Out of all the games I own, this is by far the WORST. Unfortunately, I didn't read any reviews of the game prior to purchase. Usually, I rent the game before buying it, but I broke my own rule and bought it first. The graphics are so-so at best, and it is so BORING it makes you want to do anything else BUT play it. The last thing you want to do is continually fly through RINGS for no reason. There must be something else they could've done with this. I feel as though I was ripped off. Too bad DC Comics allowed Titus to use the Superman name on this lousy, boring, rip off. They should all be ashamed.

The Man of Steel is kind of weak

I would strongly recomend that no one buy this game. The fact that it is boring almost outshadows how poorly designed it is. If you feel you must control the Man of Steel, rent it first.

Worst Game Ever

When I heard Nintendo was coming out with superman I got all excited, then they delayed the release date, which usually means the game is going under even more improvements. When I bought Superman I sped all the way home, turned off my phone and sat in my chair. To my suprise, this game is not worth the plastic it's made of. I don't even have one good thing to say about it. I was extremely disappointed. Superman used to be cool.

The Man of Steel.....OD'd on Kryptonite

Unlike other reviewers, I rented this game, yes even tho it had Superman on the cover and everything. I am so glad that I didn't buy it.

Superman for the N64 is based on the animated cartoon series that you probably can find on Saturday morning. The plot of the game is that Lex Luthor has trapped Superman's friend's in a 'virtual' Metropolis, and of course Superman has to go forth and save them.

The only power that you have when you start the game is flying. There is no heat vision, X-ray vision, or ice breath, there isn't even superspeed! On top of that Superman even has a health bar! This wouldn't be so bad if explosions and bullets did not reduce this health bar, causing this Superman to die!

The graphics are obviously based on the artwork found in the animated series, but they are horrible. Buildings are bland, made up of shades of blue and grey, and there seems to be this never ending fog! The graphics look as if they are from the Playstation or even the SNES!

Faster than a speeding bullet? Nope. More powerful than a locomotive? Not even close. Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound? In this Superman's dreams! Look up in the sky! It's a bird (that can't fly)! It's a plane (that crashed on the runway)! Its Superman for the Nintendo 64!

I'm glad I did not buy this

This has to be the WORST game for Nintendo 64 I have seen in a LONG time. You can hardly even play it because the controls are so horrible and it's just plain BORING. When I saw this at Blockbuster I thought it would be really fun to play. When I actually started playing it, I put the controller down after 10 minutes of trying to make Superman do much of anything at all and I shut off the system. I'm glad I wasted $5 intead of [the full price] on this game.

Guaranteed to infuriate you in five minutes or less!

First off, allow me to take a deep breath...

Of course this is going to be a very late review but this is a particular item that heavily deserves this type of attention. Before I go into my description, allow me to cast some clarity on a matter that needs desperate attention as well. For the individuals known as 'Siberian', 'Shaqfu' 'Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego or whatever your name is' and a the multiple 'a gamer' fellows, listen. There are doctors out there who can help you. With the technology and advancement we have today, your cases cannot be so far-fetched that you all must continue to live the miserable lives that you do. Perhaps you cannot resist being pathological liars or even megalomaniacs, but by reading the reviews each of you casted, you need help. It is probably safe to assume that you haven't any friends either as no true friend would allow you to make such idiots of yourselves with such horrid reviews as each of you gave on this pathetic excuse of a video game. But if all of you honestly felt that you were given thorough and complete reviews, then you are afterall simple-minded morons.

