    Spider-man 3 was okay, but Superman 64, yeah sucked as well as Batman Forever.

    Yoshistubba you are so articulate. "Reviewer person". And I made the joke because he said he played Spider-Man 3 for PS2. It was a ****ing joke, maybe pull your boyfriends **** out of your ear so he stops triggering your brain to say stupid ****. This is actually one of the most accurate reviews that gamedaily has ever done, and everyone who works at game daily knows that I'm not a fan of about 99% of the reviews and lists they do. Just ask Chris Buffa.

    Yeah, we're lousy reviewers. Because hitting walls with Spiderman and flying around without controlling Superman are sooooo fun. *sarcasm*

    adambomb002, please tell me where willrobshel40 said he was poor or didn't own a next gen system? Maybe you should go back to reading your comic books. Nerd.

    Being a comic book writer and fan I actually had to read all of this for once. All I have to say is four things. Catwoman the game was better than the movie but that's not saying much. That's like saying well at least he puked in my mouth instead of crapping in it. Spiderman 3 sucked both as a game and a movie, and wilrobshel how about you stop being poor and buy a next-gen system you latch key kid. Number 2. Superman 64 was so bad it caused cancer, but I think we all know that. And number one is Rise of the Imperfects was a horrible horrible game that could've been good if it had two things. Well designed backgrounds with destructible and interactive environments, and characters that people actually ****ing know! I've been reading comics for 20 years and I don't even know who the **** Johnny Ohm is.

    I can't believe they're insulting this great game because they had trouble playing it. The controls are hard at first but not really and with a 6 button control its even easier to play. It had tons of cool moves that u select at the beginning and besides the circus level all the levels were cool too. It was also very replayable because the levels are full of secret doors and power ups. It even had co op and a survival mode! My only complaint was that the riddles made weird mumbling when you picked them up, otherwise this was one of the best batman games since batman returns on NES.

    Can definitely agree about Batman Forever, I rented that one time and couldn't even make it past the first level. Tried it again years later, couldn't even figure out how to get out of the first screen!

    "Yes, they are the worst ever Noir and also...WTF? TUROK WAS A COMIC?!" Yeah, Turok's been around since the '50s. A long since defunct publisher called Gold Key created a group of sci-fi and fantasy characters (including Doctor Solar and Magnus, Robot Fighter) that were picked up in the '90s by a company called Valiant, which was later itself purchased by Acclaim, who in turn made games based on the properties - Turok, Shadowman, Armorines, and even a crossover game-comic combo with Marvel called "Iron Man/X-O Manowar: Heavy Metal" for the PSOne.
