    Insomniac was the perfect choice to bring everyone’s friendly neighborhood spider to life. Everything feels torn straight from the movies/comics. The combat, the music, the art direction, the famous Spidey mouth. All superbly done. The story and villains are done great too. Familiar faces but with that insomiac spin. Love it. And the web slinging is fantastic. Really feel like Spider-Man.Insomniac was the perfect choice to bring everyone’s friendly neighborhood spider to life.

    As a long time fan of the webhead I wondered if this game would be able to live up to the bar that was set by Spider-Man 2 on the PS2/Gamecube. What that game did so well was the physics based web swinging.

    Fortunately the resounding answer is yes. Insomniac not only met that high bar but they surpassed it. Visually the game is stunning.

What that game did so well was the physics based web swinging.

    Fortunately the resounding answer is yes. Insomniac not only met that high bar but they surpassed it.

    Visually the game is stunning. New York has been realized convincingly with tall skyscrapers and a convincing populace. Spider-Man 2 allowed you to go to ground level, ride a car here or there, recover a kids balloon, deliver Pizza's. But this feels far more robust.

    There are dynamic events throughout the city to engage in. Maybe you stop a getaway car. Foil a robbery. Spot some thugs on a roof top? Send them flying over the edge only to see them stuck to the side of the wall.

    The combat is excellent. There is such a rhythm to it. You can dive between an enemy's legs, hit a guy behind them, bounce backward, web a manhole cover and twirl it about before sending it into some hapless goons noggin. Then you have all your web abilities like a web bomb, spider drone and more to boot.

    The web swinging has been done wonders too with a number of tricks you can perform.

    All of these really shine in the outposts and hideouts you can take down using a mix of stealth and bare knuckle fisticuffs.

    There are plenty of collectibles to collect that can then be used to unlock suits and upgrades. Insomniac didn't stop though. They continued adding new suits and fresh content with DLC including the beloved Raimi suit.

    The story too is frankly amazing. While the Arkham games have always excelled at presenting Batman's rogues gallery and delivering a Batman vs. Joker story? Spider-Man's story in this game really gets to the heart of what makes Peter Parker Spider-Man.    … Expand

    I love how XBOX and Nintendo fanboys are trying to low down the score. You're so ridiculous guys.

    On the other hand, the game is completely awesome. I played a few a hous and I think that it could be one of this generation must have, just like GOW (PS4), The Witcher III or The Legend Of Zelda BOTW (Switch).

    I actually did all of the side content and got the platinum trophy... I almost never do side content, especially in sandbox games. The web swinging, combat and mini games were so enjoyable though I just wanted to do as much as possible. I loved the story too. I'm already thinking about doing a second playthrough. Currently my game of the year simply because I had so much fun playing it.

    The wide range of suits is a nice touch including Movie suits. The Story itself its interesting and there is always a plot twist around the corner that you didnt see coming. each character perfectly represents their comic counter part while keeping it interesting as you progress.

    This is definitely the best spider-man game, the best super hero game, one of the best games I have ever played.

    First, the story is one of the most immersive and original aspect of this game, a well thought masterpiece and one of my favorites, way better than all of the spider-man movies out yet. Game-play, man, after this game, I realized I've never properly swung across New York    This is definitely the best spider-man game, the best super hero game, one of the best games I have ever played.

    First, the story is one of the most immersive and original aspect of this game, a well thought masterpiece and one of my favorites, way better than all of the spider-man movies out yet.

    Game-play, man, after this game, I realized I've never properly swung across New York properly, with the physics and well crafted animations you really feel like spider-man, you almost feel the wind touching your skin. You feel New York. Peter Parker as a character was awesome. Playing with him usually contains some puzzles but that's no problem, i heard MJ parts was boring but I disagree, I think stealth sessions was a good way to balance the tempo. By the way I loved the Insomniacs take on both of these characters. MJ makes great as a Journalist and personally better than being an actress. This improves her relation with Spidey greatly.

    Combat, aside from amazing traversal, combat is also amazing, an important part is it allows you to make strategic decision, you can take enemies out with multiple ways with those large amount of gadgets and of course your trusted web shooters, hands and legs too... the amount of combinations you can do is limitless, and the combos too. The finishers in the game really makes the fight alot interesting, there is large amount of finisher animations in the game and it is amazing I would say the feeling of hits isn't that great but when you pull these amazing combos and finishers you don't desperately need it, your eyes just lock to the screen. From the last sentence you might think that the combat is easy, it's definitely not the case. Don't think I'm spider-man these punks can't to anything to me. These guys really push you, they don't wait until you beat the other guys then strike, they just fight you with all they got. You may find yourself trying to escape a never ending sequence of gun shooting, rockets and more. And you will deal with it with your abilities and things i listed above.

    Side Activities and Collectibles, there is plenty of them. I can say they are original and creative but one negative thing i'm going to say because they are plenty, if you try to finish all of these before finishing the game, it can drive you away from the story a little.

    A thing I'm a little disappointed about is boss fights, they are fun and all but they all have a pattern and when you know what to do, the rest is doing the same thing again and again until you beat them.

    There are certainly alot left to say but my hands are slowly getting tired =) After all it was definitely worth the hype and overall a great game, an awesome game, an amazing game, a spectacular game, best super hero game yet. I know i may praised the game too much but these are my honest opinions and Im a huge spider-man fan. Always Be Greater.    … Expand

The city of New York is alive, civilian driving, celebrating when you pass next to them and doing an activity like doing yoga, dancing and even playing basketball. The music is recognizable, but with the own twist of the composer from insomniac. The graphics are smooth and beautiful nothing wrong to say about that. Insomniac just did the Holy Grail of the superhero genre of game. The storytelling of resistance, the gameplay of sunset overdrive and the humour of Ratchet and Clank have prepared Insomniac games to create the greatest Spider-Man game. It an absolute buy for every fan of the web-swinger and for every ps4 owner. (sorry Xbox players)
    Final word: play this game you won't regret it!

A medida que el juego avanzaba, se volvió más y más espectacular.

    There are myriad good reasons why Marvel's Spider-Man is the best-selling and highest-rated Spider-Man title in years. While it has a few glaring flaws, they pale in comparison to all of the things the team at Insomniac got right. A well-acted, strong story serves as the backbone for an experience that just plain feels right for Spider-Man, and fans and newcomers alike won't be disappointed by this trip to the Spider-verse.

    This game does for Spider-Man what the Arkham series did for Batman. Immensely satisfying movement system, excellent combat, fast pace, superb visuals and wealth of side activities converge to bring a wonderful experienced, diluted only by some minor missteps in the story and a couple of stealth sequences where you control supporting characters instead of Spidey.
