I never know what to expect when I get my hands on a Game Boy Advance version of a game that’s designed for a console. Sometimes you get a hidden gem, like X2: Wolverine’s Revenge, other times you get a complete dud, like Superman Returns. Batman: Vengeance doesn’t surpass its big brother on consoles, but…
This game. I’ve been waiting a llllloooonnng time to get my hands on this game. I remember seeing ads with screenshots in them for this game in issues of Electronic Gaming Monthly around the time it was coming out.

This handheld version is an ambitious action-board game hybrid that has a lot of interesting ideas that didn’t quite the…
NOTE: ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED ON COMICBOOKMOVIE.COM 06/23/2013 I can’t think of an odder choice of a developer for a Superman game then the one attached to Superman Returns.

NOTE: ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED ON COMICBOOKMOVIE.COM 06/21/2013 I’ve said this in other reviews, heck I even did one for Superman 64, but Superman 64 is a bad game.
