STORY
Though his true identity is unknown, the one they call The Hero lives the fast-track, whirlwind life of an A-list celebrity. Speeding from world-threatening crises to world famous interviews, he’s a deliciously enigmatic mystery to his adoring fans and a fearsome force of destruction to his enemies.

The Hero’s arch-nemesis, the deranged evil screwball Dr. Hubbub, is at large once again and bent on taking over the world’s glitziest cities in a maelstrom of chaos and all out bedlam. As the world teeters on the brink of catastrophe, the Chief and his voluptuous secretary, Miss Rose, turn to The Hero to save the world from the diabolical plans of the nefarious Dr. Hubbub.

GAMEPLAY
Fly to the rescue, arcing gracefully through gorgeous cityscapes as you speed to the aid of scores of helpless victims. Call upon Freeze, Boom and Zapp powers to wallop Dr. Hubbub’s evil henchmen into submission.

Fill the Fame meter and The Hero’s ego by dishing out high fives to your adoring fans as you soar past their windows.

Awesome!
     

Ever since I heard about this game, I've been so psyched to get it! Basically, you're a superhero that flies around doing superhero-like things, like beating robots, saving babies, and deflecting meteors. You also have a crazy archvillain. There are acheivements for when you're bored, and a survival mode, so even when you beat story mode, you can still play. This is a great game, and I hope the developers will continue to update it.

One of the best
     

This is probably one of the most enjoyable iPhone games I've played yet. Controls are spot on and tight, graphics and art style are just amazing. Plenty to do with achievements and unlockables with a good bit of story missions. Stop reading the reviews and get it. This deserves to be in the top 10 iPhone games.

Amazing!
     

The iPhone needs more games like this. High production values all around, extremely fun, and well worth the money.
Amazing, great game. One of my favorites and I'm looking forward to the sequel already.

A few suggestions though- maybe add a few more animations? Show The Hero catch the baby or blow out the fire or punch stuff instead of just running into stuff.
If you could do multiplayer, that'd be amazing. :D

Anyways, a great game that I'm really glad I picked up. A must have in my opinion.
