Iron Man 2 Game Preview
Why watch Iron Man when you can be him...
I am not particularly a gamer, but I like watching video games especially those that have intriguing plot lines. So with this sequel to Iron Man game written by Matt "Extremis" Fraction I think the story is in good hands, I just hope the game doesn't disappoint.
Article from gamerevolution reads:
As some of you may regrettably recall, the last Iron Man movie tie-in video game from SEGA, shall we say, didn’t do so well. But the nice thing about next year’s movie sequel is that it will give them a chance to make restitution for the sins of their past. And that is exactly what they’re hoping to do with Iron Man 2.
Thankfully, the story is more of a companion piece to the film than a rehashing of the movie's plot. Matt Fraction, writer for the Invincible Iron Man comic book has been brought in to pen an original story for the game. The level we were shown took place in an A.I.M. drone factory in Russia. Billionaire playboy Tony Stark is still trying to keep his technology from falling into the wrong hands and has shown up in his metal suit to stop clandestine scientists from wreaking havoc upon the world.
One of the major problems with the first Iron Man was that you felt too removed from the action. Right off the bat, Iron Man 2 sets itself apart from its predecessor with the addition of indoor environments. There are still a lot of outdoor, open-map, fly-around ones as well, but they’re looking to strike a better balance and create more chances for combat variety.
They’re also planning to put a larger emphasis on hand-to-hand to combat this time around. You’ll have more fighting styles to choose from than a kung-fu master of the nine deadly arts and you’ll be able to switch between them on the fly to fit your style. Moves will be unlockable and upgradable as you progress through levels. Quick-time events such a ripping apart machines and using the fodder to destroy other enemies have been tweaked to be more than just the missile counter attack throws and tanks smashes of the first game.
