Iron Man 2 the Game is loosely based on Iron Man 2 the film...in that Rhodey/War Machine is voiced by Don Cheadel and Nick Fury is voiced by Samuel L Jackson. It has nothing to do with the film so you have no worries about spoiling anything. Is this an unofficial sequal? I dont know. The game mechanics have improved a bit from the first game...but not by much.The flying can get clunky to the point where you cant tell whats on the screenor which direction your looking. Also the auto target will sometimes target enemies to far away versus the closer ones, leaving you vulnerable. There are only three difficulties, the first two are fairly easy for most players, the hard difficulty is ridiculous in how much health can be taken in some fights, and with the faulty flight and targeting controls...can prove to be frustrating However, once you play long enough to get used to the controls, you may find the game enjoyable and destructive. The levels are hardly repetative and battles are fairly creative. The achievements in this are very basic. Pass XXX level, kill XXX number of enemies with XXX weapon. So if you are wanting a fun game to play for a day with easy achievements, this is for you. Game Rating: 4/10 Achievement Level: Easy Achievements ================================================================ Gameplay Tips ----------------- 1: The game can be started at either of the three difficulties, and can be changed anytime at the headquarters screen by pressing start, game, difficulty 2: Even as an experienced player I found starting on hard a bit ridiculous with the controls and enemy ai. I recommend starting on at least normal to get used to the controls and build up your field data and suit research 3: You can play as either Iron Man or War Machine in most of the levels. Iron man is fast with good weapon output. By charging you repulsor blasts you can stun most enemies and press B to take them over for a short time to fight for you. War Machine has Stronger Weapons and can shoot most enemies before they even get to you. I started on Hard and did mosst of the game with War Machine because of his mini gun...youll see. 4: If you are trying to just get achievements. All can be best obtained oneasy difficulty except for the two that call for you to play on higher difficulties. ****************************** Level Difficulty************** ****************************** You can start on easy, normal, or formidable(hard). I recommend starting on normal so you can get a feel for the controlls, enemy ai, and boss fights. It can be changed from the start screen in the headquarters. If you beat thegame on Formidable, the Normal and Easy achievement are automatically unlocked. 1-1 Ultimatum 15g ------------------ Complete every mission on Easy difficulty Difficulty: easy 1-2 Iron Man 30g ----------------- Complete every mission on Normal difficulty Difficulty: easy/normal 1-3 Invincible 100g -------------------- Complete every mission on Formidable difficulty This may have just been my game, but some bosses make ridiculous moves and its not helped with the flight controlls. Just have patience and extra controllers handy Difficulty: ridiculous ****************************** Main Objectives*************** ****************************** All you have to do is beat the level and you will earn said achievement, can be done on any difficulty. 2-1 Shake it Off 3 g --------------------- Recover from the roxxon EMP attack Automatically earned playing level 1 Difficulty: none 2-2 Access Denied 10g ---------------------- Prevent Roxxon from stealing the Stark Archives Beat "The Stark Archives" Difficulty: normal 2-2 Deportation 15g -------------------- Prevent the Russian separatists from deploying Roxxon Armingers Beat "Russia and Roxxon" Difficulty: normal 2-3 Power Outage 15g --------------------- Defeat the Crimson Dynamo Beat "The Crimson Dynamo" Difficulty: challenging 2-3 Anti-PROTEAN 20g --------------------- Destroy Project PROTEAN Beat "PROTEAN" Difficulty: normal 2-4 Improvisation Under Fire 20g --------------------------------- Save Rhodey and the Stark mobile armory from the A.I.M. attack Beat "Operation Daybreak" Difficulty: normal 2-5 Operation Daybreak 20g --------------------------- Defeat A.I.M. and save the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier Beat "War Machine" Difficulty: Hard 2-6 Stormbreaker 20g --------------------- Shut down the GREENGRID