Flight control has been improved upon since the first game, as has melee combat, allowing players to get near to the ground.
Weapons can also be switched during gameplay. Players can customize upgrades and weaponry on the armour. Iron Man can choose from multiple suits of armour, including Marks II through VI. While Iron Man is sleeker and relies much more on energy weapons, War Machine is outfitted with ballistic weaponry and tougher armour.
Players can play as either Iron Man or War Machine, each with their own unique style. In the end, the fate of the world will be left in Iron Man and War Machines powerful hands and they must battle to save it from destruction. Battle epic enemies, like the classic Iron Man villain Crimson Dynamo, only featured in the game, and an incredible final boss of truly staggering, skyscraping scale. Play as Iron Man or, for the first time ever, War Machine in this brand-new story which thrusts you deep into the Iron Man comic world adding to the excitement of the upcoming Iron Man 2 movie.
