We received word from Gameloft today that their newest title, Iron Man2, will be released to co-incide with the release of the film. Given the great job they did with their other recent movie tie-in, Avatar I was eager to get a glimpse at this game. Thankfully, Gameloft were kind enough to provide us with some small snippets of information to help tide us over until it’s released.
Rocket into action as Iron Man or War Machine in the official movie game.
Now an international hero, Tony Stark is the top weapons contractor for the government, and a top target for his enemies with their own vicious weaponry. Run, hover and soar at will thanks to easy-to-learn controls as you battle with your fists and advanced firepower. Go head-to-head against Ultimo, Firepower, Whiplash and armies of massive mechanical foes in nine locations created in full 3D. You’ll need Iron Man’s Mark IV, Mark VI, Stealth and Underwater suits to survive and unlock all 25 achievements on Gameloft LIVE!
Features:
Ӣ The official iPhone/iPod touch game of the most anticipated film of the year.
Ӣ Battle across 9 locations recreated in full 3D, from Stark Expo in New York to Somalia.
Ӣ Play as either Iron Man or War Machine as you fight famed super foes like Ultimo, Firepower and Whiplash.
”¢ Unleash Iron Man’s famous weaponry like Repulsors and the devastating Unibeam on a wide array of enemies.
Ӣ Upgrade your powers and become even more devastating after each stage.
”¢ Get charged for battle with a powerful rock metal soundtrack including the rock classic, “Iron Man”.
Ӣ Connect to Gameloft LIVE! and unlock 25 achievements.
A rather interesting thing to note here is that as the game is being released alongside the film, that actually means (as far as we can make from the information provided by Gameloft) that the game will hit the UK and Switzerland on 26 April but won’t hit the US, Germany or Austria until 03 May. Gameloft didn’t say when the game is due to hit the rest of the world, presumably it will depend on the release date of the movie in whichever country you happen to reside in. This seems a strange move to us and we’re seeking clarification on this and will update you accordingly.
Suffice to say, we’re interested to see if this plays as well as the more recent Gameloft offerings and will provide a full review once the game has been released. Iron Man 2 is stated to cost £3.99 / $6.99