power transmitter Beat "Storm Warnings" Difficulty: easy 2-7 The Bigger They Are 30g ---------------------------- Defeat ULTIMO Beat "ULTIMO" Difficulty: Challenging *************************** Optional Objectives******** *************************** Most are best earned playing on easy. 3-1 Not IN MY House 15g ------------------------ Prevent the first wave of Roxxon dropships from deploying their drones Mission: The Stark Archives Once you take over War Machine, shoot down the first two sets of helicopters you see as Jarvis is explaining the weapons. They must be shot down before they release the drones Difficulty: Easy 3-2 Full Flight 15g -------------------- Only one S.H.I.E.L.D. transport lost in the canyon run. Mission: Russia and Roxxon You start off with 6 but you WILL lose one in the arminger fight. Just fly ahead and take out all anti air missle launchers. The hellicopters are usually taken out by the transports, but you can help with that. Difficulty: normal 3-3 Two Man Army 10g --------------------- Defeat the Russian separatists as both Iron Man and War Machine. Mission: Russia and Roxxon Alls you have to do is play the mission twice as both characters, it does not matter how many transports make it in. Difficulty: easy 3-4 Area Secured 20g --------------------- At least 10 S.H.I.E.L.D. units survive the battle for the docks Mission: Russia and Roxxon You have to make it to the docks with all transports from the first part.The units refered to are the soldiers and tanks on the ground. Kill the russian tanks and soldiers as soon as you start the soldiers wont reallyleave that little area. So just fly around and blow everyone else up andyou should get it right before you fight the second arminger. Difficulty: Easy 3-5 Pulling the Plug 15g ------------------------- Destroy all four Tesla reactor stabilizers in under 60 seconds Mission: Crimson Dynamo As soon as you blow the door to the room, the game will glitch and give you between 2-5 drones. Just fly in and utilise both weapons to hit them quickly. I recommend Iron Mans laser or War Machines mini gun. Difficulty: Easy 3-6 Anger Managemenet 15g -------------------------- Destroy most of the structures in Shatalov's base Mission: Crimson Dynamo After you get back outside you have to find a computer to find Natasha. There are two areas for you to search each has between 5-7 buildings to search. Dont get on the computer yet! Just fly to both spots and destroy everything you see. The grayish buildings roofs blow up. The medium sized cylos/cylinder looking things are destructable, and the reddish looking buildings are fully blow upable. You have to get this before fighting Crymson Dynamo. Difficulty: Normal 3-7 It Takes Two to Tangle 10g ------------------------------- Defeat Crimson Dynamo as both Iron Man and War Machine Mission: Crimson Dynamo Just play the level as both Iron Man and War Machine Difficulty: Easy 3-8 Entrapment 15g ------------------- Reach the bottom of the elevator shaft without touching a laser tripline Mission: PROTEAN there are three levels with lazers, each will deploy flying drones if hit. The first one is easy, there should be one with lazers making a triangle that the moving lazers dont pass through, just press A and lower down. The next two I found easier to find a corner where it takes a second for the lazer to pass and just lower ass soon as it goes the opposite direction. May take a few tries Difficulty: Normal 3-9 Man and Machine 10g ------------------------ Destroy Project PROTEAN as both Iron Man and War Machine Mission: PROTEAN Just play the level as both Iron Man and War Machine Difficulty: Easy 3-10 Defensive Player of The Year 20g ------------------------------------- Save all four repulsor lifts and all four stabilizers on the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier. Mission: Operation Daybreak When your not busy protecting your plane you have to fight drones attacking the ship. Target the bigger ones that are focused on the ship. The Unibeam is a good weapon to use when your waiting for missles to recharge. I hovered in front of them and used charged repulsors, you cant miss being in front and they wont fly away. Make use of the missle drones and deflect missles towards the bigger drones. Its easy to get distracted by all of the drones that fly to intercept and attack you, just press B on the melee fighters to take them over causing distractions