[edit] Inappropriate Tone

This article is simply a mass of opinions and fake reviews. Citing Seanbaby as a good review is simply incorrectly. The article mentioned is for the worst games, and like this entry, is clearly written in a satirical attitude. This article right now belongs more in Uncyclopedia than wikipedia. (At least Uncyclopedia is actually funny, sometimes.)

I agree, the article was apparantly only created to bash the video game instead of providing information for those interested in the game. Although it is true that most reviewers have considered it a terrible game I feel the article should be more focused on the actual game than the reviews it received. This article fails to mention the game's game play and graphics and the story behind its development. Keep in mind although it is not against the rules to provide information on the critical reception a video game receives it is discouraged by Wikipedia. This is a place for factual information given in a neutral tone, not harsh biased opinions given in a satirical one. And your comments on Uncyclopedia are irrelevant Eatspie (talk) 03:49, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] "Reports"

This isn’t a report, it’s a list of user-submitted reviews. I would change “report” to “reviews” myself, but this article is protected for some reason. —Frungi 18:46, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

I just added the catagory Superman arcade and video games, I need Superman 64 to be incorporated.User:TMC1982

[edit] Flaming?

This article seems to only have been created to point out how crappy it is. Can someone add a little more info other than what people thought of it? --Thaddius 14:21, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

No one can add anything since it's locked, not even the category suggested above. ~ Hibana 03:41, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
I suppose you're right... maybe a request can be made to change\add a little more. --Thaddius 14:37, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
Now that it's unprotected, I've moved the immediate panning from the intro to the Reception section and made stubs for the Story and Gameplay. Perhaps honorable editors will fill in the gaps to reduce the article's negative POV. ~ Hibana 00:57, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
Well, good luck, because I can't see how you can reduce the negative POV on this travesty of a game. Brown Bomber 01:28, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
I agree. This is one very poorly put together article. The article needs to describe how the game plays, not list complaints about it. All that opinionated stuff needs to go into the "Reception" section.
Though in the public view it was and is a terribly flawed game in all areas (As an example, 1up.com), most of the frustrations expressed by game reviewers and casual players alike regarded the gameplay. Complaints include the unresponsive controls, monotonous tasks such as flying through rings that the player must endure to progress through the game, a choppy and altogether uneven framerate, and the fog present in large areas presumably to even out the framerate.[citation needed]
What I love about that paragraph, aside from the fact that it's supposed to be the "gameplay" section, is the fact that it talks about how "most of the frustration came from the gameplay" and then goes on about framerates and draw distances. --Foot Dragoon 01:40, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Plan Nine?

It also has little or no good reviews. (Unlike Plan 9 from Outerspace, the worst movie ever made that got reviews saying it was so bad it was good)[1]

That's a rather odd comparison -- too odd, inasmuch as it's irrelevant. I'm taking the liberty of removing the reference. The Dragon of Life 17:53, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Superman 64" title

If the game is not actually titled "Superman 64", why the article named as such? Just64helpin 17:37, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Title Screen? Keiji Dragon (talk) 04:54, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
There are other video games with the title "Superman" or "Superman: The Animated Series". This particular one was released on the Nintendo 64 and is the most notable Superman release for that platform. Compare "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time" → "Zelda 64". 71.126.174.162 (talk) 04:55, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
