 out of 5!
It’s too bad that you will never get that time or money back for this steaming pile of donkey dung but i salute you Joe! The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few (or the one).
I knew this game would be a shitfest but 60 BUCKS FOR 4 HOURS! I think I’m gonna be sick. despite the fact that i AM a dad, I am a GAMER dad. And no amount of crying and whining from my kids is EVER gonna convince me to part with ANY amount of money for this TRAVESTY!
he rely did get angry
hahaha,awesome review Joe. i f*** love your reviews.they are so true. the only decent movie licence game was wolverine origins. but it still was average.
alright man. catchya later
That’s right, love that game.
The anger levels on this review are just LOL. Man what an entertaining review to watch, realy a blast!
Wow, you sound FURIOUS in this review.. Now that’s the ANGRY Joe I want to see in the future aswell..! Not that you’re not angry enough in your previous reviews but this one takes the cake in ANGER. And for good reasons, too!
Also.. I I think you forgot to beep out some of the cursewords.. ah well, more fun to me!
There really should be some kind of entertainment law or something to prevent games like these..
Joe, you’re my new favorite game reviewer!
This is pure entertainment and also informative. Keep doing this!!! I just ove it!
Greetings from Belgium
Wow, another movie license game. Why do you subjugate yourself to such torture Joe? All of us already know to steer clear of such games, you don’t need to waste your money to buy this crap just to prove something we already realized. Great episode!
Yeah just for doing this heroic effort of preventing people to buy while he did buy it himself they should just build a golden statue in Joe’s honor !
Thank god i never played any of the 2 iron man games, just watching the screenshot alone was enough to make me puke at the time of the number 1.
Fortunately images and trailers sometimes helps you A LOT to know if a coming game will most probably suck or not
or at least a Medal of Honor bestowed by the President…lol
Can’t you give the game back? In Germany, Gamestop will give you the full price back. Not in cash, but you get a $60 or € coupon. Always thought that it would be the same in the USA.
how about we use the secret weapon we’ve been saving in case alien vs. predator was bad now?
I wonder if they actually made a game of Jaws?
That would suck so hard….
Btw joe ,the shiny unicorn sticker reminds me of the LJN logo.
Happy to hear there is actually an Angry Joe seal of assness!
Love the epic fail seal!
yes, the actually made a game of it, called jaws unleashed. i don’t believe i need to tell you how bad it was do i?
im going to look that shit up lol
Just for shits and giggles
holy shit its bad! its so fuckkin bad!
Maybe we should make Joe review this game?
actually they made 2 jaws games. one for the NES that was based on Jaws 4. All you did was swim around and collect shells and crabs, avoid jellyfish and stingrays, and try not to get eaten by a shark that came around every few minutes. And you kill Jaws by stabbing him with your ship, just like in the movie. Sorry for spoilers if you haven’t seen that garbage before.
Then Jaws Unleashed came out. Never played it, but atleast you have decent destruction in that game. I think the controls made it hard to play from what I’ve heard.
Well im going to look for the jaws unleashed game here and maybe ill review it..
Its crap for sure..
DAMN! I saw you scream about this on Twitter and I feel sorry for ya man.
I don’t know if you went for the game credit, but if you still have it you should blow that shit up!
60$ For only 4 hours? that’s ridiculous, thank you for the review Joe.
The graphics looks awful too.
/rob
put the score below the video, i dont wanna know what u think of the game BEFORE i watch the video
Absolutely fully agree with that. I wanna see the review first and then the verdict. It keeps watching more exciting
So please place the verdict somewhere under the video so we can’t see it first. But in this case it was very predictable ^^
Thanks in advance
I third this vote! I would much prefer it as well if you placed the final score at the bottom of the page instead at the top. I always have to close my eyes and scroll down for a bit so I won’t see the final score before I watch the video. lol
Please, Please, change the format of the video screen!
P.S. YOU ROCK JOE!
We all knew this game would be crap before the iron man 2 movie was even announced!
hey, not all movie based games are bad, just most of them. ever heard of Goldeneye 007 or Lord of the Rings: Return of the King. Star Wars also has some good games. key word being some.
Sorry you had to deal with this crap. I really wish we could do something about bad games like this. I wonder if we could sign petitions to get rid of all movie based games. Atleast this could make a good gag gift for someone or a paper weight.
and not sure if you meant to do that as a joke, but under the final verdict it says “2/10 very fun!” Just letting you know incase that was an accident.
LOL. Nope it wasn’t. Change it back to what its supposed to be! Thanks