Now that I am done trashing them, onto this game. I have relatives that played this game that told me about their experiences. I believe they played it for about five minutes before yanking it out of the console and tossing it on the floor. Followed by taking it back to wherever they rented it, getting a refund and insulting it to or with whoever would listen too. After everything I have read, not just on this site but on others, it seems that it would be safe to say that this item was much the absolute worst video game in history. One particular website or gaming magazine gave it a 1.3 out of a possible 10. Undoubtedly the worst rating I've ever seen. Last year on the G4 TechTV awards, there was a greatest and worst video game moment provided. I don't quite recall everything well enough but other than this Superman game being nominated, there was a Star Trek game and another I cannot remember. This game won the award for being the worst game ever made followed by flashing 'YOU SUCK!' captions on the TV. Naturally Titus was insulted for days, weeks and even months thereafter. The graphics, gameplay, sound and all around structure may very well be the absolute worst you will have ever seen in a video game. It probably shares the same of entertainment today as what E.T. for the atari would and is to games what Streetfighter starring Jean-Claude Van Damme was to movies. A lowly, poor, pathetic insult that people will continue to recall and feel disgust in. Nothing about this game is anywhere near being decent. It was obviously made in a hurry and is flooded with mistakes, glitches and graphical problems. It never should have been made, but perhaps, on a final note, to those of us that have a copy of this 'item', maybe it should be kept somewhere safe, as a reminder that mankind can still create things of a disastrous and vile nature, other than the nuclear bomb.

You Will Never Forget This Game!

In "Kill Bill: Vol. 2", David Carradine described Superman as follows, "Not a very good comic; not particularly well-drawn." Well, I suppose if Caine from Kung Fu is talking about this character, then the game must be cool too, right? It's been almost 10 years since Titus released the most unorthodox game to ever grace our solar system. It must be good, since we're still talking about all these years later.

Seriously, there's a lot to like about SUPERMAN 64. You won't need any sort of defect warranty, because the second you flip the POWER switch, it works every time. It's refreshing to buy an electronic device, knowing that it's electrical circuits will never fail you.

Equally cool is that Superman flies in this game...I like it when he flies. Every time I pop in this cartridge, I'm even more eager to watch the Christopher Reeve movies...all 4 of them.

The plot is revealed to the gamer with great restraint. You see, there are bizarre, murky images that even David Lynch or Stanley Kubrick wouldn't be able to visualize. For example, Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen are confined to, um...a blurry contraption that kidnaps them; or does it imprison them? I personally couldn't tell if it was really Jimmy and Lois, because it's very hard for the gamer to completely understand the cutscenes. But isn't it neat to figure it out for yourself? You see, because the graphics are so confusing and blurry, you get to keep playing again to unearth the game's secrets. And don't worry about completing SUPERMAN 64 in a short period of time, either. It's a tough game, and there are few games that equal its challenge.

What's most remarkable is how the game also addresses Superman's emotional state. I'm sure Kal-El struggles to use his powers properly; it's not easy for a near-invincible alien to do the right thing 24/7. Titus has tackled this concept very faithfully. You see, when Superman flies, he won't always do what the N64 Controller tells him to do. A free-spirited main character...brilliant!

Lastly, Superman's powers are present here. He has his eye-lasers and wind/freeze breath. That's always neat, huh? But what's even more most fascinating is that The Man of Steel --- according to this game --- has the ability to manipulate the physical dimensions in which he exists. He sometimes will be flying casually through the sky, and then have a sudden urge to fly through the buildings of Metropolis. How cool is that? On the other side of this spectrum, there are moments where Superman will get stuck in a wall or a drainage ditch......you know, I still haven't figured out how to beat those sections of the game. I wonder, is there a higher power known only to Superman? I ask, because Titus refuses to give us easy answers to this puzzling N64 entry. The most gifted scientists, researchers, cryptologists, artists, and gamers will not be able to solve this enigma.

SUPERMAN 64 is one of the most unforgettable and original experiences in all of gaming!

*****THIS REVIEW WAS MEANT TO BE SARCASTIC AND SATIRICAL. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BUY THIS GAME!*****

Possibly The Worst Game Ever Created

Videogames simply do not get worse than Superman 64. The game is poor in EVERY aspect. How it got the Nintedno Seal of Quality is beyond me. Just picture horribly created polygon models. Models so poor that they look like 2D sprites. Each character is poorly animated and looks very choppy when in motion. Then there is the fog, the horrible fog. In every level indoor and outdoor there is thick white fog that allows you to see just a few feet. It makes Metropolis look awful as you cannot see anything! There is even fog underwater. The fog is there to keep the game moving fast, but to be honest the game runs with framerates that are sometimes as fluid as a slideshow, not to mention the slow pace that the Man of Steel moves at. Running is tedious. Flying is faster but still very slow. Simply, Superman is a sub-par effort in every category which ranks as one of the worst videogames ever. Should you spot the box containing this horrible excuse for a videogame, do yourself a favor, turn and run away... fast.

