The trailer looks quite impressiv. He, the Iron Man himself, is very properly done. For the environments, they are quite a bit empty and not so awesome. When the gameplay is good, and it has some alternation, this could become a nice game. But those screens don't do it any justice, the trailer looks a lot better!
Massive environments are the only way this could have worked, I guess you have to sacrifice something graphical to make them work if they are to be playable on the ground and in the air at high speed. Of course you could sacrifice gameplay a la Lair but I would hope that has taught everyone a lesson.
Any info on whether the game will have full voice cast from the movie? Or whether we'll play as Tony Stark at all?

It will suck, just like every other movie-based game. End of story!
Riddick
Upcoming Ghostbusters
Goldeneye
Kotor (based based in the world of star wars)
Indiana Jones (same as above)
King Kong (it was better than most games not based on movies)

Spiderman2???
Ahmen
Buffy the vampire slayer ??
Lego starwars :D
Star wars battlefield (based on mod yes but it was good fun)
Enter the matrix (ok thats a joke)
Metal gear solid ( same as above, but for better reasons :D)
Xmen Legends, although not based on the movies were released to coincide with movies like Xmen
Marvel Ultimate Alliance again but with movies like Spiderman 3
Also most games follow the trends of film and base them from that
RE 4 came after 28 Days Later, Godzilla games made a return after monster movies came back, horror games in the style of Japanese cinema became more popular as the culture's horror film became more popular Fatal Frame and others
So if you're going to talk about cashing in, pretty much every video game is released to coincide with some form of popular film going on. The two are very much linked to one another. A lot of games get their inspiration from film and film gets a lot of inspiration from games

If only it were anime
Anime based games are usually even worse.

So sorry, but i wipe my bum on that statement.
The first 5 where loosely based on the film at best and the last one was absolutely terrible.
Reminds me a lot of the Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction, which is a VERY good thing. I loved that game, and I really hope it takes some great ideas from the game and continues with it's own brand of transportation (flying) and open missions/open world scenarios.

Commented on 2008-01-18 20:01:31So lets try again with games that were made simply to get some cash while the movie is popular :
Superman
Spiderman
Toy Story
Shrek
You know what im not even going to list anymore, it brings to much pain.

Toy Story wasn't
Shrek wasn't
What game developer wants to make a mirror image of an already existing entity
