Superman 64, after playing the game and reading the remarks made about this game - I question the existence of Titus why it was made!
Alright, on with the Review:
Graphics: Eye-bleeding! Don't look at them!
Controls: Don't start with me - they are slower than Molasses to make Supe perform his punches! Even the Multiplayer controls are near-unfinished!
Sound and Music: Ugh, don't question me -uninspiring; The Superman theme is nonexistent! Sound is low-budget, voice/acting is from the series but I'm definitely not in love with either them or this game!
Plot: Lex Luthor has trapped Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen and Prof. Hamilton in a virtual world with Kryptonite fog in it and Supe has to go in and rescue them while putting down the Super-Villains Luthor purposely put there.
Fun Factor: This is not fun! For one, neither I nor my brother can beat the first level. Supe both flying and running moves slow - if you try to fly: You'll have only ten-percent control over it! Not to mention the objectives you do are only for monkeys, you've got a timer for most of your objectives, this game is repetitive above all else, you have a health meter, a meter for all of your special abilities minus flying and you're gonna have to really try to get over your anger and impatience to beat this game!
And so: This is one of the worst games I've played, it literally ruined the Superman experience, pick up Spider-Man for the PSX, N64 or Dreamcast and enjoy the greatness it has to offer!
-J. Garten

Deserves the Turkey award!!!!

This game was soooo bad, I took it immediately back to the game store where I got it from. I got it since I am a Superhero fan, but trust me, even if you are a diehard fan of Superman, resist the urge to purchase this game or trade for it or even accept it for free!!!!! This is one of those noway games that should be thrown in the microwave and have the molecules in it to be melted for good.
When i first turned the game on, the people in the first level looked like an oil painting. And it is nearly impossible to fly through those rings!!! Miss one ring and words show up that say,"Lex wins" and you hear a really bad reproduction of baldy's laugh.
I put two stars for this being a fun game because it is so much fun to laugh at!!! I wonder why DC let Titus make this horrific game!!!! 'sob'


Video game

The Best Worst Game Of All Time

I'm not giving this game 5 stars for being good

I'm giving it 5 stars, as the worst videogame in history

This legendary game is so horrible; it's a collector's item
I have to say there is talent into making this game, because you need talent to make a game this bad

It takes no work without any determination to produce a game so horrible! The graphics are the worst by far of any game around it; the game play is astonishing(ly bad)! There's no other game in comparison that even amounts to the level of suck it produced.

5-5 because it tumbles over 0 and goes right back to 5, as the best worst game of all time

They would have to pay me to play this game again

Nintendo power voted it the worst game ever

Gamestop and spot hate it

I was unfortunate enough to stumble upon this game at my local video store. I thought "superman, I'll have to try that". I have never seen a game more deserving of the following: THIS IS THE WORST GAME EVER! IT DESERVES TO BE BURNED!!! IT IS A DISGRACE TO INTELLIGENT BEINGS EVERYWHERE! MAKIND SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF ITS POOR ABILITY TO CREATE GAMES! IT IS UTTERLY POINTLESS! IT MAKES SOUTH PARK LOOK LIKE SHAKESPEARE! IT MAKES ALIEN HOMINID SEEM EASY AND SOPHISTICATED!

Somewhere far, far away, Superman weeps.

Astonishing!!!

this game really is Astonishing. I give 1 star(oh if there was only lower) to the game itself, and a 5 star(truly deserving the best score) to the people who risked their lives to play this game. This game is...uncomprehindle its SO BAD!!!! the best way i can show you what i think is to go by sections so I dont get confused.

Chapter1 the graphics: well... it looks about as if you gave a 2 year old 3 colors told him to draw a picture of superman and use exactly what he drew. you cant make out the faces of the people...actually you can barely tell they are people!

Chapter2 sound: HELP ME!!!!! THIS SOUND IS MOST REPETITIVE THING IN THE WORLD!!!!!! about 5 notes throughout all the levels... AAAAAAAH!!!

Chapter3 plot: To save your friends from Lex's virtual world. thats it.

Chapter4 gameplay: well....its hard to describe. as sombody once said "Superman 64 is a unique game! What a freespirited hero!!! he does what he wants when he wants! he doesnt care a bit about what you TELL him to do with that stupid controller." and i agree with it 100%. And when he obeys its super super sensitive to the point where you miss all of lex's virtual rings. and by the way if you miss 4 rings or run out of time on lex's ring mazes superman (im asuming) gets depressed and "Lex Wins". if you lose on a ring maze lex wins. if you lose on a mission lexs wins. if you run out of time "Lex wins" and its so repetitive you want to kill yourself. LEX WINS ALL THE FREAKING TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chapter5 comments: all of the titus staff deserve to be shot. Nintendo's worst choise was to publish this game. but nintendo should know better!!!! here's my theory:
One night the stressed out testers are playing at three A.M. are half asleep have 5 oclock shadows and are about to kill themselves. They say in great distress "get me a coffee and ill pubish the game!"
And my theory for titus making a game so entirely bad is:
last day till superman 64 is due, and they havent started. they deside to throw in ring mazed every other level, and not bother fixing the glitches because they assume nobody is gonna run into the wall and go through the lvl. lets get that baby over there to do the animation, and get somthing catchy and ply it throughout the whole game over and over. that will do good.
the game has 3 major quotes:
"If you want to save your friends solve my maze!" Lex
"There's no time to waste!" Superman
"Lex wins" Lex
all you will hear thousands of times... Any review that says its good dont listen to it! im 99% sure that its a prank to ruin a special occasion and waste your money!!! dont buy this game!!!!!
Thanks for Reading! =)
a special thanks to the brave souls who played through this game to get me this info.

stuper man

wow, what a awful game. I mean it's not even kind of fun. ok so you look at the game and it has superman on it so you think,"it can't be that bad," but when you play it your eyes will bleed. so when you start playing it you see lex standing there and your "friends" are in front of this portal and dissapear into his virtual world, and then with no transition you start playing and lex says "if you want to save your friends solve my maze!" (by maze he means rings that you have to fly through) and if you miss like 3 rings it says Lex Wins! and that means you lose and you have to start over. at the bottom of the screen when lex wins it says "press button A to restart" who says button A? ok your in a virtual world right? but superman feels like he should save a virtual person from virtual danger and if you don't superman gets his feelings hurt or something and lex wins. Finaly I get to a level where you get a power, but you can't use them unless you have a power up and even then it runs out! The controls are simply the worst I've ever seen, ever. superman could make a kryptonite statue easier than using theese controls, if you bearley touch the control stick superman flys out of control and for some reason flails his arms out when doing so and when ypu walk you can only walk forwards and backwards so you have to change views all the fricken time! When I paused the game to look at the controls I look at what they put to brake when flying and when I looked at it they spelled it "break!" can you guys even fricking spell! and worse still superman can die! the game is so glichy I ran out of a level! if only the score went lower

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....

Best. Game. Ever.

S64 is way better than your fancy GBA games. Its superman! What more can we ask? Pinpoint graphics. Amazing Sound. And powerful AIO this game is a ultimate challenge. Not even Green rocks can beat it.
