Iron Man Demo Smashes on to Marketplace

Neil Christie

Microsoft has done the unthinkable and added two game demos to the Xbox Live Marketplace in one day. In a move not seen for some time, earlier today a demo of Condemned 2: Bloodshot was added and this has been swiftly followed with the addition of a demo of Iron Man.

The 643MB trial version includes a sample of the game's content and promises the ability to customize the superhero's suit before indulging in some battles.

  • Yay
  • I want to try Iron man sweet! ~Peace
  • I want to see the movie so bad.
  • imma have to give it a try
  • wonder if its any good.....
  • I'll DL it and try it out. I'm actually kinda looking forward to the movie. Movie/game releases are often bad, but at least now we can play it first before anyone buys.
  • SWWWWWWEEEET
  • Way more interested in the game than the film. I'll check it out.
  • I tried it out...It's not as bad as I expected it to be. The graphics are decent and it plays fairly well. I may give it a rental.
  • Wicked looking forward to this game,definately gonna download the demo.
  • Iron Man is one of my favorite marvel heroes. I've been waiting for this movie since I heard about it coming out over a year ago. Also just to add on to this article. There's a free episode of Voltron on the XBL marketplace as well today!
  • Sweet. Already got Condemned 2 download. Will get the other one when I'm back to dashboard.
  • i think ima bout to dl it... cant wait 4 da movie :-}
  • Lookin' good!
  • downloaded condemed but there was no ironman demo there wtf?
  • http://www.gaminglagoon.com/?ref=201514
  • Yup played it for a while I actually want the game more.
  • Hmm seems like it might play alot like the transformers game maybe? hmmmm spose the only way to find otu is to download it XD
  • Dammit I just sent off my 360 to get the disk drive fixed today. x_x
  • Awesome! Can't wait to play this game it looks sweet.. the movie looks fantastic as well.
  • the demo is gay they need to stop making these kind of games BIG FUCKING DISAPPOINTMENT
  • No point buying this game at launch. Everyone will buy GTAIV, this will fall in price like a rock, and hit the bargain bins within 3 months. Doesn't really matter how good the game is - against the competition it just doesn't stand a chance.
  • Cool
  • eh, the demo was ok, nothin special, might rent it someday
  • now i can test before buying...
  • I just played the demo its pretty cool
  • Meh. Already finished and loved Condemned 2. Iron Man looks like crap, and movie tie-ins always suck. Plus, I have a personal vendetta against genetically enhanced comic book heroes.
  • I Agree With Avenger It Doesnt Stand a Chance A Pity Really Because This Game looks Really Good
  • me want honey comb, iron man aint genetically enhanced, he's self built
  • Tony Stark only has the thing for his heart, and the rest is just a mechanized suit. No genetic altering on Iron Man. Demo was pretty good, I might get this game at launch or just wait a little for the price drop.
  • just played the demo and loved it :) I WANT MY COPY NOW lol
  • I'll probably buy this off of my friend after he's done with it. I always do that. Instead of them trading it in to gamestop for a miniscule amount of money, I buy it off of them for a few bucks more.
  • meh
  • Parasite009 , i do exactly what you do lol i bought army of two for 30 off my friend , he now wants to sell me guitar hero 3 for 40
  • Not interested in Iron man game (it will be same as any other movie tie-in) but yeah, the movie looks good and yeah, the game will hit bargain bin in 3 months because GTA4 will coming out as the same time as this game.
  • The demo wasn't the best but sure was enjoyable for me. GTA and Iron-Man is already paid off and I eagerly await both.
  • I've been waiting for an iron man demo I was hoping it would come out before the game comes out, cause regardless I'm getting it, but still I'm currently downloading it right now.
  • this is a definite rental, no question. go watch the movie then come home and play the game. it'll be a great iron man weekend.
  • gotta download really looking forward to the movie but games made from movies arent usually good but common its IRONMAN!!!!!!!
  • didn't love the demo. graphics were cool, didnt like controls...assuming more weapons but it was going to be a rental anyway, just not much of a rush now.
  • Games based on movies... what can I say? Apart from a few they are all totally rubbish and going by the demo Iron Man is going to be the same, a load of rubbish!
  • I agree with Darthmushu about the controls. Hopefully there's still some time to tweak the flying before the game is launched (though I realize that's probably not the case). I will definitely be playing the full game at some point.
  • terrible game, bad controls, bad gameplay, bad graphics
  • it sucks. i played it, VERY BAD
  • little better than superman game
  • Game looks good film looks great but will be no competition for gta does anybody know if they are bringing out a gta demo on marketplace before it comes out because it is geting a bit late now
  • Games on nex gen systems r supposed to look good. It doesn't excuse bad gameplay and controls. There r so many crappy games that look great.
  • its not terrible, but it does kinda suck
  • demo kind of lame work a rental tho :)
  • Wow I had a little bit of hope for this game because the achievements weren't terrible but it was just awful. Terrible flying mechanics, boring and repetitive gameplay..not even worth a rental in my book.
  • Letdown
  • UTTER FAILURE. just a demo, i know. but unless this game is an easy 1K that doesn't take more than a day of play, i don't think i'll be playing it. flight sucks, camera is up his ass, combat is basically just hovering in one spot and spamming projectiles.
  • WEAK!
  • just played it im dissapointed
  • i gave up trying to download it after the second hour of it barely moving past 30% i have a frickin awesome connection on my pc yet xbl is allways slow as shit, m$ need to sort that out. other than that what ive read on here seems about right unfortunatly nobody would buy this even if it were the best game ever cz its out the same damn time as gta, im gonna pick it up over the summer during the games draught we allways get.
  • didnt like it, bad controls, pretty shameful graphics, why ud release a demo and put in the desert level to show it off (wow more orange sand) It played like superman returns. Looks like its just another rushed film to game release. which is a shame because if they actually tried with these types of games the result would be be pretty good.
  • its actually pretty nice....most of the graphics is focused on iron man and not the environment or enemies....controls are not bad but could be better...rental for sure
  • its sales are gonna be a bt low thanks to gta iv i reckon
  • i thought the game was garbage
  • I didn't like the demo at all. :(
  • garbage IMO. Rental
  • the game is going 2 be sweet
  • the demo jus gives u a fricken headache worth a rental tho
  • Nope.
  • i can see it now... 6 months after it's release this game will become a greatest hits game then 3 months after that it'll end up in the clearance bin at best buy.
  • the demo sucked my nuts i didnt even finish it... if the achievements are easy i might rent it but thats it
  • I enjoyed the demo it was pretty fun except for having to get used to the controls at first. I'll definitely be looking forward to this.
  • Controls should be switched, but was not too bad.
  • i follow the general rule of never buy a game based on a movie.
