My Thoughts on the New 'Iron Man 3: The Official Game' - Available for iOS and Android

The Iron Man 3 game is out! In the game, you play as Iron Man, Tony Stark. 

The game is a "runner", which means you're constantly moving. 

As you're flying through the city, you're getting attacked and must fight back. 

You start off with the new Mark 42 armor for the first run but once you lose, the suit becomes damaged and you'll need to upgrade back to it later in the game.

So now you're given, armor Mark 3. You start flying around and fighting enemies, while dodging around obstacles like; planes, missiles, buses, blimps, lasers from bad guys and so on.

You can upgrade your armor(s) with the credits you collect, and get for completing missions, to improve: heath, weapons and whatever 'special' does.

You can buy new armors, however this is done incrementally in groups of armors and if your a mediocre player, just upgrading to the next available armor may take you about 120 'runs'.      


Likes:
- It's Iron Man!
- It's free-to-play
- Graphics are okay, looks not so great on a retina iPad, but still good.
- The idea of the game, would of looked good on paper. 
- The 18 different available suits.
- Since Robert Downey Jr. would of been too expensive to get to do the voice, 
I'm happy they picked Adrian Pasdar (who voiced Iron Man in the anime).

Dislikes:
- Suits are too expensive (will take a long time to save up credits)
- Game is too repetitive.
- Controls aren't that good (even with adjusting sensitivity).
- Game accuracy of movements is off
- Constantly being made to wait unless you use the rare diamonds.
- All text should be voiced, not only some parts. 
- Game is a 644MB download, and after playing uses 1GB+ of your storage. 
- Drains battery life, fast!

While playing the game it got me thinking, do the game developers want us to hate games? Is it so hard these days to make an enjoyable game? It's frickin' Iron Man, and you're flying through the city, shooting at bad guys! Playing this game should be fun, and (at least for me) it's just okay - but not fun.

If you're a fan of the "runner" game genre, you may like this game. If you're not a fan of "runners", you'll most likely find this game: frustrating, annoying and difficult.


You can download the Iron Man 3: The Official Game from the App Store and Google Play Store, for free.
