It taught Kal-El the important lesson that somethings are completely within your control but you should just let them kill people you love so you can have a moody backstory but know no actual limits to your powers.
You know what's depressing. This is probably the best Superman game on the market. C'Mon Rocksteady, get your asses in gear and give us that Superman game that's been rumoured for years.
Joetuss I had to look up what you are talking about. I just watched 6 mins of the tutorial level and it is like the game designers took my ideas for how Superman would be in a game and put them in the game. Thank you i got to binge this.
I honestly don't think this game is THAT bad. It's far from perfect (obviously), and its not on the same level as Spider-Man 2 or The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction. But as a movie tie in game, it could've been a lot worse.
Once again I must praise you. I avoided the video game play thru videos because I used to have a very sad group of friends who would meet once a week and humourlessly play console games without talking. Usually one on one so the other 5 or 6 of us (oh yes, it was the most boring thing ever but the other non players still showed up) would just watch and I got over that right quick. But the PTSD that I carried in my very sole lo these many years is now just mild annoyance that I went at all. These have turned into my favourite vids which I never expected. Thank you for the joy you bring to my life. It is much appreciated.

Try every song they've ever written... why act like just a jackass looking to start problems and get people angry and shit?.. like what's wrong with you that you feel like it's a good idea to just say dumb shit and be a total asshole to random strangers that have done nothing to you?..
Literally the only channel that is still as good as it has always been. U can stick on an episode from 6 years ago and it feels like they dropped it yesterday
I honestly really loved flying in this game. Watching you hit the speed of sound and the noise disappear until you slowed down again was always awesome to me
I've talked to some of the devs that made this game. The art team had be reassigned from an EA madden game so the superman model is basically just a modified college football model. The game got massively reduced from the original vision that aimed to draw dozens of people on screen at one time instead of the handful we get. Thanks for the content!
I actually loved this game. The combat wasn't great, but flying around the city made for a great Superman game on its own. The game also came out on xbox 360 and looked and played a lot better than this.
Is it bad that I actually enjoyed this game as a kid? Spoiler Alert: It is because I’m one of the few people who really enjoyed the first Iron Man game.
What's sad is that this is probably the best Superman game. It has some pretty good ideas, making superman unable to die was good, after all, he's fighting for the city, not himself, it's a good way to have challenge without making Superman a weakling that some C-list villain can take down. The focus being on the protecting the city is more involving game play than just watching your own health bar. The combat is pretty neat, I like the idea of being able to fight super-villains in a destructible city, it gives you some options. Do you play it safe and slowly methodically take out your enemies, or do you cut loose and Zack-Snyder your was through battles destroying everything in your path, at expense to city health? If there's ever another Superman game, I hope it builds on this games ideas, maybe have some sort of ranking system dependent on how much collateral damage you were able to avoid in your battles, have more elaborate missions and powers to use, the foundation is here, certainly. By the way the 360 version of this game is a lot better.
I have a memory of you been able to fly way higher in this game, not into space but into the stratosphere at least. Maybe I played the 360 version but I do remember the game looking a bit better than this.
I had a chance to work on this game. Back in 2005, EA Tiburon bought out the small game developer I was working for and made offers to all the current employees. I didn't like the job enough to relocate for it though, so I turned them down. I knew they had a Superman game in the works, so I was a bit tempted by that. Considering how the game turned out, I'm glad I didn't go.
I really enjoyed this because I used to play this game all of the time when I was a kid! What a throw back!😂👌 Btw the added Mos building destruction clips were hilarious!
There's only like two things you can do in the game outside of the main mission; one is playing a Bizarro mode that's timed, and the other is collecting 100 cats for Mr. Mxyzptlk.
I remember this!! I only got to the second level, tho, because I was scared of the blue guy you had to throw junk at. When I finally beat it, I forgot to manually save the game and lost my progress. Good times!
That's a lot of sheer cliff faces with no barriers in that city. No wonder there's a section of Metropolis called "Suicide Slums".... That's very dangerous.
I liked this game because i actually got to feel like Superman in this. Granted some mechanics like city health sucked, but bringing people to ambulances gracefully and assuring them they'll be okay made me feel like Superman. Same with the powers and flight felt the best the most. This is the game that at least had me feel like Superman unlike the other ones like Ring Simulator and The-Beat-Em-Up-Where Superman-Died.
5:44 that would be a pretty sweet idea for a video game. you've got a superhero type guy and as you're doing stuff, you have freedom to make the choice to do good or bad, and you wind up being either a hero or villain in the end. I know this has been done in Star Wars games. should totally work here, right? i dunno if it's been done with superheroes though. maybe it has. if it has though, i might need to check it out. maybe. or not.
