The videogame Iron Man follows the story of Tony Stark, a billionaire weapon-industrialist who builds an armor to escape from terrorists. After his escape, he decides to use his suit to fight against those who want to harm him and others.
As the player progresses through the game, they will go through more than 12 different missions, fighting villains like Whiplash and Titanium Man. The game features cinematics showing key events in the story, with actors from the movie such as Robert Downey Jr. and Terrence Howard reprising their roles.
Players control Tony Stark as he fights against armies of soldiers, tanks, helicopters, and other enemies using a range of upgradeable weapons. The suit itself can be upgraded, and players can unlock special armors from the comics in different versions of the game.
The gameplay features both melee attacks and ranged combat, with the option to use air travel or ground-based missions. The player's gear is upgraded based on how much it has been used, rather than relying solely on spending money, which sets this version apart from other console versions.
