larger article

Shouldn't be made more larger. I mean you don't see Spider-Man 3 the game article being a stub do you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.245.213.146 (talk) 08:47, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yea but spidey 3's been out for a couple months now. Iron man only came out a couple days ago. --CrazyOmega (talk) 23:55, 4 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No exclusive character on Wii

Once again the Wii gets the shaft in crossplatform games. At least it's INCLUDED this time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.122.63.142 (talk) 14:41, 28 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Irongame.jpg

Image:Irongame.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

question

will this game have free-roaming?--Lbrun12415 20:15, 4 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

unfortuantlly no, but it will allow you fly all over the place.--CrazyOmega (talk) 23:55, 4 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

this is from the site "Based on the blockbuster movie by Marvel Studios, Iron Man blasts onto all major gaming platforms May 2008. Immerse yourself in hardcore shooting action and explosive combat from the film as well as exclusive content created just for the game. With freedom to move anywhere in the environment, customize your Iron Man suit and seamlessly transition between ground combat and open air flight as you battle against armies of fighter jets, tanks, armored Super Villains and more. You are a One Man Army. You are Iron Man." I think it is free-roam .--Lbrun12415 00:28, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yea it looks so doesn't it. But from what i saw in the trailer, and the few reviews that are out, it apeears the indivdual levels are really big, but you can only move about those levels. It's a linear game. —Preceding unsigned comment added by CrazyOmega (talk • contribs) 23:23, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

True "free-roaming" games are pretty much limited to sandbox titles like Oblivion, since it's quite difficult to implement an engrossing and powerful storyline when the player can simply leave any time he or she feels like. So it's probably more like a half-and-half solution - not as free as Oblivion, but more free than Half-Life 2. Think Deus Ex style freedom - you're welcome to do whatever you feel like on the given mission map you're currently in, but there's no transitioning to the next area until you've completed the objectives. --Blanurozgu (talk) 22:19, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

poorly written

It's almost comical at how poorly written this article is. "Sega has purchased rights from Activision for the game and it has developed it." "You can also upgrade the iron man suit by doing missions and getting money to buy the upgrade." "TeamXbox gave a turd" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.22.46.236 (talk) 09:15, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

hulk in this game ??

Lol dude, that pictures been photoshopped.--CrazyOmega (talk) 23:25, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

System requirements?

Since the game is released for PC, are we going to add system requirements somewhere? I'm still new here, so I don't exactly know how adding that kind of thing works... --Blanurozgu (talk) 22:13, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Other versions

I'm the guy who have added the plot, characters and bonus features sections. But all the content I added is from the PS2 version, and I noticed that the next-gen versions have some different content. If someone here have one of this versions, please add more content and correct me if I did something wrong ('cause I'm Brazilian and my Englih is not so good). I think this game is good and it deserves a good article. Iron Man Gamer 00:43, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Armor section

I reverted the armor section back to describing all the armors you can unlock because I think it is an interesting topic to have and because this article needs more information. PlayFreebirdNow (talk) 02:35, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not a gameguide Fin ©™ 18:34, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Possibly the dumbest argument I have ever heard. Are all wikipedia users fags or just you? The Wikipedia is not a gameguide retardedness doesn't even apply here. It's not telling you how to unlock the armors, just what they are. Or should we delete the characters and stories too? THOSE ARE IN GAME GUIDES!!! Fucking moron. Well, look at it now. Now it should be fine with you, right, fucking faggot? PlayFreebirdNow (talk) 12:08, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Take a chill pill. My mistake, perhaps it should have been no game trivia, item 6 instead. Also, your revision "You can also unlock several armors. I would list them, but wikipedia users are total fags and think it doesn't belong in the article. Sorry." is in the wrong prose (1st person), doesn't really contribute to the article, violates npa and is misleading (it's guidelines that state it shouldn't be in the article), so I reverted it. Thanks! Fin ©™ 12:34, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't care. Unless you remove the entire bonus features portion of the article, the armor information is related to the article. PlayFreebirdNow (talk) 18:57, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There's a minor reference to the unlockable armors in the article, I think that's all that's needed for the moment anyway. Thanks! Fin ©™ 22:41, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Different gameplay from one version to another?

I saw a Youtube review that basically says that the PS2/PSP/Wii/PC version is different both in graphics and in gameplay from the Xbox 360/PS3 version. Is this true? Is the gameplay different? Devil Master (talk) 17:59, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, they are different but don't prefer the Xbox 360 and PS3 version because they are worst than the other versions. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.53.121.248 (talk) 15:09, 16 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

PC version not catered for in critical reception

Despite being generally considered one of the worst (if not the worst) out of the lot (my pov from reading reviews), the PC version is not mentioned at all in the critical reception section. This is somewhat of an oversight given that the article should be comprehensive. I reverted an earlier mention from the official SEGA forum for this product on the PC version's complaints (where else will fans officially complain that can be referenced?) and added an expandsection for PC reviews. Seemingly TPTB think that we don't need this as a PC starting point (fair enough, the refs were contentious), but to not need any further expansion in this section is frankly as appalling as the game is!

Brownb2 (talk) 00:13, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Like I've said on your talk page, it's fine to add verifiable sources, something forums are not. I should've left the expand tag while reverting however, my mistake. Fin ©™ 01:53, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually it was my revert that removed the expand-section template, sorry about that. --Silver Edge (talk) 04:43, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

redundant critical reception section

ALL versions were basically panned, and for the same reasons. There really doesn't need to be seperate paragraphs for different versions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.249.135.131 (talk) 22:50, 14 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This article is a disaster

Primarily leaving a talk entry so I remember to come back and fix this later because this has to be one of the worst non-stub Wikipedia articles I've seen in some time. Kac Calhoon (talk) 17:05, 26 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