I think a Superman game centered around controlling your powers and avoiding collateral damage like the kid from Invincible has to learn would be an interesting gimmick… ie: give us the option to lay waste to Metropolis
Please just do one throwback caravan of garbage where you talk about a tv show or movie! I'll keep watching these for some reason probably because I love the podcast but it's hard to be pumped for shitty games compared to when you had a blast with that justice league tv show. Just do one more and I'll shut up.
Mr. Gabe Thomas right?! Isn't it weird that it went from like movies and tv shows and sometimes video games..to only video games and no mention of anything else haha the shaq steel one was hilarious too.
This game had the worst side mission system. You fly the SLIGHTEST BIT close to any danger, which spawned every 50 feet, and you enter the mission. No opportunity to just have fun, and all the enemies were too tough to make you feel powerful like Superman.
ah yes the latest superman game. Can't beat these modern graphics of 2006. In all honesty I loved just flying around as a kid on my og Xbox and then recently playing it again and just blazing through it. my favorite part is when you go super speed and just bulldoze through metallos goons and toss around the cadmus dragons.
I laughed when they, intentionally or not, hurt civilians. I don't play games anymore, but you know what could be cool though? A morally ambiguous guy with powers who, depending on the choices you make during the game, can become good or evil. I remember some Jedi Knight game was like this, but I'm thinking someone with Superman's power set.
Oh Jesus. I worked on this game at EA Tiburon. It was our “big secret” ... and It ducked sick. But we also did it as an almost launch title for 360. It really sucked. Final boss? Tornadoes... fuck my life.
Dunno if James was just casually riffing, but now that you mention it, Gene Hackman would make a perfect Mr Mxyzptlk… for Routh or Cavil or whoever the new guy ends up being… though I think that character could be way better utilized in a streaming show. And meaning no offense but the current Superman show doesn’t seem like it’s got the level of production value for an actor like Hackman… maybe if they’ve got a cool mil just laying about at Warner Bros and they’re looking for another high profile cameo to tack on to Flashpoint to distract from Ezra Miller’s very public breakdown?
You could fly WAY farther up in the Xbox version. It was actualy really cool. I hope in the new Superman game you can fly to Space, even if for no purpose.
Superman - Damn you tornado! You killed my father! Tornado - NO! I (dramatic pause) am your father! (WARNING terrible pun incoming) I swept your mum of her feet. Superman - NO! That's improbable!
Yeah Xbox version you could definitely fly around with the citizens, I remember every time I helped someone I would always leave them on the tallest nearby building with no way down.
Justice League review later. Fingers crossed. FINGERS CROSSED.
Mr Sunday Movies play "Batman: Dark Tomorrow" - it's a Resident Evil 1 style Batman game. It is terrible. I own it for Gamecube. It feels unfinished.
What does "grab that gem" mean?
Please... PLEASE... For the love of everything that is comic-booky, use the MrSM timeless and proven rating system of best or worst movie ever.
Do Ultimate Spider-Man and have fun for a change.And I don't mean the mediocre cartoon i mean the game.And play it not have sex with it.
Mr Sunday Movies you should play the ps2 (i think) justice league game
The final boss is a tornado? Is the main objective to stand there, and do nothing while it kills your father? Oops... Wrong Superman.
Charlie McGrath wow😂
Gotem
Hahaha awesome work here with this comment
It taught Kal-El the important lesson that somethings are completely within your control but you should just let them kill people you love so you can have a moody backstory but know no actual limits to your powers.
In the Xbox version you COULD fly civilians into the air and drop them to their doom. And I did. And I felt nothing.
Ethan Smith you could do that on PS2 too I think
Congratulations. You are a Zack Snyder superhero.
Ethan Smith game is much better on 360
You are a sith Lord now
Thats exactly the same feeling superman has when he does it....
You know what's depressing. This is probably the best Superman game on the market.
C'Mon Rocksteady, get your asses in gear and give us that Superman game that's been rumoured for years.
You could say they should give us the game we deserve, but not the one we need right now?
LORDUnLuCkY13 I would say Shadow of Apokalips is a better Superman game, it was actually decent
I remember seeing a magazine ad for an Xbox exclusive one based on STAS, it looked good but considering it's never mentioned I assume it's not.
The Atari 2600 cartridge?
Oh Rocksteady 😭😭😭
Fuck those man of steel destruction edits in this are hillarious
I actually liked this game.
Liked this. It is probably the best Superman game.
Xander M Nah, Shadow of Apokolips was.
Joetuss I had to look up what you are talking about. I just watched 6 mins of the tutorial level and it is like the game designers took my ideas for how Superman would be in a game and put them in the game. Thank you i got to binge this.
Xander M No problem. For some reason it gets overlooked, or completely forgotten...it had it's issues, but in my opinion, it was on the right track.
Probably because it was a tie-in. Tie-ins get overlooked. Some of them are good though.
I honestly don't think this game is THAT bad. It's far from perfect (obviously), and its not on the same level as Spider-Man 2 or The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction. But as a movie tie in game, it could've been a lot worse.
Just what games developers long to hear..."it could have been far worse" 😆
I got this game for Christmas when I was a kid.
I loved it.
SAME !!!!
Same here
XMenOrangesTangerine So did I!!!😆
XMenOrangesTangerine I only like flying around
It's a fantastic game. It's literally the only game that makes you feel like you actually are superman and they nailed flying down to a T

