Review: 'Superman Returns' falls flat

Apparently, Superman isn't so super, at least in the games world. This just in from CNN.com:

"Many game designers believe the first 15 minutes of a video game are the most critical. First impressions are important when a new video game can run as much as $60 a pop.

"While Electronic Arts' latest -- 'Superman Returns: The Videogame' -- certainly grabs your attention right from the get-go, the excitement of flying and fighting as the Man of Steel slowly fizzles out.

"For about the first hour, the game is a superhero-sized success, but you soon realize the game is better on style than substance."
