What's more, controlling the metallic superhero in Iron Man 3 feels a little clunky and awkward. The first few times you play Iron Man 3 you'll no doubt be a bit bewildered by all the missions, items to collect, baddies you can shoot, baddies you can't shoot, and the way that Iron Man chooses for himself whether to fly high or low. There's no multiplayer mode as such, though you can pit yourself against others online by comparing your high scores. It's frustrating, but it's a fact of life in these days of 'freemium' gaming models. Without paying your progress is severely hampered and you'll be waiting around a lot for Iron Man to be repaired, or left with not enough capabilities to complete the missions. Like many games these days, Iron Man 3 relies on in-app purchasing to help you progress through the game. There are even daily missions to complete which help you to piece together the story and earn more credits.
There are lots of objects and power-ups to collect that can help you upgrade your suit, purchase new suits (18 in total!) and weapons, and boost your defenses.īesides the goal of traveling as far as you can without dying, there are lots of missions in Iron Man 3 which, if completed, give you rewards such as credits and 'ISO-8', the game's currency. Iron Man 3's gameplay is based around flying over various different levels, dodging obstacles and shooting enemies as you go.
