Here you can replay any level you have completed. To do this you must have a memory card with saved games on it in MEMORY CARD slot 1. First select a saved game; then select a level from that game.

HOW TO PLAY
As the Superman: Shadow of Apokolips game progresses and the story unfolds, Superman must tackle a variety of situations, which come in the form of objectives. Sometimes there will be a number of objectives to deal with at once, other times completing one objective reveals a new one.
If you're unsure of what to do next, press START to see your current objectives. Pay close attention to any cut-scenes, which provide you with important clues to help you unravel the Metropolis mystery.
At all times, Superman must ensure the safety of the innocent. Whether this means rescuing people from danger or removing the source of danger, this is his clear priority at all times.
Superman will encounter much opposition at times. However, force is not always the best course of action. Superman's powers provide him with many options for dealing with disaster beyond brute force. Sometimes it's wiser to stop and think about how you could defuse the situation safely rather than rush headlong into a fight.
HOW TO FAIL
There are a number of ways that Superman can fail in his quest to protect Metropolis:
•
Health Reduced to Zero - Although Superman is extremely tough, he can come across some serious opposition. Attacks on Superman can eat away at his health — once the health indicator in the upper left corner is fully depleted, you fail. If Superman's health is getting low, it is often best to retreat and allow it to recharge.
•
Innocents Hurt - If at any point, bystanders come to harm when Superman could have prevented it, you fail. Superman must protect the innocent at all costs.
•
Failed Objective - Superman has clear objectives throughout the game. If you do not complete an objective, you will fail. Sometimes objectives may be time-based, and at other times they will be a test of Superman's strength.
If Superman encounters failure, the game restarts at your last success.
Super Vision
You can gain precise control over Superman's highly sensitive eyesight by shifting into First-Person View (hold down the L2 button). In this mode you are able to look up, down and around, and peer far into the distance.
Use the left analog stick to look around and use the right analog stick to zoom in and out. To switch out of Super Vision mode, release the L2 button. Note: You cannot fight or move while you are using Super Vision, but you can use your Heat Ray on distant targets, as well as peer through objects using X-Ray Vision.
X-Ray Vision
While in First-Person View, press the button to see through certain objects. Note: X-Ray Vision is useless on anything lined with lead.
Super Power Moves
Superman also has a number of special Super Power Moves available, which you activate by pressing and holding down the button and the button simultaneously. Depending on what you are doing, Superman will perform a different move:
•
On the Ground - Superman goes into a Super Spin. While spinning, you can use the left analog stick to move Superman into enemies and objects to knock them away.
•
Hovering - Superman suddenly and forcefully drops to the ground. Enemies
