If there's one thing that can make us more apprehensive than a movie-based-game, it's a comic book-based-movie-based-game. We've found that the fewer levels of adaptation a product is forced through, the better off it is for it. However, after watching the VGA premiere trailer and the recent "Iron Flight" trailer for Sega's Iron Man, we must admit, it's becoming difficult to maintain this trepidatious front -- the game looks rad. Between the Black Sabbath, the missile suplex, the blue stealth armor, and the halving of not one, but two tanks, we're pretty sure the pleasure centers in our brain just burst. We highly suggest checking out that trailer while we attempt to drive to the nearest emergency neurologist.

as unimpressive as the first trailer. .. this game will be repetative in the extreme.

I think it will do the whole gameplay thing amazingly, but the story will probably ruin the entire game making it repetitive. I noticed scenes from the first trailer. So either they had to reuse clips (not good) or its just doing the same thing (also not good). :(

I agree...Does anyone here even remember the last good sega game they played? I think mine was Panzer Dragoon Orta or JSRF.

Well, SEGA did make Condemned and Condemned 2. Loved the first one, haven't played the second yet, though.
I'd say they still do make some quality titles. To me it seems that the only time SEGA screws up anymore is if they allow Team Sonic to take the reigns on a project.

My bad, I guess SEGA only published the Condemned games.

CORRECTION:
SEGA makes good games.
SONIC TEAM makes horrible games.
Record set straight.

Actually, I'm psyched. I hate to admit it, but that looks good to me. Only a simple question though....
IS THAT SERIOUSLY THE SHIELD BASE?!? Please let me take on Shield's headquarters...

psh. We all know how it's going to end.
Nick Fury beats the shit out of Tony(with his bare hands), then fucks a boat load of asian whores.
Why?
Cause he's Nick fucking Fury that's why.

nah, what will happen is what always happens. Shield gets issues and "talks" Tony into helping. Tony somehow does something bad and suddenly drinks himself into oblivion for another two year story arc....

a trailer can make anything look good. Transformers comes to mind... You can take snippets of anything in that game and convince someone for a minute and 30 seconds that it'll be really freaking good. Too bad gameplay is gonna suck, i can almost guarantee it.

Cool Spot was a SODA BASED GAME, and it rocked hard.

Samuel is in the film as Nick Fury. I think this is the only time in history that one character will be played by both Sam Jackson and David Hasselhoff.

I just want the movie and game to just be multiple-hour long music videos for that song. I somehow doubt that will be the case.

Haven't you seen the movie previews? They use the song.

i was waiting the entire trailer for the song to break out ... in that aspect, it failed me.

It's difficult to tell based on the trailer--but it could be good. If things like catching a missile and throwing it back are actually a skill that can be learned and repeated, then that's great. If it's just one part of a linear storyline or a cut-scene, then that blows.
I'm hoping it's like The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction for the original XBox.

Yeah, Ultimate Destruction was the first thing I thought of when I saw this trailer.
*sigh* I wasted many a happy hour running into things with a bus shield in that game...

The first LOTR game sucked.
The first couple of EA LoTR games were actually pretty damn good.
RTS are good from what I hear.
Stay the fuck away from the RPG.
