Superman Returns: Be the bad guy
Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, it’s Superman! Yeah, we got sold on that yarn too. But as Tim Buckley ‘sez right up there, it gets real boring being the good guy in Superman Returns, saving innocent people, defeating the bad guys, launching mind-numbing one-liners, and as “The Bat” puts it, playing the part of the Boy Scout.
And while you can “accidentally” freeze/maim/hurt (Notice: no “Kill”) civilians in the game’s free-roaming GTA-style environment, it just doesn’t feel right terrorizing Metropolis with ‘ol ‘Supes. Now, for the guys intent on letting their evil impulse out on the denizens of Metropolis, we got good news: EA Games has hinted that there’s a cheat hidden somewhere in the DVD, HD-DVD, and Blu-Ray Disk versions of the “Superman Returns” movie. After you find it, fly up to the GNN tower, and activate the cheat, which in turn swaps out your Superman for Bizarro.
The obvious problem is that you need to have the movie, but if all goes well, have fun with the wanton carnage to follow. Too bad it wasn’t Braniac or Clark Kent…that would’ve been awesome…