and possibly attacking the big drones. Difficulty: Normal/Hard 3-11 Brute Force 30g --------------------- Destroy the A.I.M. Arc Armiger without using missile deflection Mission: War Just dont deflect any of the missles flying at you, it a little difficult and reflexes usually call for you to hit the deflect button. Just dont.Use your missles and rockets on it till it goes green. Then when it releases the four balls. Target one and as soon as its still long enough, hit it with a rocket. Do this a few times and on the armingers last bit of health it will fire missles like mad if you are in front of it. Just use the Omega System and blast it. Difficulty: Normal 3-12 Guardian 25g ----------------- Shut down GREENGRID without needing to repair the Arc Armiger Mission: Storm Warnings Just play this on easy and the arminger with lose little to no health as long as you fly cover and destroy the missle launcher pads. Difficulty: Easy 2-13 Switchboard Operator 20g ------------------------------ Reposition all of the GREENGRID relays without being interrupted Mission: Storm Warnings When you reach the end, you have to shoot the ball in the middle then repostition the relays. When you go for a relay two drones may come to stop you, just shoot them before you start on a relay. There is a timer before the ball in the middle recharges. If you are in the middle of postitioning one when the timer hits zero, it will count as an interuption. Difficulty: Easy 3-14 Bipolar 10g ----------------- Shut down the GREENGRID power transmitter as both Iron Man and War Machine Mission: Storm Warnings Just play the level as both Iron Man and War Machine Difficulty: Easy 3-15: Not a scratch 40g ------------------------ Defeat ULTIMO with no armor damage Mission: ULTIMO I highly recommend you play on easy for this because any hit he causes on the higher difficulties will cause at least one bit of damage. On easy it just wipes most of the shield but you have time to recharge it. The main part that makes this difficult is the flight controls when you move on one of the reactors. Just have patience and you will get it. Difficulty: Normal/Hard ****************************** Armor************************* ****************************** You start with the Mark IV Iron man and the War Machine. Each mission awards you with field data based on enemies killed, objectives met, and armor breach. As long as you get top score on a level which is easy on easy, and you will unlock new armor. I managed to get all armors playing on Formidable so just consider all an easy difficulty. 4-1 Mark vI 10g ----------------- Unlock the Mark VI Iron Man armor Get Max score on "The Stark Archives" 4-2 Mark II 10g ----------------- Unlock the Mark II Iron Man armor Get Max score on "Russia and Roxxon" 4-3: Mark I 10g ----------------- Unlock the Mark I Iron Man armor Get Max score on "Crimson Dynamo" 4-4: Mark III 10g ------------------- Unlock the Mark III Iron Man armor Get Max score on "PROTEAN" 4-5: Classic Iron Man 10g --------------------------- Unlock the classic Iron Man armor Get Max score on "Operation Daybreak" 4-6 Extremis 10g ------------------ Unlock the Extremis Iron Man armor Get Max score on "War Machine" 4-7 Silver Centurion 10g -------------------------- Unlock the Silver Centurion Iron Man armor Get Max score on "Storm Warnings" 4-8 Ultimate Iron Man 10g --------------------------- Unlock the Ultimate Iron Man armor Get Max score on "ULTIMO" 4-9 Hall of Armors 35g ------------------------ Unlock all armor suits Get Max score on All levels ****************************** Other************************* ****************************** Chances are you will get at least 85% while playing normally, they can be obtained at any time. If your just going through levels to obtain resources or get optional objectives, remember to use what weapons you still need the achievement for to make it wasier later. So consider all marked as easy difficulty. 5-1 Bulletproof 30g --------------------- Defeat 50 enemies in melee as Iron Man while Invincible Any enemies count and while invincible the melee gets a good damage boost. A goodlevel for this is PROTEAN, trip every lazer in the shaft and you get around 10ish drones all in one spot so you can hit them all easy. 5-2 Fire and Forget 10g ------------------------- Defeat 100 enemies with homing missiles You should get this by mid playthrough if you constantly use it.
