Amazon.com Product Description
Darkseid, the most evil being in the galaxy, has enlisted the aid of Lex Luthor in his quest to destroy Superman and take over the world. By providing Luthor with highly advanced Apokoliptean weapons technology, Darkseid has enabled Metropolis's reigning supervillain to create an army of nearly unstoppable Interbot robots with serious firepower. Superman: Countdown to Apokolips offers nonlinear, mission-based gameplay that combines action, stealth, and puzzles. Based on Superman: The Animated Series on the Cartoon Network, the game gives you full access to all of Superman's powers as you roam 15 enormous, fully interactive levels brimming with usable objects. The voice acting is provided by the original cast of the animated series, and the sweeping orchestral score is worthy of an epic adventure. The game's supervillains include Livewire, Parasite, and Metallo. An advanced enemy AI makes squad-based tactical decisions in the heat of battle.

 Finally, A Game For The Fans That Is Worth Playing May 31, 2008
"Shadow of Apokolips" is the perfect title for this game since there is very little Apokolips or Darkseid in it. The game itself is really fun, but maybe more fun for fans of the TV series. We, as fans, are treated with the return of the entire cast and the writing does feel just like an episode. It being based on the TV series, casual Superman fans may not get the same thrill out of it like those who love the TV show.
One of the big things missing from the game is the TV theme song. I was listening for it the entire time, and it never plays. That was kind of a downer. I also wish they had Brainiac and Bizarro on this game, but they are missing as well.
What is great about the game is that it is fun and not easy. They didn't make this game extremely easy for the kiddies, but it is actually challenging in some parts. With all of the challenges, the game can still be beat in less than 5 hours. Overall, this is a game for the fans. If you love the TV series, you will love this. I would suggest that you may want to rent it first if you are just a casual fan of superheroes.

I really like superman I expected this game to be better like the graphics.The graphics aren't that good and when you pick something it
takes a while to pick it up.
Man of Steel December 27, 2006
I really enjoyed this video game. It really makes you feel like your part of the animated cartoon. The cell shading and voice acting is top notch. The only gripe I have concerning this game is that it's relatively short. There is no multiplayer or costume/bonus levels to unlock so the replay value is quite limited.
I definitely recommend this game to fans of Superman the animated series or anyone who enjoys playing the part of a superhero.
Hardcore gamers should stay away since it won't measure up to their standards.
