Opinion:

As I have pointed out on numerous occasions, I am by no means a comic book fan, but I still really like the Iron Man movies.

Ironman the game follows the basic plot line of the movie, and actually is a decent movie tie-in. You get to play as Tony Stark and develop (unlock) new Ironman suits as you progress through the story.

There is really nothing exceptional about this game, and it mostly boils down to having fun blasting the bad guys and flying around as Ironman.

If you were to remove the Ironman layer it would be a pretty mediocre shooter, a fairly short one at that. But being Ironman is a good excuse to have a flying human with rockets and laser beams.  And unsurprisingly it is a lot of fun flying around as an extremely maneuverable and extremely destructive killing machine.

That being said I had a good time stepping in the shoes of Tony Stark and would say that if you like Ironman, or even if you just like robots you should check this game out.
