- Sorry for the delay, started a new job last week and overestimated the time I'd be able to commit to this. I have the next few days off so I should have my thoughts here within the next couple days. Bluecrystal004 (talk · contribs) 17:30, 13 June 2022 (UTC)

Copyright
- Fair-use rationales are good.
- Earwig returns nothing major, but some stuff that I think should be re/paraphrased (see below in red)
Infobox
- Add caption for cover art
Lead
Gameplay
- Special power orbs located in various areas allow Iron Man to unleash a massive chest-mounted cannon or to detonate a bomb that clears the entire screen of enemies. - This is pretty much the exact wording the source uses, so I would rephrase the second part of the sentence
Plot
- in which the former defeats easily in a battle. - "in which" -> "who" or rephrase the whole thing a bit more clearly
- concocted the entire scenario - phrase this some other way, such as "orchestrated the theft" or something
Development and release
- with Torus' Kevin McIntosh - a bit picky but "Torus'" -> "Torus's"
- It is the first handheld video game to feature Iron Man as a playable character. - recommend moving this to the end of the section
Reception
- My main problem with this section is there are too many direct quotations. All the ones listed below should be paraphrased in my opinion
- "the best side-scrolling shoot-'em-up for Game Boy Advance since Turok: Evolution" - could just remove this, I don't know that it needs to be mentioned
- "one of the better examples of how a comic book should be transformed into a video game"
- "a throwback to the days of the Genesis and Super NES where action platformers featuring licensed characters were pretty much a dime a dozen"
- with little distinguishing features. - "little" -> "few"
- "The Invincible Iron Man is one of the wimpiest game heroes we've encountered and deserves to be locked away in this rather limp platformer-with-guns"
- "Metroid and countless other games mastered eight-directional shooting a decade ago, this is ridiculous"
References
- Spotchecked all citations since there's not many, all claims are sourced
- All sources reliable
@Cat's Tuxedo: Again, sorry for the delay. Here are my thoughts, but the article is in good shape overall. Putting On hold to await fixes/responses. Bluecrystal004 (talk · contribs) 01:26, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
- @Bluecrystal004: No prob. All points have been addressed. Cat's Tuxedo (talk) 02:28, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
