It isn't the Spiderman game that I was hoping for and I can only hope that The Amazing Spiderman 3 will be the game that we've been waiting for.As digital gaming stores start to show their age, a newfound tradition for the beginning of each new year has been determining which games have had their licenses expire and, as a result, are no longer available to purchase. The game should of been given more time to be made and only then will it of been the game that should of been released. The game only had around 1 year in development as it is needed to be released at the same time as the film. However I don't believe that the game was ruined because of lack of interest, but because of time restrictions. At its core elements such as fighting and web swinging the game can be very entertaining and fun to play but with all its problems it becomes a painfully average game with only echoes of its previous games greatness. Overall the game is a disappointment, it isn't the worst ever game or even the worst Spiderman game ever but it just needs more, there needs to be more missions, more characters development and there needs to be an actual story. You are basically unable to just swing around the city at you leisure you are forced into doing the same repetitive missions over and over again or you will be attacked no matter where you go. WHY!! The biggest complaint about the game is the hero or menace system, events occur all over the map and if you don't do them then you will become a menace and get the taskforce to try and take you down, this is one of the stupidest systems in any game to date. Also there is no Gwen Stacy in the game, she was in the first one but is absent from this game for an unexplained reason, they don't even say her name and she has practically disappeared from existence. In the game you can play as Peter Parker, this is completely pointless as it is just used to ask certain characters some questions or take a few photos. The only likable character (excluding Spiderman) is Stan Lee, he runs the comic book store which allows you to view action figures, comics or play the arcade machine which is just facing waves of enemies in a row. The game doesn't have any characters that are memorable or interesting other than Spiderman, Kraven the Hunter is given the role of a mentor but he isn't developed any more than that. Only one side quest in the game is actually quite fun and requires some stealth skill in order to complete them, all the others however are completely forgettable and take no time at all to complete. The game gave itself some freedom when it decided not to follow the movies storyline, but instead it just threw in a pointless uninteresting plot that had no effort put into it. But the game has so many problems, there are only 14 main missions in the game and there is little to no story at all, the game crams in around 8 villains all of which are easy to beat and present no challenge at all, even the final boss is simple and anticlimactic. The web swinging mechanics are vastly improved from the first game with webs connecting to buildings and using both the left and right trigger to change directions easier. The combat is taken straight from the batman arkham games (like the first game) the only difference is that you can preform signature moves at certain times which causes Spiderman to flip around and use his webs to finish the enemy off, these moves look great and were cool to see but there are only around 6 of them in the entire game. I bought the game on the 360 and the graphics were rather impressive, Spiderman looking the best in the game. The Amazing Spiderman 2 is disappointing Spiderman is my favourite superhero so the announcement of this game got me excited and when I found The Amazing Spiderman 2 is disappointing Spiderman is my favourite superhero so the announcement of this game got me excited and when I found out the features and villains In the game I was sold, I bought this on day and played it straight through in a couple of days.
