Not since XBL has decided I'm not allowed to download the damn demo. This is the same thing that happened with Tony Hawk. I get about 60 percent in and then it crashes.

I downloaded the demo and played it through yesterday. It's pretty good fun in a "shoot the crap out of stuff while flying around" kind of way, and fairly impressive graphically . The ground based melee fighting is poor; one punch, which looks singularly ineffective. I was hoping for some hurling tanks around goodness, a la Hulk: Ultimate Destruction.

I like the promise of upgradeable armour, though. I wonder if any of the specialist armours, such as the stealth or Hulkbuster models, will make it in. I think it mentioned armours from the film specifically, so probably not.

I thought it controlled really really poor and was thoroughly unimpressed.

Although the idea of different armor does have some appeal. I'm still going to wait for a price drop.

After playing Crackdown I am convinced that you can make a good superhero game with full enivornment. I mean beyond even Spider-Man 2 or Hulk: Ultimate Destruction. They could have done something similar with Iron Man if they had really wanted to.

EDIT -
Silver Centurion is a 360 exclusive and Ultimates Armor is PS3 exclusive? Man, PS3 owners got screwed.

I really liked the control scheme while in the air, especially how the gradients on the triggers that normally get ignored saw some love. On the ground, not so great.

I really don't see how a "full environment" would benefit this game, or any game where you can fly indefinitely. The terrain is important in Crackdown or Ultimate Destruction because the player has to navigate around it, and so the game is strengthened by a well thought out landscape.

Overall it looks like a rental.

I played the demo and enjoyed it. I liked the fact you could upgrade and customize the armor, and the flying sequences were pretty cool. I don't think this one is worth $59 though. I'll keep an eye out for it in the future in the previously played sections.
