    Honestly a massive joke. Why bother releasing 3 different dlcs instead of 1 massive one if it's going to a be a 3 part series? It would make more sense to release 1 big complete/polished expansion instead of a buggy/unfinished part 1 out of 3 short DLC.

    The story: Story ends in a cliffhanger... what a pile of s**t. So much buildup and an expected ending all to end in a cliffhanger for    Honestly a massive joke.

    The story: Story ends in a cliffhanger... what a pile of s**t. So much buildup and an expected ending all to end in a cliffhanger for the 2nd part... Nice. Also it's 2 hours worth of story too.

    The gameplay: More or less the same missions with an interesting twist on some of them. But for some reason the general level design was worse than what the main game offered. Sure the main game was pretty easy. But in comparison to the DLC, it's actually much harder (if you are playing on Ultimate) but it's not hard where it actually provides a challenge. More like it's hard because it's unfair, (Looking at the mission(s) specifically with the minigun mobs.) in some mission they shove so many rocket launcher/minigun mobs that you are bound to get hit. It's just poor level design with bad AI placement. It's hands down the hardest part of the game when playing on ultimate. (Even in the Main game it wasn't as bad as this.)

    Content: Aka "New taskmaster" challenges and a scavenger hunt (which was the best collectible so far in the game) The challenges were harder and were just modified versions of the original one to gold (in the combat challenges) because of pointless modifiers. (not really a compliant but it could frustrate many players going for gold.) But the new challenge is a fresh idea which I found cool but otherwise nothing to get hyped about. Also the suits are skins (no powerups.... no nothing.) Disappointing really.

    This DLC sucks really. it kinda seems like they cut too many corners and just pushed for release rather than making this a meaningful addon to the base game. Instead we just get another 3-4 hours worth of content where they just shove more enemies and add 1 collectible and extra taskmaster challenges. I'd suggest skipping this until all 3 dlc are released.    … Expand

    Very mediocre expansion. New enemy is annoying to deal with. new missions are not very fun and feel like work. And the new crime feels like a assassins creed “side mission” chore. Not worth your money and it wasn’t worth mine. Get it on sale.

    Pretty lame dlc, story and characters as bland as the original game. Just watch it on YouTube if you must.

    It isn't worth the price, for 10$ at standard pricing it maybe offers 2 hours of additional game play.

    Скучно и предсказуемо с самого начала. Определённо не стоит своих денег.

    It is a new story and that's about it. If you finished upgrading your skills and widgets during the main story, then this could be very repetitive. Longer/frequent combat than the main story and it gets very repetitive very quickly.

    Pretty mediocre and lackluster storyline. And I heard the developers created Screwball based on Sony fanboys. The only thing more annoying than Screwball is those Sony fanboys. You guys must have more Sony consoles than girlfriends dated combined. tze tze pathetic.

    Spider-Man: The Heist feels like a condensed version of the main game. The new story is immediately intriguing and Black Cat makes for a wonderful addition to the cast. If you enjoyed Spider-Man at launch, you need to check out The Heist.

    It’s unreasonable to expect Marvel’s Spider-Man The Heist to reinvent the wheel here, it’s a DLC for a game that was remarkably popular, and many are clamouring for more. However, I don’t think I’m the only person that will be a little disappointed at Marvel’s Spider-Man playing it safe, and it’s a prime example of how you can have too much of a good thing.

    The first Spider-Man DLC is short, but a great deal of fun thanks to a great story. It feels like the start of the story though and is not stand-alone, except for the side-missions. Those offer a change of pace and make the package worth it in the end.
