Superman Returns (PS2, Nintendo DS, Xbox, Xbox 360)

Herald rating: * *

Pros: The highlights are Superman's super-human powers, such as running at warp speed and soaring high over Metropolis.

Cons: A jumble of repetitive missions with no coherent story line.

Verdict: A rich comic book legacy, a blockbuster movie to plunder for material and still Superman Returns ends up the worst video game adaptation since Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Censor's classification: PG
