Summary

Superman Returns is a video game inspired by the film of the same title. It was developed by EA Tiburon and published by Electronic Arts in partnership with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and DC Comics. The game follows the storyline from the movie, which hit theaters on June 28, 2006, and also incorporates over 60 years of comic book material. EA Tiburon, famous for its Madden NFL series, stated that the game blends a strong creative vision with innovative technology to offer players a powerful and emotional experience. Gamers will feel the thrill of flight as they learn to control Superman’s abilities to protect Metropolis. In the game, Superman faces Bizarro, a character not featured in the film, along with other iconic villains such as Mongul. Players can also take control of Bizarro for a limited time in one of the various mini-games included. The game was released for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 2, and Nintendo DS. A version for the PlayStation Portable was initially planned but ultimately canceled due to hardware limitations. Electronic Arts and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment brought together a star-studded voice cast for Superman Returns: The Videogame. The game includes the voice and likeness of Brandon Routh as Superman/Clark Kent, as well as the voices of Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor, Kate Bosworth as Lois Lane, Parker Posey as Kitty Kowalski, and Sam Huntington as Jimmy Olsen, all reprising their roles from the Warner Bros. Pictures film directed by Bryan Singer.
