GameSpot have managed to get their hands on the first screenshots from and information on Infogrames' upcoming Superman game for the Xbox titled: "Superman: The Man of Steel". That's right! One Superman game for the PS2 called "Superman: Shadow of Apokolips" and another Superman game for the Xbox!The article is written by GameSpot's Giancarlo Varanini. Here's an excerpt...
As Superman, players will be able to fly around the city of Metropolis in order to prevent Brainiac's army of robots from doing any harm to the citizens. They'll have access to all of Superman's special abilities, such as super strength, heat vision, ice breath, X-ray vision, and others. Of course, Superman will also be able to use a basic assortment of punch combinations when engaging in close-range combat with enemies. All these powers will come into play as Brainiac starts to attack the city by damaging buildings, causing train accidents, and putting citizens in danger.
In addition to Metropolis, Infogrames plans to include other locales from the comic book such as the Phantom Zone and Warworld. Superman: The Man of Steel is currently in development at Circus Freak Studios and its scheduled for release in the fall.
