Superman is one of the greatest and most recognized superheroes. Recently Chillingo released a very cool iOS Superman game for the iPhone.
The game has you fighting against Lex Luthor and his evil scheme to take over the world. The game's features include:
- Eighteen levels of superpowered action offer a perfect playground for putting Superman’s abilities to the test.
- Save Metropolis from the mastermind Lex Luthor and his army of thugs, mechs, and other menacing forces.
- Use all of Superman’s most iconic powers, including flight, heat vision, super-breath, super-strength, and super-speed.
- Beat score challenges on each level to earn bronze, silver, and gold achievements.
- Fantastic soundtrack from the composer of the award-winning Contre Jour!
Chillingo is set to unleash the first action-packed update to the game and to celebrate, we're giving away a pretty insane prize. (The update will be available when the contest ends).
