The Hulk and Iron Man for PS3... worth it?

Post by JDMThoughts »

I just went into my local gamestop for their 50% off sale and I had a 10% coupon off as well. Well I bought the following:

Valkyria Chronicles
Dirt
Civil War
Call Of Duty 3
Brothers In Arms

I love all of these games, at least the few moments I spent playing each one today. My question is, should I go back and pick up the Hulk and Ironman games? I enjoyed the demo for Ironman, but at the time couldn't justify the 60 dollar tag. Just wondering what you guys think about the idea. I am a really big fan of comic book related stuff. Any other potential PS3 games I should look into, and don't point me in the direction of obvious ones. Something like a hidden gem if you will.

I enjoyed Folklore and Siren:Lost Translation. Warning though, Folklore is weird and very different. Siren will make you sit at the edge of your chair in suspense. And since you like SRPGs Disgaea 3 is great as well. These games are a little off the map of mainstream I think.

Hulk & Ironman weren't so good in my opinion.

Iron Man's controls are a bit awkward and kinda ruined it a bit for me....and you're better off getting Hulk: Ultimate Destruction than the newer movie tie-in.

Maybe i'm just bad at the game- but i hit a roadblock pretty quickly with ultimate destruction. Some mission i needed to finish to advance and tried it 15+ times and never got it right. ugh.

i enjoied the ironman demo too- but i have to agree the controls were a little awkward. Maybe if it was cheap i'd pick it up.

Well that's the whole thing, both games are 20 dollars each at my local gamestop. I really enjoyed the demo for Iron Man, but when it was released I didn't think it was worth my 60 dollars. It looks like I will be going back to get Hulk since some of you enjoyed the gameplay. I have heard a lot of things of Disgaea, I am not used to the style of play that was Marvels Ultimate Alliance and even though I like Valkria Chronicles, I am not familiar with this type of RPG. That doesn't mean I don't like it. I got hooked on rpgs from playing Final Fantasy VII, that was the first one I ever played, so I have high standards for things like that, as well as Tactics, and Suikoden and Breath of Fire and Xenogears. So I am very familiar with turn based rpgs and random battles, I actually prefer to play games more like that. I am gonna have to double check the store again for Disgaea then. Thanks for the input guys.

Keep in mind those comments were in regard to a different game.

If you don't expect too much out of them, both games seem pretty enjoyable for what they are. I tend to like super hero games despite them being mediocre most of the time. I'll pick up Hulk for 360 eventually, but will probably pass on Iron Man since I don't dig flying in games.
