Iron Man demo hitting Xbox Live Marketplace tomorrow

Sega has kindly informed us that an interactive snippet of gameplay from its upcoming Iron Man game will become available for download on the Xbox Live Marketplace sometime tomorrow. Players are invited to become literal cans of whoop-ass, with Marvel's metal-clad superhero aiding them in the destruction of tanks, jets and other things that explode when you punch them a lot.

PlayStation 3 owners will have to make do with our impressions for now, though a PSN demo is scheduled to arrive "soon." Iron Man is out for every console ever on May 2, the same day they release a movie of the same name. What a coincidence!

And I'm very interested in how the gameplay for this game works out...hopefully it will be smooth. And hopefully the graphics are excellent.

Justin: Apr 17th 2008; 9:57PM

wait...didn't the 360 finally get the Condemned demo today?

almost a month after it was on PS3?

ThePremierAssassin: Apr 17th 2008; 10:13PM

What game are you talking about?

Why should I care about Condemned? Isn't it out already and if not it must not be that spectacular if I don't know about it.

bipartisan console politics is a waste of your youth... move on and grow the hell up.

Co: Apr 17th 2008; 9:04PM

I wish that picture was taken from the real movie. It might actually be worth a look then.

colin: Apr 17th 2008; 9:08PM

an early demo can only mean one thing ... its good.

Arteen: Apr 17th 2008; 9:10PM

That image looks more exciting than the movie.

Steve: Apr 17th 2008; 9:12PM

Worth a download I guess.....

Sora267: Apr 17th 2008; 9:12PM

I lol'd so hard at the image.

Markez: Apr 17th 2008; 9:21PM

"an early demo can only mean one thing ... its good."

Hope so, but if I remember correctly I thought this was already getting panned a few places for the gameplay?

Had a big WTF moment first time I saw the preview for the movie. Downey?

Stores should be receiving retail copies of this game any day now. Although the release date has been pushed back to coincide with the movie release, the game is already finished.

This happens a lot with mediocre movie-based games. They'll print and ship it a week or two early because they don't really care if the game is polished or not.

Have some faith in Sega.

tmacairjordan87: Apr 17th 2008; 9:38PM

I'll admit the game trailer has me slightly intrigued so i'll definitely try it tomorrow.

Definitely not seeing the movie though. I guess I'll be one of those people "hurting iron man's sales because of GTA 4".

E.J.: Apr 17th 2008; 9:40PM

No matter how bad this movie will be, I'll still see it at midnight.

DUDE I'm a member of the extreme ironing movement! I've sent a few pictures in myself. Iron on dudes, iron on!

novel: Apr 17th 2008; 9:53PM

how come no PS3 demo?

adfasdfaiosfuiwe fukin x350tards

Vegeta (aka Ska Oreo): Apr 17th 2008; 10:01PM

Because the ps3 didn't register.

OhJustSomeRandomGuy: Apr 17th 2008; 9:59PM

YES! Extreme Ironing reference!

Joystiq coolness + 1.

Yourself: Apr 17th 2008; 10:10PM

Every console ever? Or just two consoles and two handhelds?

Tim The Enchanter: Apr 17th 2008; 10:13PM

Ludwig, well done. I lol'd at that!

I can't wait to try this game... I just hope they add a lock on feature. Or at least a steam release button.

Batzarro(A.K.A Rap-Rock Cameo): Apr 17th 2008; 10:21PM

Ironman.
Ironman.
Does whatever an iron can!
Look out! Here comes the Ironman!
Is he drunk? Big surprise!
His beer gut is an amazing sight! Looka out!

theturtle363: Apr 17th 2008; 11:13PM

I think I'm much more deserving of a game than that alcoholic Tin man!

PSN: KillaKornbread (the shirt is a lie!): Apr 17th 2008; 11:16PM

that picture is filled to the brim with win.

TheHuntIsOn: Apr 18th 2008; 4:08AM

Is that Bleaklow? Or Kinderslow or someplace like that? The rocks where you're supposed to do pushups on, legs on one rock arms on another.

Probably thousands of miles wrong.

Benny: Apr 18th 2008; 8:29AM

Why does everyone think the film going to suck? Spiderman 3 was bad, but on the whole Marvel movies tend to be really good.

BenBeats: Apr 18th 2008; 11:26AM

Daredevil? Also not good. Ghost Rider? Terrible. Elektra? Do we even count that one? I'm very excited for it, but am also worried.

Benny: Apr 18th 2008; 11:59AM

Oh shit, you're right. My expectations just died.