Wahoo! Just got into bed...and a new Caravan of Garbage!
I could listen to mason saying " WOOOOOOOO" all day
I died when Mason said “ I just learned to fly Foo Fighters style.”
Aww I thought we were going to get to see Superman vs tornado!

James: What!? I thought this was Amerrrica!
You guys need to play Batman and Robin on the PS1!!!
K cs oh yes
I think they already might have but if not, that seems great😀😀
Justice League is either going to be as good as when you first discover porn or as bad as when you cant find that video you saw the other night
YAJ OMAR I can attest to both of those.
Bookmark that shit nigga. Rose Monroe on the bicycle gets me every time
Damn,so true
Relateable
YAJ OMAR no I’m pretty sure it’ll just be shit like BVM and WW
First thing he tries to do is punch a harmless civilian;

EdKMusic me too but, it hasn't aged well.
I liked the game
Me too 🤙🏻🤡
The flying in the Iron Man game was real good fun.
Yes
Justice League Heroes . Best Justice league game
How many years till good games are retro??
Rob Wilks about 16
Rob Wilks The ps2 is retro right? Considering it was released in 2000.
Junkproductions i would not consider it retro yet. But the ps1 is
John Werner Why not? No More games are coming out and It's dirtcheap.
Junkproductions the last ps2 game came out in 2013 so not that retro
What's sad is that this is probably the best Superman game.

Maybe I played the 360 version but I do remember the game looking a bit better than this.
Yeah. You could fly way farther.
You guys are one of my all time favorite youtubers! Two and a half years, you guys are the best.
Literally just bought this game to fly around the city.
I had a chance to work on this game. Back in 2005, EA Tiburon bought out the small game developer I was working for and made offers to all the current employees. I didn't like the job enough to relocate for it though, so I turned them down. I knew they had a Superman game in the works, so I was a bit tempted by that. Considering how the game turned out, I'm glad I didn't go.
I played through this game on PS2, those are hours I can't get back.
How is it that no one remembers how bad this Superman Returns game is compared to Superman 64?
Zedfinite it has fun flying mechanics. It’s a bad game but it’s redeemed when goofing around the sandbox.
The free flight was amazing when first seeing this game back then
I really enjoyed this because I used to play this game all of the time when I was a kid! What a throw back!😂👌
Btw the added Mos building destruction clips were hilarious!
I think I played the demo of this on the 360. Damn the PS2 version just looks rough and that’s before we even get onto gameplay
Brandon Routh will always be my Superman 👌
jk, but at least he's a good Atom?
Punisher Arcade game. It's a 2-player beat'em up by Capcom with Nick Fury as the second player.
I used to block all the cars, let them build up, then use the super tornado breath on them.
Play spider-man: web of shadows, it's actually pretty good.
There's only like two things you can do in the game outside of the main mission; one is playing a Bizarro mode that's timed, and the other is collecting 100 cats for Mr. Mxyzptlk.
I remember this!! I only got to the second level, tho, because I was scared of the blue guy you had to throw junk at. When I finally beat it, I forgot to manually save the game and lost my progress. Good times!
I remember this game I bought it thinking it would be like spiderman man on ps2 i played it for 3 days and never touched it again
I love how cinematic cutscenes in old games are worse the the actual graphics in games now
That's a lot of sheer cliff faces with no barriers in that city. No wonder there's a section of Metropolis called "Suicide Slums"....
That's very dangerous.
My brother and I actually really liked this game when we were kids 😅

I liked this game because i actually got to feel like Superman in this. Granted some mechanics like city health sucked, but bringing people to ambulances gracefully and assuring them they'll be okay made me feel like Superman. Same with the powers and flight felt the best the most.
This is the game that at least had me feel like Superman unlike the other ones like Ring Simulator and The-Beat-Em-Up-Where Superman-Died.

