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.

GA review (see
here for what the criteria are, and
here for what they are not)
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"
