Finally a look at some game play here. The game looks like it could be easy and/or repetitive. I hope there are some more varied missions instead of flying around, targeting, and then doing some more of that. It also seems like Ironman is un-fucking-stoppable. Either way, a demo soon would be awesome and would help ease some concerns.
Here is a taste of what it will be like to be Tony Stark in his brand spanking new Mark III suit. We here at Loot Ninja really hope this is one of the few movie based games that doesn’t want to make us vomit with rage. Ironman FTW.
Sega announced that they will not skimp out on voice acting on their upcoming Iron Man game, as they will use the actors from the movie to voice the game as well. So expect to hear some Robert Downey and Terrence Howard on your console, which I think this will be a nice touch for the game. Interestingly enough, this game is also scheduled to come out the same day as the movie. Typically, video games based on movies come out before the movie to try and cash in, but perhaps this one will be good enough to stand on it’s own merit?
SAN FRANCISCO & LONDON (March 20, 2008) –SEGA® of America, Inc., SEGA Europe Ltd., and Marvel Entertainment, Inc. announced today that the Iron Man™ video game, based on the successful Marvel comic book series and the upcoming film by Marvel Studios, will feature the voice talents of Robert Downey Jr., Terence Howard and Shaun Toub. All three actors will reprise their onscreen roles of Tony Stark (Downey), Lt. Col. James “Rhodey” Rhodes (Howard), and Yinsen (Toub). The Iron Man video game launches day and date with the blockbuster movie on May 2, 2008.
Hit the jump for the rest of the press release.

Sega sent out a new trailer today for the upcoming Iron Man game, scheduled for release later this Spring. From everything we’ve seen so far, the game looks promising. But there has been a fairly negative record of good superhero games, especially those based upon movies. Only time will tell.
Sega released some new screens today for Iron Man, which is set to hit store shelves in the Spring. The movie is set for release on May 2nd, so I would expect the game to come out right around the same time.
From the initial gameplay videos and the screens, the game looks promising. But we all know how most superhero games turn out. I hope Sega does Iron Man justice.
