    Can't remember too much of the story, I mainly remember this game being a better version that the second one. Finding different Spiderman costumes was fun and taking down the huge robots was also very fun. Combat was basic and nothing special. Stealth in this game I remember being very fun.

    The web-swinging is great... but that's about it. Everything else in this game is average, gameplay is basic & decent, and story is not very well written.

    The story leads on from the events of The Amazing Spider-Man movie, which I was a huge fan of by the way, and it includes a lot of the same characters including Dr Curt Connors, Gwen Stacey and, of course, Peter Parker/Spider-Man. Although the combat system isn't quite as flawless as the Arkham series, it is still solid and can provide some fun when taking on a huge gang of enemies using different combos, slinging webs left right and centre. While gliding around Arkham City is a fantastic experience, web-swinging your way around New York City collecting everything there is to be collected provides more fun than you'd think, and does cap off a very decent game.

    There are problems with the game, glitches and sometimes idiotic AI enemies sometimes make the game much easier than it should be. A final boss fight that you can pretty much walk through doesn't provide any kind of challenge that should be there if you're Spider-Man, and this is quite disappointing.

    All in all, a slightly above average superhero game that has its moments, but not enough.    … Expand

    The Amazing Spider-Man is set as an epilogue to Paramount’s reboot of the Spider-Man series. As you would expect this gives away the majority of plot of the movie. To avoid spoilers I will keep the summary to a minimum. The game is centred around the outbreak of a virus that transforms the people of Manhattan into cross -species similar to the Lizard.

    Story: 7/10 As you can expect from    The Amazing Spider-Man is set as an epilogue to Paramount’s reboot of the Spider-Man series. As you would expect this gives away the majority of plot of the movie. To avoid spoilers I will keep the summary to a minimum. The game is centred around the outbreak of a virus that transforms the people of Manhattan into cross -species similar to the Lizard.

    Story: 7/10
    As you can expect from a movie tie-in, The Amazing Spider-Man game is built on references to the movie. However Beenox did their best to create an independent story that will not affect any of the future films unless they decide to include Scorpion or Rhino which I doubt. The beginning of the story is similar to Rocksteady’s Arkham Asylum with Peter and Gwen exploring Oscorp after hours in a first person perspective and things go to hell and Spider-Man must come to the rescue. Although I found the story enjoyable I didn't really feel the need to continue with the story and spent most the majority of my time collecting collectables and doing side missions. The characters in this gain are perfect representations of their counterparts in the film and in the comics. Spider-Man is a witty and funny as ever and although the actors from the movie did not lend their voice talents to the game I felt that the cast did an excellent job. Beenox reintroduce classic comic book villains such as Rhino, Scorpion and Vermin as Cross-Species creatures leftover from Dr. Connor’s experiments in the movie. They also introduce Dr. Alistair Symthe and the Spider-Slayers as “protectors” of Manhattan trying to stop the virus outbreak.

    Gameplay: 9/10
    This is Beenox’s first take on a sandbox game and they do a terrific job. They have taken the classic feel of the Spider-Man 2 to the next level intense high speed web swinging and close view of Spider-Man making the player truly feel like Spider-Man. It is very evident that Beenox have based the gameplay on Arkham Asylum with the combo based combat system with Y to counter. This can also been seen in the stealth element of the game where Spider-Man can sneak around on walls and drop and defeat enemies using stealth takedowns. However this style of gameplay is perfect for both Batman and Spider-Man with heroes darting around ceilings and taking out multiple enemies with ease. I found that Beenox went overboard with making a superhero game as the game is very easy even on the highest difficulty which sometimes can take the enjoyment out of a game. The game features a new ability called Web Rush were Spider-Man’s perception of time is slowed down so he can lock on to where to web swing to next or which enemy to attack. This is an amazing feature but is part of the reason why the game is so easy as the player can easily dart across rooms before any enemy can keep up.

