Superman: Shadow Of Apokolips: Amazon.ca: Computer and Video Games

Product Details

Product Description

From Amazon.ca

Darkseid, the most evil being in the galaxy, has enlisted the aid of Lex Luthor in his quest to destroy Superman and take over the world. By providing Luthor with highly advanced Apokoliptean weapons technology, Darkseid has enabled Metropolis's reigning supervillain to create an army of nearly unstoppable Interbot robots with serious firepower.

Superman: Countdown to Apokolips offers nonlinear, mission-based gameplay that combines action, stealth, and puzzles. Based on Superman: The Animated Series on the Cartoon Network, the game gives you full access to all of Superman's powers as you roam 15 enormous, fully interactive levels brimming with usable objects. The voice acting is provided by the original cast of the animated series, and the sweeping orchestral score is worthy of an epic adventure. The game's supervillains include Livewire, Parasite, and Metallo. An advanced enemy AI makes squad-based tactical decisions in the heat of battle.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best superhero games ever! July 27 2003

By A Customer

I had wanted to play Atari's Superman: Shadow of Apokolips since I learned it would be soon released, and on a whim I purchased it... and I must say that I was highly impressed! It actually feels like I am in an episode of the Superman cartoon. It's quite brilliant! The only draw backs to the whole Superman experience is that some of the villians are some of the more obscure, save Lex Luthor, his bodyguard Mercy Graves and Darkseid, and sometimes there is difficulty using the flying controls. They take quite some time to get used to. But overall, Superman: Shadow of Apokolips is a fantastic adventure well worth the [money] spent to purchase it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Superman: Shadows of Apokolips April 13 2003

Hey guys, if you're considering buying this game, then do it. If you feel a little discouraged because of thinking it will be the same as the superman game for N64 then you're wrong. This game is a lot better. It's a lot easier to fly and you can use super powers more freely. You don't have to find little icons for power and health. They replenish them selves slowly over time. You can also fly faster and maneuver more easily than the other game. The beginning levels are designed to help you learn how to use your powers. Another thing that I like about it is you get to do a level as Clark Kent. You can't use your powers as freely as Clark Kent but it is pretty cool. The only draw back is that there are several points in the game where you have to rapidly press the x button to do something like push the support pins back into a dam and to walk into a strong wind caused by a fan at lexcorp. Other than that it is a great game. So have fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good and fun to play Mar 5 2003

By Joe Fitzpatrick

with the cheats of 'jor el' and 'smallville' for infinite strenght and powers it became more realistic. If you could have 2 player battles, could unlock different superman suits over the years, unlock combos (spiderman movie game), watch superman episodes, have more artwork from over the years, be able to move even faster, like a special move whcih enables 'light speed' flight and movement, be able to run like the 'flash', have more amazing special moves like ultimate twister or somethin..... if you could have all the unlock features .ie. suits, episodes, 2 player, more moves it would be the best game on the plannet...... i really enjoyed completeing it twice and level warping/level attack to fight metallo about 10 times :-)