Why not pick up the ambulance and take it to the multiple injured people? Better yet, why don't they bloody drive?!?
i played the 360 demo so many times. the flying was fun af.
Honestly love the content, I’ve watched some of your videos multiple times
Thanks T!
Ok the Xbox 360 version is better... I didn't even know there was a ps2 version lol
RUclips put an long ad I couldn’t skip in front of this. For THIS?

There are two games that let you do that for the ps3, I can't remember the titles but they're in the same franchise
the xbox 360 version was fun as hell
I distinctly remember lifting people on to building and pushing them off. They survive though.
I think a Superman game centered around controlling your powers and avoiding collateral damage like the kid from Invincible has to learn would be an interesting gimmick… ie: give us the option to lay waste to Metropolis
When I was raised in my Christian parents house, this was as close as I could get to GTA. :'(

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
With the new Star Wars film coming out soon, you could showcase Star Wars Supremacy. Lots of screens looking at R2 D2 and C3PO. It’s just lovely.
This game had the worst side mission system. You fly the SLIGHTEST BIT close to any danger, which spawned every 50 feet, and you enter the mission. No opportunity to just have fun, and all the enemies were too tough to make you feel powerful like Superman.
Have fans asked if you guys will Twitch these? These are fun, the animations really add to your already funny rapport.
Yeah get over to that superman statue and turn into bizarro for some reason?
What system emulator do you use for this? Does it come preloaded with games? Do you recommend
Yes! Full intro is back. Listened to it 3x like an idiot 😂😂
Please bring back the original format of Caravan of Garbage too
lol. Playing video games is a lot easier.
Real missed opportunity for a Springfield Gorge reference, boys.
ah yes the latest superman game. Can't beat these modern graphics of 2006. In all honesty I loved just flying around as a kid on my og Xbox and then recently playing it again and just blazing through it. my favorite part is when you go super speed and just bulldoze through metallos goons and toss around the cadmus dragons.

Oh Jesus. I worked on this game at EA Tiburon. It was our “big secret” ... and It ducked sick. But we also did it as an almost launch title for 360. It really sucked. Final boss? Tornadoes... fuck my life.
I know its caravan of garbage but, just give Mason Prototype and watch his glee.
The flying dynamic of this game was awesome, thats pretty much the only positive Lmfao.
I played this when it came out, I put in a cheat to unlock all my powers and it gave me a achievement that was worth zero points!
Dunno if James was just casually riffing, but now that you mention it, Gene Hackman would make a perfect Mr Mxyzptlk… for Routh or Cavil or whoever the new guy ends up being… though I think that character could be way better utilized in a streaming show. And meaning no offense but the current Superman show doesn’t seem like it’s got the level of production value for an actor like Hackman… maybe if they’ve got a cool mil just laying about at Warner Bros and they’re looking for another high profile cameo to tack on to Flashpoint to distract from Ezra Miller’s very public breakdown?
I'm glad an actual superman fan is doing this.
You could fly WAY farther up in the Xbox version. It was actualy really cool. I hope in the new Superman game you can fly to Space, even if for no purpose.
I see Future Man ads every time I watch one if your videos
Superman - Damn you tornado! You killed my father!
Tornado - NO! I (dramatic pause) am your father! (WARNING terrible pun incoming) I swept your mum of her feet.
Superman - NO! That's improbable!
Please next Caravan of Garbage should be Godzilla Destroy All Monsters Melee (Xbox).. I want to watch you guys play this game so bad!! :D
Yeah Xbox version you could definitely fly around with the citizens, I remember every time I helped someone I would always leave them on the tallest nearby building with no way down.
Dude I used to play the fuck outta this game I loved it
I remember EA hyping this game up. About how large and detailed their open world Metropolis was and crap lol
Superman Return's graphic > Henry Cavill's upper lip
Why did you play it on ps2 it looks 1000 times better on 360
Anakin Skywalker agree when I saw those graphics I was like hell noooo!
Because he is a playstation fanboy
worse = funnier
Because the graphics are worse in this version.
you produce such consistently good content keep it up
I do think they were on to something with the whole giving the city a life meter instead of Superman
