The Nerd's Complaints about Superman 64

  • Lack of the Superman theme song by John Williams
  • Flying through rings. The Nerd states it's like "making a Batman game where all he does is play hopscotch."
  • Time limits that leave no margin of error and are unecessary.
  • Poor hit detection.
  • Broken controls.
  • In-game instructions that appear only for a split second.
  • Glitches (e.g. Superman gets stuck when flying under a bridge, even though he's nowhere near it.)
  • If you miss flying through one ring, sometimes three or more, you have to start all over.
  • Failing a task will take you back to a previous mission.
  • Awkward attacks.
