The Death and Return of Superman (SNES) Playthrough - NintendoComplete

[@Wolfdragon92584]

I enjoyed this game. Great music, decent graphics, and neat storyline. Only real complaint is the repetition of enemies used. Some levels only feature one or two types at most, disguised as palette swaps.

Actually, the 1988 Superman arcade game by Taito was pretty good.

[@HrvojeGrahovac]

They should start with the masculine 1938 Superman (or at least John Byrne's version of Superman) cause this wuss ass post-1954 one is garbage

[@ElephantMariotheRHDNhater3293]

I remember a guy doing the review for this and he said the music was crap lol, he have no idea wtf he was talking about. The music in this game was incredible for each character you took control of, not a single song sucked.

[@kramalerav]

The music on the Genesis/MegaDrive version is superior, sorry.

[@raijinthemaster88]

@@kramalerav 🤣😂🤣 No the hell it wasn't, the music in the genesis version sounded awful as hell. And some of the songs were on repeat like they were replaying the same track over and over. Sega Genesis did have some songs that were better than the SNES but not this game. Double Dragons and Battletoads was better music wise on the Genesis than the SNES. Maximum Carnage had better music on the genesis than the SNES version.

Uhh...this is...kind of a masterpiece of a game. When you stop and think about it. Imagine a 4-6 player version of this very game. You basically end up with a way more playable and thusly, IMHO, fully realized rendition of the Konami 90's arcade X-MEN game.

[@damienhailey118]

It's very rough around the edges, but you can tell this wasn't some cheap cash-in. The guys who made this game put in some work. Not surprisingly, as it was at least partially Blizzard.

It is a pretty good game, my only complain is that you can't attack multiple enemies at the same time like you can on other beat em up, instead you can only attack them one at a time, so that is very problematic and makes this game tough AND MY GOD THAT ROBOT ENEMY THAT PULLED YOU OVER AND UPPERCUT YOU💀

Supes must be holding back big time, he's just punching away on those thugs and they're just taking it like a champ. I'd think on punch would do it. He also is apparently very weak against moltov cocktails, goes down after one!

[@cwing1028]

@GodZpeed X7 I’m being sarcastic dude

[@travelingjazzman117]

This is a tough game. But it's a pretty good game. What I find interesting is that so many haters say, "Superman is overpowered. He can just do anything. It's an easy win. The game would be over in 2 seconds." However, this game debunks those hater claims because Superman struggles to win in this entire game. The level of difficulty is high. If Superman was overpowered (as the haters claim), then playing as Superman should be an easy win. But in fact, there is no easy winning in this game.

[@raijinthemaster88]

Still wasn't as hard as Maximum Carnage was. You had to refight the same bosses over and over, and if Carnage smacked you even once or twice you died.

[@travelingjazzman117]

@@raijinthemaster88 - Yes, Maximum Carnage was a hard game too. But what does the game "Maximum Carnage" have to do with "The Death & Return of Superman"? Why did you mention it? If someone get's bitten by a rattle snake, would you suddenly say, "Still isn't as bad as being shocked by an electric eel..."?

The Superman arcade game is still probably the best one, especially 2 player as you get to play as a funky red colored Supes. That and the sweet tinny version of the movie theme. This game was a rental for me back then, but man, it was SO friggin' repetitive. I'd say if it was half as long as it is, it would have been a much better game. As is, I just got sick of it and never finished it. I did appreciate it having some obscure DC characters, though, like Rambeau and Clawster.

Superman is doomed in game form because he's the reverse of Batman. Batman is a man who is at constant risk of death, Superman stands as a symbol of strength and invincibility to all Earth...but because of that, it's difficult to find things that can kill him in game form.

[@RoyStantz]

For many years now, the real reason everyone thinks that all the Superman video-games suck is because none of them "capture the spirit of the character". Now, I'm not a programmer, but to tell you the truth, a game that captured the spirit of Superman would be really boring as hell. Here's what a real Superman game would be like: You fly around beating up everyone and not taking any damage, then Lex Luthor shows up with a load of Green Kryptonite, and you automatically lose. The End. Does that sound like a fun game? No, it doesn't. I understand that people think a game where you get to be the real Superman would be fun, but it's not possible. A video-game needs to have difficulty, and you need to be able to lose. Of course, if you *REALLY* want to feel like Superman, then get a Game Genie, Action Replay, or Game Shark, put in an invincibility code, and presto, you're the invincible, *REAL* Superman, and all the fun and challenge is gone.

[@Magitek1112]

There are games where you can play as the "real" superman. Like Superman Returns, where you're invincible, but have to protect the city instead (since it has a health bar), or the Lego Batman games.

[@d_valroth]

@@Magitek1112 Totally agree. You can make a game with an invincible Superman, if the whole point is needing to protect the world of cardboard he lives in. He's bulletproof, 99% of the residents of Metropolis are not. Or alternatively just face him off against Parasite/Kryptonite Man/Amazo/Hank Henshaw/Metallo/Mongol/Darksied where his health bar is a legitimate thing.
