Discussion Death and Return of Superman screenshots
Join your all time favorite superheroes, Superman, Superboy, The Man of Steel, The Man of Tomorrow, The son of Krypton, and Doomsday in the Death and Return of Superman. In this beat em’ up style video game, the player must defeat enemies that are armed with guns, bombs, or chainsaws. You, as the player, take on a pre-determined Superhero that have your basic skills and abilities such as punches, grappling attacks, throws, grab and throw upward, grab and throw backward, grab and pummel, a projectile attack, or an “ultimate” attack that will destroy all of the standard enemies that appear on the screen. Some heroes can fly, giving them the ability to avoid or conquer in battle or overcome various obstacles. On some levels, you will have to fly. There are also times, however, where elevated platforms will not allow you to use your flying ability. Although there may be a “boss” character on the standard melee levels, you will not find one on the flying levels. As the game advances, characters can be armed with a more powerful energy type of weapon and you will face robots rather than your typical melee character. This single player video game released by Blizzard Entertainment, is compatible with Super Nintendo and Genesis, and is for children and adults over 13 years of age.
Game Reviews
The game loosely follows the events of the Death of Superman starting from the time that the Underworlder's take over the Metropolis Power Plant to Superman's return and defeat of the Cyborg. Other heroes such as Green Lantern, Supergirl, and the Justice League are omitted from the game and other notable enemies such as Mongul are also missing from the plot. While an image of an unpowered Superman is present in the game, the player never gets to battle with Superman in this form.
Events that take place in the game are: the Underworlder's attack on the power plant, Doomsday's appearance and defeat/victory against Superman (Doomsday is twice fought against as a boss character), the Cyborg's assault on Cadmus to retrieve the body of Doomsday, the battle between the Eradicator and Steel, the destruction of Coast City and the subsequent fight between the Eradicator and the Cyborg, Superboy's fight against the Cyborg, Steel's assault on engine city, Superboy's assault on the missile bound for Metropolis, Steel's destruction of the engine, and finally Superman's final battle with the Cyborg.
CHARACTER PROFILES
SUPERMAN The greatest hero of all time, Superman guards Metropolis and the world against all evil forces.

This game is really cool! If you read the comics of superman's death and like them, then how would you feel if you could watch and play them? If you would feel good, then this game is Highly Recommended to you, unlike some games and movies, this game is exact to the comic and has some of the exact lines from the actual comic books. This game is Highly Recommended by me, JGCD!
