Play Superman Returns : Fortress Of Solitude Online

Superman Returns: Fortress of Solitude came out for the Game Boy Advance in 2006, developed by EA Tiburon. It was one of the many licensed games from that era, a time when you could find a superhero title for just about every movie. This one tried to capture the feel of the film on the small screen.

You control Superman, flying through side scrolling levels to stop Lex Luthor's latest scheme. The main goal is to protect Metropolis from various threats, which means you are constantly switching between fighting robots in the streets and rescuing citizens in peril. A couple of key mechanics stand out: you use a targeting reticle to aim your heat vision precisely, and you frequently need to carry heavy objects, like cars or damaged satellites, to clear a path or solve an environmental puzzle. The game moves at a brisk pace, but the difficulty can spike unexpectedly during some of the escort missions. Flying through the city with that chiptune theme playing gives it a specific, slightly janky charm.
