Jul 10, 2012A movie tie-in game better than the film it's based on.
-
Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)Aug 1, 2012Simply put: this game looks and sounds great, and after some gimmicky missteps with the last few franchise entries, we're pleasantly surprised to find this is the Spider-Man game we've been yearning for, not just another licensed tie-in. [Sept 2012, p.82]
-
Jul 3, 2012The Amazing Spider-Man may not only go down as one of the best Spider-Man games but one of the better movie licensed games out there because it doesn't feel like a movie game. Beenox did a great job of taking a movie based gaming and fleshing it out into its own thing.
-
Jul 2, 2012Even with abilities that are steadily upgraded as you progress, The Amazing Spider-Man never feels quite as precise as you might wish thanks largely to quicktime instructions that come too thick and fast for the timed responses.
-
Jul 1, 2012Fans of Stan Lee's genius can expect a wealth of funny and informative one-liners (recorded by the man himself) as he swings and pummels his way through Manhattan.
-
Jun 29, 2012The Amazing Spiderman is not your usual crappy tie-in but a good adventure with tons of stuff to do which really feels like a Spiderman game should.
-
Jun 26, 2012This is the real draw of The Amazing Spider-Man. You are Spider-Man. You may not feel it completely (as you would with, say, a Mirror's Edge-styled Spider-Man game), but there is no doubt that the heart of the game is once again in the free roam. It is fun to beat up bad guys with that particular Spidey flair, but nothing will ever replace the feeling players get while soaring through the city.

Pelit (Finland)Oct 14, 2012Amazing Spider-Man: The Video Game is terrific fun for web-slinging in the skies of Manhattan, but as a whole falls short of the brilliance of the Batman games it copies due to lackluster level design and repetitive gameplay. [Sept 2012]
-
Jul 24, 2012It is not amazing, however it is a good action-adventure with a new interesting story and it is quite fun to swing through Manhattan. If you can handle some smaller shortcomings, you will have fun with The Amazing Spider-Man.
-
PSM3 Magazine UKJul 31, 2012Web Rushing makes you feel full-on super-powered. Although clumsy interior sections shatter the illusion, this is almost Spider-Man's Arkham. [Sept 2012, p.98]
-
Aug 27, 2012The Amazing Spider-Man tries very hard to emulate Batman Arkham City, but despite solid controls, especially the well-designed Web Rush, and a good amount of single-player gameplay, the open-world concept doesn't offer much else in the form of any kind of really challenging gameplay and engaging side-mission variety as its obvious inspiration, the award-winning Batman Arkham City.
-
Jul 11, 2012The Amazing Spider-Man isn't the best superhero game out there, but it sure is entertaining. Web-slinging through Manhattan is really fun. The main story however is less impressive.
-
Jul 5, 2012The Amazing Spider-Man has laid an awesome foundation of gaming mechanics through its open-world design; I just hope to see more of it embraced in future games.
-
Jun 27, 2012The Amazing Spiderman isn't truly 'amazing' but it is a very nice game: well done in almost every aspect but it's not particularly challenging. Very fun to play and enjoyable, but after all, it should be called "The Average Spiderman".
-
Jun 26, 2012When developer Beenox gives Spidey room to soar, you get caught up in the pure elation of swinging through a spirited city, where helicopters hover overhead and well-wishers call out to you in the streets. And that elation is the best reason to don the suit once more and remind yourself that with great power comes good fun.
