P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); Review Since his creation back in 1938, the Man of Steel has faced such challenges as Richard Pryor, the Anti-Monitor, marriage, the reworking of his origin, and even death. Heck, back in the old days, he used to kick the bucket about every other issue. But never in the course of all those years has such a threat appeared to dog his name and reputation as much as Titus' Superman game for the N64. Lex Luthor has trapped Superman's friends Lois, Professor Hamilton, and Jimmy Olsen in a "virtual world," and you, as Superman, must enter it to rescue them. Also populating this realm are the villains Braniac, Darkseid, Bizarro, Metallo, several other bad folks from the animated series, and an endless array of shadowy drone characters. Sure, it's pretty slim on premise, but that in and of itself isn't a bad thing. Many titles have provided quality gameplay with only a paper-thin story supporting them. Superman, however, isn't one of them, and the game that follows is one of the weakest ever, even in the dubious category known as "licensed games." The gameplay alternates between standard 3D adventure fare and timed mission objectives. The 3D adventure elements include collecting keys to open doors, beating up enemies, and pushing buttons in the proper order shortly after receiving instructions as to which order to push them. Meanwhile, the mission objectives require you to fly though hoops that Lex Luthor has inexplicably left suspended in the air, save innocents from harm, and toss objects about. Except for flying, to use your super powers you must acquire power-ups, such as heat vision, super breath, and super speed - all of which run out eventually. Still, nothing sounds too offensive yet, right? It's the execution of all these elements that absolutely kills the game. The controls are so unresponsive that you'll assume you've pushed the wrong button and begin bashing on all of them for some sort of attention, and the perspective routinely manages to vex you. Now, add in all those simplistic goals mentioned earlier to this mix, and you've got an incredibly tedious experience in front of you. And it's one that resides in an environment so sparse it makes a Zen garden look crowded. This environment has suspect collision detection and obvious bugs that vie for your attention, and painted-in graphics that appear subpar even for a first generation N64 game. But there's more. The multiplayer modes - a deathmatch and a race, where one player sets up the floating rings and the others attempt to push past him - feel very reminiscent of Ubi Soft's Buck Bumble, meaning they seem thrown in at the last minute and unfinished. The soundtrack would be considered bad for the SNES, and it loops constantly, while the sparse voice work even changes at one point, from Man of Steel actors to someone who sounds nothing like the lead of the show. The only Superman compliment I can find to say is that flying beats walking. If I've been in any way unclear up to this point, let me state it simply: This is easily the worst game I've ever played. To steal a line outright from a film review in the San Francisco Bay Guardian, it serves no purpose other than to firmly establish the bottom of the barrel. --Joe Fielder --Copyright ©1999 GameSpot Inc.

THE WORST N64 GAME OF ALL TIME!!!
This game is one the worst N64 game of all time and one the second worst game of all time besides E.T. for Atari 2600.This game is so bad. It makes you want to kill yourself with your N64 Controller and your Super Gamer Fist.Imagine Superman was playing his own game for N64 and start crying like a baby!The controller is bad.The Gameplay is bad.The Graphics is bad.The Music is bad.Even the ending sucks where the game said "Congratulations! You got your friends out of this Virtual World. But in the real world. Lex is still there". Sorry, I have to spoiler the ending to warn you this ending sucks.Anyway, this game SUCKS!!!I'll give Superman 64 a 1/10. F-I'm sorry, I can't go lower then 1. You know what? This is my review. I can do whatever I want.I'll give Superman 64 a -64/10. Super FStay away from this game.If your AVGN Fan. Then keep this game and get it signed by James Rolfe as AVGN himself.
I**N

S**3
Ok but not good
oh my gosh this game is not a good game I gave it three stars for 3 reasons I was gonna give it 2 but then i decited it was a good game to goof around on. Its glichey and the plot is appearentally superman trying to find the right wedding ring so he does what any other superman does and flies through them. The cartrige I got was crappy to say the least. It was loose and the back label was gone and the front one was almost the same way. I works fine. I would recomend this game to someone who is not "super" serious about gameing and likes to waste time. If you want a better synopsis of the game check out protonjons lp of it, its.pretty good,well as good as this game can get.
J**H
incredible.
Titus singlehandedly destroyed superman. i couldnt believe it as soon as i played this game, its so ridiculous and the graphics are an eyesore. please do yourself a favor and if you have this game, burn it! it should be made illegal to sell, own, or even give this game to anyone. they couldve made this game so much better. but no, instead 90 percent of this game is flying through those stupid annoying rings. honestly i could never get completely used to that. and everything you pick up explodes! how stupid is that!? in my opinion this is possibly the dumbest game in all of video gaming history. i actually thought superman used to be pretty cool, but now i think he's about the lamest superhero ever thought of. way to go titus, you really outdid yourself on this one. trash this abomination and get a real video game like resident evil: operation racoon city.

Why Doesn't Amazon Let Us Use Zeroes?
Because this game does not deserve even one star, not even a half-star.There are more negative reviews for this game than there are blades of grass in my backyard, so it's hard to say something about it that has not been said yet. However, we ARE talking about a game so vile, it's enough to turn would-be comic collectors away from Superman.The biggest complaint people have about this game is that the controls barely function. They're right: you press Z for liftoff, B for flight accleration, R for the breaks, and A to punch. Or in other words, press any button to make Superman have a delirious seizure. The control stick in this game offers some of the most hilariously bad character control: Superman is so twitchy, and spasms every time you try to turn. The only way to get anywhere at all while flying is to occasionally let up on the B button.Believe it or not, the man of steel is even worse ON FOOT. He doesn't run to any destination, he Super Struts, and VERY SLOWLY. The punching is so awkward to use, delayed, and has such a short reach, you could be within kissing distance of an enemy and still take damage before you get to hit them. I have died numerous times because of this pathetic attack, but besides some his superpowers, it's his only true means of attack.Don't even get me started about the graphics and sound; they're horrendous. Superman looks like a blue turd with little red logs for feet, the fog is only there to disguise the fact that Metropolis is shockingly undetailed and boring, the enemies are mostly bland robots and shadowy midgets, and the music? It's just... not there. You know how most games have at least one catchy tune? You could play with the sound off, and not miss anything. In fact, if you dare to play this game, I recommend that's what you do: mute the TV, and turn on some Gorillaz or ZZ Top.I can't keep count of all the bugs in this game: when you try to throw cars or robots, sometimes they freeze in place, and they are never thrown in the direction you were facing. Robots apparently choose when they want to explode, whether it's when they're cast onto the ground, in midair, or before even leaving your hands; and it's even randomized if Superman takes any damage from the explosion at all. The Man of Steel often gets stuck on walls that are at least a yard or so away, which makes flying indoors just to get to where you need to go faster a nightmare. There was also a glitch I exploited by FALLING THROUGH THE FLOOR. This game's whole design is a terrifying mess.So, all in all, Superman 64 is a terrible game, and I can only recommend it to people who are considering taking up game programming just so that they know what not to do.

M**T
THe stars are not about the game itself!
Lets all say it at once, Superman 64 is a terrible game. Mediocre movements, bad camera, graphic and gameplay.That's why most of you who bought this/consider buying this. It is one of the worst game that's why, collection and masochism.Now, about the seller: Good delivery time, game came brand new at a low price, I am satisfied. I can now enjoy having this brand new looking t*urd in my collection! 5 stars.
