It's a little bit dated but I'd recommend "Armed and Dangerous" for the original Xbox and PC. There is a weapon in it called "The Land Shark Gun". I'll just leave it at that.
A good ass-stomping kind of game

This thread needs more mention of Dynasty Warriors, Samurai Warriors, Gundam Warriors, Warriors Orochi, One piece: Pirate Warriors, and pretty much any hack and slash made by Koei with Warriors in the title!
In the course of one battle you can end up ko-ing a thousand, or more enemy soldiers in melee, fight enemy officers in melee, and unleash powerful elemental assaults to increase the damage you do to enemies. And that's just starting up the game. You can get even stronger, still thanks to light RPG elements.
Of course these Warriors Games have some wonderful soundtracks to go along with your one (wo)man army act.
The Dynasty Warriors, and Warriors Orochi games, especially, have huge rosters of officers (about 70) of assorted shapes, sizes, and gender, and ages. Old Men, young men, teenaged girls, middle aged women, large men, small men.
Personalities vary, too! They can be a little flat, but I'd say the variety can make up for it.
There's almost as many different weapons as there are characters in latter editions such as spears, maces, dual swords, bows, giant swords, 6 telekinetic swords, war fans, cannons, claws, gauntlets, drill lances, crossbows, katana, bombs, gloves with wires on them, metal whips, a pool cue with billiard balls, twin batons, and so forth.
Some of these weapons cause lightning to strike, some or energy projectiles.
Empires editions forego the story mode of the base game (And are generally a good bit cheaper) in favor of allowing you to create your own officer, and either help someone take over china, or take china over for yourself. It also has some light rpg elements.
The warriors series from Koei also generally has some strategy to them. The amounts vary. Empires is usually stronger in the strategy department.
I.E. Dynasty Warriors 7 Empires has "strategy cards" that you can enable ranging from summmoning a companion animal (Tiger, wolf, or panda [the latter being my fav as they heal you now and then]) to flooding part of the map, creating rock slides, summoning a phantom army to guard a base, surrounding yourself in a poison mist, transforming bases into special upgraded types.
What you have access to depends on what personality you cultivate in your officer, and occassionally what other officers have, and what events happen.
In general, though, picking what route to take to connect the bases from your main camp to the enemy main camp, then taking said bases along the way is a staple. You can equip items, better mounts ranging from several horses to an elephant, or a bear (of the brown/grizzly type, I believe), secondary weapons, elemental weapons, etc.
Warriors Orochi as a series is nice, as it blends characters from Samurai Warriors and Dynasty Warriors, so you have ninjas, samurai, and chinese warlords.
Warriors Orochi 3 adds divine beings, demonic persons (including a 10ft tall boar man wielding a massive club), Characters from Ninja Gaiden/Dead or ALive (Ryu, and Ayane. Rachel is supposed to be added as well), Joan of Arc, Achilles, and so forth as the plot revolves around a demonic entity naemed Orochi, and warriors from across time coming to stop him.
The Orochi Series also adds some strategy in having a team of 3 officers with you that you can switch to any time, and receive support from as you roam the battlefield mauling peons, taking bases, performing goals, etc.
Koei/Tecmo Koei (Tecmo bought Koei recently) produced hack and slashes are generally easy to pick up, and play, but there's some elements to master to get the most out of it, and play in higher difficulties.
I highly recommend at least looking into the series, watching some gameplay, trailers, etc.
P.S. There's definitely the odds stacked against you danger scenarios. At least one. Fighting Lu Bu.
If not one of Koei's Warriors games, I suggest Saints Row IV. You're not quite iron man, more like Hulk and Flash as locomotion is more "hulk jumps" in that you jump high, and far (with room for power ups), and can run super fast. There's projectile blasts of varying uses, though none are beams.
Of course there's a litteral mech suit, though i'm not sure how well it'd measure up. There's vehicles, too. Some for flying, some for driving.

Wait a tick, I thought the only direction you could throw people with the whip is toward you.tippy2k2 said:

Prepare to blow the crap out of EVERYTHING. The Geo Mod 2 engine allows you to wreck anything at all that isn't the ground. AND it's a sandbox game. AND it's got a very decent selection of modes besides the normal single player that you can participate in.
You can throw them wherever you want. It's been a while but I believe you hold the R Stick in the direction that you want bodies to fly away to...Arnoxthe1 said:
How in the world did you play with just pulling them toward you? It's so much fun throwing bad guys at each other!
Yeah, but who the hell actually want to play the versus mode, it sucks. Exterminatus is the only good multiplayer mode.AndyRock said:
