Surprisingly solid gameplay mechanics make up for a disappointingly dull presentation and a paint-by-numbers story. This may actually be the most fun game where you can play as Superman. I love that you can unlock alternate costumes including the mulleted Superman from 90s comics (complete with mullet physics!).

It's just such a drag that you can't choose who you play as throughout the game (unlike the Marvel Ultimate Alliance games) and that you're beholden to whoever the mediocre campaign casts as your protagonist. It gets so boring bonking giant bees over the head as Zatanna when you want to get back to playing as Superman or the Flash.

Still, a lot of potential and fun to be had.
