The movie rocked, but why can't the game?

First of all, the Iron Man armor is rendered beautifully in-game. The moves, from grappling to projectile attacks, are fun to use.... However, this is where the line is drawn in positive points for this game. I have nothing negative to say about the story, as you can get what you need from the movie and play this to control the armor we love. Game play, while simplistic, has its share of issues. Not being able to get through a squadron of fighter jets, even though you tossed their missiles back to them numerous times, is frustrating. You'd think that the armor could withstand small arms fire and flak from small projectiles, but, sadly, this is not the case. These problems, as well as trying to throw you into timed situations that, honestly, don't translate very well into the gameplay, lead more toward frustration than fun. All in all, the controls are tight, the graphics decent, but the gameplay just doesn't have what it takes. Let's hope the upcoming Incredible Hulk game is the one that nails it for movie tie-in games.
