    What I don't see is a a comparison to the first game, so I'm including that.....it is very similar to the first game, where at first I wasn't too intrigued but as the game goes on it grew on me, mainly because there is no cooler way to move around in a game like spidey can, and they have improved on that with being able to use both sides to swing. the graphics are okay, the story is okay,What I don't see is a a comparison to the first game, so I'm including that.....it is very similar to the first game, where at first I wasn't too intrigued but as the game goes on it grew on me, mainly because there is no cooler way to move around in a game like spidey can, and they have improved on that with being able to use both sides to swing. the graphics are okay, the story is okay, i don't see the point of the multiple question addition, and it isn't the longest game in the world....but if you like spider-man you should like this game. Why an 8 and not a 9 or 10? the benchmark for me (and many others) is Batman: Arkham City, and where this game doesn't meet it is the complete lack of options for side missions of any depth, or more importantly medal campaigns or brawls, its story or nothing, and that doesnt make sense, and seems a little phoned in as far as effort, since the game is set up for it. one could argue that with the open world you get endless play but that is a couple small repitive options. really is a 7.5 overall but spidey gets a .5 bump in my book.… Expand

    This game is awesome. I don't know how the people gave a 7.2 for this game. I think this game is so real and I think that the creator of this is a total genius. The only problem is that the bosses are way too easy because none of them actually hurt me and I finished the game in 1 day and in 1 trial. But still one of the best games I have ever known.

    It is a very good game. Exceeded my expectations, even with medium graphics and simple gameplay, has an interesting plot and can guarantee hours of fun. The latest games spiderman this is the best.

    Well lets start by saying what a game, I loved every minute of it just like I did the 1st one. People are saying its very buggy well my copy was fine. Hope to see a 3rd one of these games prob be on xbox one which is cool, my advice if your not sure to buy this because of bad reviews ignore them and get it, graphics are great and game play is excellent. 10/10 for me

    I don't understand everyone's gripes with this game. The game is well made. Very well made. Swinging around the open world is an absolute joy. You can spend hours and hours of this game just swinging around. The movement is something Beenox got perfect for this game. The combat is fun and fluid, and Spider-Man flips around and has witty quips during it, making it feel like Spider-Man. AndI don't understand everyone's gripes with this game. The game is well made.

The combat is fun and fluid, and Spider-Man flips around and has witty quips during it, making it feel like Spider-Man. And while it is a bit clunky at times, those times are rare and it is easy to forgive them. There is a huge range of suits that will have an effect on the way you play the game in subtle ways, and they can all be levelled up to boost certain stats so you can select the suit that goes with the way you play. There are a lot of bosses which will make Spider-Man fans go "Hey! I know you!" It is excellent fan service, and each boss is unique and brings back the beloved 'classic boss battle.' Stealth sections are well put together and are more open than the previous game, so you can choose a path you want to take enemies out. It does require some thinking to take out all the enemies without getting caught, and I really like that. My only problems with the game come in the forms of the voice acting and the Hero or Menace system, and that's where it loses two points. The voice acting is sub-standard, and in my opinion doesn't do Spider-Man justice. The Hero or Menace system works like this: by performing heroic actions around the city you will raise your heroic level, which will increase the rate you level up suits, and in turn give a boost to the stats the suit you're wearing, making you a better hero, which is the way you should be. By ignoring side-missions and petty crime your heroic level will go down, until you finally descend into the menace bar. The higher your menace level, the more penalties you are hit with and the harder the in-game task force will try to hunt you down. On paper it sounds pretty cool, but it is executed poorly, and it gets to s stage where it's nigh on impossible to stop all the crimes going on in the city. I understand Beenox added the system to really put you into the hero experience and make you feel like you are the hero, but they just didn't pull it off. Despite these two flaws, the game stands out to me and is undeniably hours upon hours of fun. You definitely won't be disappointed with this game.… Expand

    Finally, there is a great Spider-Man game again. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is, indeed, amazing. The graphics are good, along with some good voice acting.

    For me, the game was not so bad, and for fans of marvel this is a game that gives a bit of nostalgia.

    From developer Beenox we expected something more than a bland, open-world Spidey game that loses almost all its interest after 5 hours.

    Beenox deliver a buggy, messy game that misses the essence of Spider-Man by a wide margin. Here’s hoping Activision entrusts the popular licence to another developer for the inevitable sequel.

    The Amazing Spider-man draws too much direct inspiration from the Batman: Arkham series, implements it too unevenly to warrant much praise.