Not just horrible, horrific!

Dear God, what did the Nintendo 64 do to deserve this? "Superman" is one of the worst games to disgrace the video gaming business! What makes this even sadder is that it was delayed for about two or three years! Two or three years to make this game something worthy, and it still turns out to be trash. The graphics are just bad, everything looks flat. There's plenty of fog, the controls are the worst ever! When I played this game, it took me several taps of the Z button to get Superman to land on his feet, and I waited awhile before he did anything. The first level will quickly turn you off, as you have to fly through rings in Lex Luthor's virtual version of Metropolis. What makes things worse about that is that you have to do something that'll take you about 10 seconds to do when you only have 5 or 4 seconds to pull your task off, then you have to start all over. In one level, you have to get a police automobile safely across the road without having the terrorists destroy it. You have four seconds to do this, and because of the lack of control that this game has, it's almost impossible to do this. Don't buy this game. This game shouldn't even be on shelves anywhere, not even in rental shelves! When will I mention any good comments on Superman? I'm not! Why? Because there's nothing good to say about this game! What makes me want to destroy the game is when I repeatedly fail and fail the first stage, and I have to put up with Superman's annoying introduction, "Then there's no time to waste." Well, Titus took their sweet time making this game fail.

All i know.....Don't get it!!!

Hey!!! want a good game?? stay away from here!!! let me list why this game is a little on the COMPLETE CRAP SIDE!!!!!!!!!!!! Controlls: Super Sensitive Movement, terrible button selection and no moving diagnally!!!!!!(when running that is) Graphics: Well...First of all the landscape is flat...not like grassy plains but the buildings, and everything (except the occasional skyscaper, and water about every 5 minutes) is just flat... The graphics suck SO BAD that they made the excuse of "Crytonite Fog" so you cant see right(what a coinsidence) The "Shadow Assasins" which are solid black people....as in black clothes, solid black skin, black eyes, no shadows but solid black.... highly skilled animators you see.... The game itself(gameplay,plot,ect.): Well....the plot is to save your friends from Lex's virtual world...and when you start playing the game the first thing you hear is,"If you want to solve my maze!!!" by Lex Luthor. When he says "His maze" he really he means every other level fly through more rings untill (the farthest i've seen) is 30 minute long continuous ring maze! but wait there's more!!!! Miss 3-4(not even in a row...total) and you start over at the very start...everytime....and superman says,"There's No time to waste" and if your a good gamer than in a max of 10 minutes you'll have missed about 3-4 rings and then suddenly hear Lex Luthor laugh and than the screen says "Lex wins!" and you start over. But dont worry, because after every ring maze you get a random time limit (occasionally instant "Lex Wins") to save virtual people in lex's virtual world so they dont lose their FREAKING VIRTUAL LIVES!(but if you lose you start over at the start of the ring maze before). In about an hour your gonna brake your N64... Its SO BAD that in the occasional level you can walk through the walls. One comes into mind instantly: When you need to save the "Virtual Miners" by disarming the bomb and killing some evil lady you can walk through the wall, skip the miners,bomb, and go strait to the boss...but the level has a time limit thanks the the virtual bomb and once you beat the lady(Most likely your using cheat codes if you've already beat about 4 stupid mazes) the bomb explodes and..again.. Lex Wins.. I'm pretty dang sure nobody...including the hired testers(which probably quit in less than 1 day) but Tyson(the Game makers)knows the ending..... All i can say is dont ruin a Birthday, Christman, or any occasion with this game....IT MAY LEAD TO SUICIDE!!!!!! Thanks for reading the truth of Superman 64...or all of the crap i know...you never know whats in those Beastly Virtual Worlds.... Like Lex's....
