Summary: A HORRIFYING MONSTROSITY OF A GAME 0.5 OUT OF 10
Comment: Wow, Superman! This game has earned the lowest review score I have ever given a game (and I've given some rather s***ty scores), and the second lowest score I have given a product I've reviewed. I find it absolutely sickening when some of the people who reviewed this game; like ShaqFu (A guy who named himself after what many people would proclaim as the worst fighting game of all time and one of the worst games of all time, mind you), said that this game was a masterpiece and quote on quote, "This is by far the best game on the N64." WHAT?! You're not serious are you? This is definitely not the best game on the N64, it is without a doubt the worst game to plague the N64. That's like the stupid people who say the that the God-awful Gamecube was way better than the PS2 and Xbox, it's not an opinion, it's the truth that those things suck. To show my love for the N64, instead I will give you a list of my personal favorite N64 titles you should play instead of this:
1. Perfect Dark
2. Starfox 64
3. Conker's Bad Fur Day
4. Resident Evil 2
5. Mario Kart 64
6. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater
7. Spider-Man
8. Star Wars Episode I Racer
9. Road Rash 64
10.Pilotwings 64
11.San Francisco Rush series
12.Goldeneye 007
13.Turok series
etc., etc., etc.
There, go play those instead. Those games are a million times better each than this game will ever be. Now let's talk about the glorious Superman 64 in all of its greatness!
WHAT THE GAME IS: The story seems straight out of an award-winning movie. Superman's friends have been kidnapped by Lex Luthor and thrown into a virtual metropolis. Superman must go save his friends and the world from the evil deeds of Lex. This game feels like a Pilotwings/Beat 'em up/Find the button game.
GRAPHICS: The people who gave this game 5-star reviews said the graphics are amazing. Are they? Why yes, if you think a game that looks like a PSone game made on a budget of $10 or it looks someone vomited Fruity Pebbles all over the TV screen, then yes it does look fantastic. Absolutely mind-blowing especially with the numerous glitches in the environments. The programming work done by Titus is stunning indeed. Superman can go through walls unexpectedly or can stuck in random places and will be unable to move for a brief period of time. Wow, Titus!
MUSIC: The musical score is truly amazing. It's the kind of musical score that makes a person want to drown some kittens when they hear it. I want this composer's hand then slap them across the face and tell them, "Wow, way to suck!"
SOUND: The sound effects seem like they were recorded in a basement. Everything is too quiet or it echoes. Another accomplished feat for the guys who made this game. Even something as simple as sound effects suck.
GAMEPLAY: During my playthrough of the game this is how the missions went; Fly through the rings! Pick up those cars before those people get crushed! Fly through more rings! Pick up that police car and take it to the other side of the road! Fly through more rings! Beat those four thugs armed with guns! Fly through more rings! Use your ice breath to stop those tornadoes from sucking up those people! Fly though more rings! Go into a building! Beat up robots and find a keycard! Insert keycard then go to an elevator to another with even more robots to beat up! Destroy those robots, open those doors, and rescue those people underground! Go disarm bombs, and along the way beat up more robots, a tank, and a woman who has better skills than you do! The repetition goes on and on and on. This game is very repetitive. Extremely repetitive to be exact. And very broken too. Overall, this game plays out like Pilotwings, except you break the controls, and the make the dated visuals even worse.
OVERALL: If you enjoy life and don't wish to pollute the classic N64 stay away from this horrible game. I'm surprised Nintendo didn't do what Atari did with E.T. for the Atari 2600. Destroy thousands of copies and bury them in New Mexico. Worst of all there's a Nintendo Seal of Quality on the box. How did nobody stand up to say, "This game sucks," that's all it would have taken.
THE GOOD: (This category has been left blank for obvious reasons).
THE BAD: Everything. Every single thing is bad about this game.

Summary: Don't even try it...
Comment: Superman 64, after playing the game and reading the remarks made about this game - I question the existence of Titus why it was made!
Alright, on with the Review:
Graphics: Eye-bleeding! Don't look at them!
Controls: Don't start with me - they are slower than Molasses to make Supe perform his punches! Even the Multiplayer controls are near-unfinished!
Sound and Music: Ugh, don't question me -uninspiring; The Superman theme is nonexistent! Sound is low-budget, voice/acting is from the series but I'm definitely not in love with either them or this game!
Plot: Lex Luthor has trapped Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen and Prof. Hamilton in a virtual world with Kryptonite fog in it and Supe has to go in and rescue them while putting down the Super-Villains Luthor purposely put there.
Fun Factor: This is not fun! For one, neither I nor my brother can beat the first level. Supe both flying and running moves slow - if you try to fly: You'll have only ten-percent control over it! Not to mention the objectives you do are only for monkeys, you've got a timer for most of your objectives, this game is repetitive above all else, you have a health meter, a meter for all of your special abilities minus flying and you're gonna have to really try to get over your anger and impatience to beat this game!
And so: This is one of the worst games I've played, it literally ruined the Superman experience, pick up Spider-Man for the PSX, N64 or Dreamcast and enjoy the greatness it has to offer!

Summary: Deserves the Turkey award!!!!
Comment: This game was soooo bad, I took it immediately back to the game store where I got it from. I got it since I am a Superhero fan, but trust me, even if you are a diehard fan of Superman, resist the urge to purchase this game or trade for it or even accept it for free!!!!! This is one of those noway games that should be thrown in the microwave and have the molecules in it to be melted for good.
When i first turned the game on, the people in the first level looked like an oil painting. And it is nearly impossible to fly through those rings!!! Miss one ring and words show up that say,"Lex wins" and you hear a really bad reproduction of baldy's laugh.
I put two stars for this being a fun game because it is so much fun to laugh at!!! I wonder why DC let Titus make this horrific game!!!! 'sob'

Summary: The Best Worst Game Of All Time
Comment: I'm not giving this game 5 stars for being good
I'm giving it 5 stars, as the worst videogame in history
This legendary game is so horrible; it's a collector's item
I have to say there is talent into making this game, because you need talent to make a game this bad
It takes no work without any determination to produce a game so horrible! The graphics are the worst by far of any game around it; the game play is astonishing(ly bad)! There's no other game in comparison that even amounts to the level of suck it produced.
5-5 because it tumbles over 0 and goes right back to 5, as the best worst game of all time
