Superman

Superman is really cool, so people made a bunch of video games starring him. To my knowledge, there were about 15 notable Superman games from 1979 to 2006, more if you count radically different versions of the same title on different platforms. And regardless of who developed these games, they basically all sucked. Sure, everyone knows Superman 64 was the worst thing ever, but it doesn't end there. The Atari 2600 game? Often considered one of the worst on the console. The NES game? GameFAQs ranks it in the bottom 10% of the NES library. The Genesis game? GameFAQs lists it as worse than the Genesis Bubsy games. The Death and Return of Superman? Got reviews of around 5 out of 10. Superman 64... Superman: Man of Steel for the Xbox? The most positive review says it "isn't a game for everyone, and the repetitive mission structure will more than likely deter all but the Superman faithful." Superman Returns? The final boss is literally a bunch of hot air.
The best-received Superman game of all time was Superman: Shadow of Apokolips from 2002. It has a Metascore of 64.
