ha, I actually know a guy who worked on the Iron Man game, the company he worked for was bought buy Sega where they laid off or split the staff to other projects, then forced the smaller demoralized crew to work on Iron Man with a ridiculously short development cycle to get it out in time for the movie. He told me that the fact it functioned at all was a miracle
