I really wanted to enjoy this but I simply had too much trouble with the controls and my lack of understanding what I was supposed to do. I died at the first(?) boss, wasn't able to revive and then the game started all over - including all the cut-scene style introduction with the different Iron Man characters chit-chatting. That's when I decided I was "out". To clarify on the controls - most DS games either required touch-screen or had it as optional, so - two control systems in place at the same time, choose which one you like. Here, as far as I could tell, I had to use both (which is complicated with me being left-handed) and they didn't seem to work all that much. When you die, there is a cool little mini-game wherein you can "revive" yourself. It has something to do with aligning 3 circles (iron man's energy thingie in his chest), but I beat the first one by random chance and couldn't figure out the 2nd one - or the 2nd time it happened. Sigh.
