    I simply adore this game. It blew me away by exceeding all my expectations about the game. The game was so good that the only time i had to stop playing the game was when my controller batteries were low... And for me since i got my PS4 i have not played any game that had made me want to keep playing for hours and to drop literally everything to make time to play and enjoy a game.

It is defiantly a game that makes me feel that my money was well spent for the ps4 and especially for pre ordering such a spectacular game! ...

    Yes, it doesn't bring anything new to the table as an open-world game. But that's no reason to give it a score of 0... or 1 or 2 or 3 or anything negative. Or if you're an XBOX or PC gamer, again, don't ruin the score of a good game. I had to give it a 10 to balance these idiots. otherwise, I'd give it a 8-9.

    It's a must buy if you're a Spidey fan!

If you are a Spidey/Peter Parker fan then you are sure to love it. I'll admit that I'm only a few hours into the story missions, but I'm loving everything so far and there is lots to do in your very own NYC playground.

This is, so far, gunning to be one of my favorite Superhero games, and by far the best game since Spider-Man 2 on PS2 back in '04.    … Expand

    The web swing of this game is easily the best web swing of the spider games
    Peter is exactly the way he has to be, he is responsible, he gets rent late. This is the perfect Peter Parker.

Zipping around the city of New York has never felt so fluid and effortlessly cool. The combat is endlessly fun, there are tons of side quests, collectables and various random events that happen in the city such as robberies, car jackings & car accidents that you can choose to help out with to gain XP and save citizens in spectacular style or you can ignore them and come back to them later on in the game.

    I personally have been playing for over 20 hours and I've barely even touched main missions because you can easily get wrapped up in swinging around the city or taking advantage of Photo Mode and getting some great shots to see the true detail of the huge open world.

    So far I'm blown away with the game as a whole, it's everything I'd hoped for and more. I can easily see myself getting 100% completion and coming back just for the visuals and the gameplay. This game is the real deal!    … Expand

This is as close as you can get to feeling like the Amazing Spiderman. There's a true sense of speed and momentum you get while swinging through the streets of New York. It's only amplified by the fantastic musical score that starts as soon as you leap into the air and begin slinging webs. This personally, is my favorite aspect of the game. Every animation is graceful and fluid, and it can become a very fun skill to master.

    The combat is equally impactful and gratifying. Spidey can leap, and dodge very similar to the Arkham Knight series. But nothing feels outplayed or repetitive. The combat can be very challenging also. Jumping in the fray with 10+ enemies can prove to be very risky, and takes a keen reaction to your Spider-Senses to stay alive. Spidey can only take limited hits, and isn't a huge punching bag like Bruce Wayne can be. This satisfying difficulty is managed by the amount of gadgets you have at your disposal. The gadgets include everything from regular webs, to automated combat assisted spider drones. It all fits very well to the universe, and everything has a sense of believability to it.

    I haven't completed the main story yet, as there's no limit to the fun you can have when just running around New York, collecting backpacks, saving civilians, and fighting petty crime. But through the amount of story I've experience, everything seems top notch. The voice acting is great, with maybe a few line "hic-ups" here and there, but nothing that will ever make you cringe. You feel a real sense of connection to Peter Parker and his life situations, as Pete is always portrayed as a simple guy trying to make ends meet. He suffers with relationships problems, the same as modern day people would, through texts and social media for example. Every character is unique, and leaves you wanting to find out more to their own personal story.

    I couldn't have dreamed of a better Spider-Man gaming experience. Insomniac poured every ounce of love and respect into one of the most beloved super heroes of all time. If you're a gamer, comic, Marvel, and especially a Spider-Man fan, you owe it to yourself to buy this game. You will not be disappointed.

    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.
