The Man of Steel functions well in getting you to use all of Superman's powers, especially when fighting various types of enemies, because each is susceptible to different powers. Superman can also use supersight to focus in on a specific object, and he has superhearing, which takes the form of an arrow indicator at the top of the screen that either leads you to the next objective within a mission or to where the closest enemy is located. These cutscenes also lead to new missions, in which Superman has to use most, if not all, of his special powers, including superstrength, heat vision, cold breath, and X-ray vision. The story unfolds through cutscenes that aren't all that visually impressive, but you can expect to hear some typical, overly heroic Superman dialogue supplemented by some decent voice acting.
Naturally, Superman is called into action, and in the process of attempting to defeat Braniac 13, he meets up with a few other villains and heroes that have appeared in the Superman comics over the past several years. Braniac 13 eventually returns to Metropolis to harness the nanobots flowing through the city to construct a gargantuan version of itself in the middle of the city. Superman: The Man of Steel continues the storyline introduced in the comic book series, in which Metropolis had been "upgraded" as a result of a plot hatched by Braniac 13 and Superman's longtime adversary Lex Luthor. The Man of Steel is based more on the comic book series. But even with these drawbacks, The Man of Steel is largely successful in harnessing the essence of the comic book by conveying a sense of urgency and by giving Superman enormous environments to roam around as well as plenty of opportunities to use each of his unique powers.
Yet, The Man of Steel shares many of the same problematic traits of its PlayStation 2 counterpart, including poor collision detection, repetitive missions, and a somewhat imprecise lock-on feature that can make certain situations irritating, especially when the clock is ticking.
Not to be confused with the recently released PlayStation 2 Superman game, Superman: The Man of Steel is an entirely new adventure-developed by an entirely different company-that adheres closely to recent events transpiring in the comic book as opposed to the cartoon series.
