  Review: 'Superman Returns' falls flat - CNN.com
Many game designers believe the first 15 minutes of a video game are the most critical.
Superman cannot be damaged, but he must protect Metropolis at all costs -- a small on-screen health meter shows the state of the city, which determines whether you win or lose a mission.
Superman is kidnapped early in the game and must fight robots and other enemies on another planet in a kind of televised gladiator match.

 Superman Returns: The Video Game Hands-On (Xbox 360)
The game is widely recognized as the ultimate stinker, so much so that all of the Superman games that have come out since its release in 1999 have somehow seemed tainted by association.
Superman Returns takes place in the sprawling city of Metropolis (what, you though they'd move to Gotham City?), which in the game is spread out over nearly 80 square miles and is comprised of over 8000 buildings.
Both the game world and the city itself are just as vertical as they are horizontal, as Metropolis is built on what seems to be series of plateaus, each of which is covered with a number of highrises and other buildings.

 Superman Returns Review / Preview for the GameCube (GC)
Gunshy fans are cautiously optimistic regarding the next Superman game slated for a late June release to coincide with the summer blockbuster starring Brandon Routh and directed by Bryan Singer (X-Men, X-Men 2).
Superman looks actually super for once, and is seen lifting something that looks as big as the Washington monument while in flight, during a boss battle with a huge ass robotic boss.
The game is a mere 4 months away, which is insane considering we haven't really seen or heard anything about this game since it was announced years ago.

I could see a lot of potential fun in Superman's abilities - use that x-ray vision to melt enemies or something - but what results is something similar to that old kid's game where you try to match up the shaped blocks and put them in their assigned holes.

 Shacknews - Superman Returns: The Video Game Q&A
Hoping to change the perception of this dastardly breed of video gaming is EA Tiburon's Superman Returns: The Videogame, which is due to release this fall alongside the DVD release of the same movie.
We have managed to incorporate some major villains from the Superman mythology into the game world, to better tie the movie and the history of Superman together; we sort of bridge the gap between them.
The goal of the game is not for Superman to protect himself and defeat the villains, it’s for Superman to defeat the villains and protect METROPOLIS.