    Graphics: 7/10
    Let me start of by saying that swinging around Manhattan as Spider-Man looks amazing with wind passing by you and lens flare in your coming off buildings. Most of the stages however take place in the sewers, subway and in Oscorp which most of the time appear dull and boring which is quite disappointing. The Spidey’s suit has never looked better with his suit tearing each time he takes damage. However the graphics of civilians and Alistair Symthe look poor at times but not enough to spoil the game. Also through the story the city becomes damaged and changes between 5 periods of the day. Some of Spider-Mans’ encounters with the Spider Slayers look amazing and feel like a high speed action film.

    Extras: 7/10
    As with most sandbox games, the collectibles and side missions are its strong suit. The Amazing Spider-Man has over 700 comic books throughout the city and another 100 inside missions. This may seem like an impossible task but with the newly added web rush ability it is quite easy. The game also offers a huge amount of side missions including tricks shots, rescuing asylum patients and taking photographs for a news reporter. However these side missions quickly get stale as they do not change much as you progress. The is an upgrading in the game which makes Spider-Man stronger and unlocks combos and moves but Spider-Man never really feels stronger than he did at the start of the game which is disappointing. Unfortunately despite the huge amounts of collectibles and missions I managed to complete the game at 100% in 13 hours.

    Enjoyment: 8/10
    I truly enjoyed The Amazing Spider-Man despite its problems. It felt like a true Spider-Man game with sandbox environment, a wide range of villains and excellent gameplay. I would have rated it higher but the side missions left a bitter taste in my mouth.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. [Condensed]

    For a game with so much promise, ultimately The Amazing Spider-Man is almost as far from amazing as you could possibly get. Good try Bennox, and as of now- even with 1 win and two losses, I still think you have a chance at turning the series around. Try something more along the lines of Shattered Dimensions again, but try to leave the open world formula behind. Especially now that we put it into the ground with nails to seal the coffin lid shut...

    Concept: Another attempt at trying to successfully return Spider-Man to some of his more entertaining open world moments utterly fails for the most part, with a few blips of amazing innovation on the radar here and there.

    Graphics: While New York is nothing much to gawk at, it is far from terribly designed- and the characters, especially Spidey, move around quite nicely- if they are a little robotic at times. Animations are about the only thing on par throughout the main duration of the game, and stringed together quite nicely.

    Sound: No talent from the film comes to the game, which is quite a disappointment as it shows glaringly throughout the entirety of it. Also, the sounds are completely generic, which is to be expected- after all, it is a bustling city.

    Playability: The lack of challenge may be annoying for some and great for others, but since the game is a breeze and your movements are Spidey-fast, everything seems to go by in a blur for the most part throughout the game.

    Entertainment: The only truly entertaining part is exploring the city, and even that is painful sometimes in this iteration of the series.

    Replay: Very Low

The gameplay is rather redundent and formulaic go there, beat up bad guys, fight a boss that even a monkey can beat (they are patheticly easy), repeat. Stealth sometimes feels impossible becuse of the AI being inconsistent sometimes the enemys will see you on the roof at complete night or they wont notice you when your standing behind a pole that doesnt even hide spidys body. The other problem for stealth is the controls, it can say that you can repeal from the roof but what spidey does is he jumps down to the floor getting instantly spotted. Fighting is like in Batman Arkham Asylum/City but less responsive you cant switch from an attack instantly to a counter becuse of a delay or downright unresponsiveness of the controls. Tho the game can be fun for the first hour or two but everything after that becomes pointless becuse fighting crime is tedious like I mentioned, colleting comics are only for the completionist or the Marvel fans and exploring Manhattan is pointless when there is nothing to do in the whole city after the main missions. The costumes are a cool idea, but I didint notice a diffrence from being original Spider-man, 2012 Spider-man, Vigilante Spider-man or any other costume it says that they give buffs but they dont seem to do a diffrence. Graphics are probobly the games most strongest thing field becuse the city looks great but most of the times inside of buildings you can see unrendered textures or bad textures but the map you swing around in is a feast for the eyes.… Expand

    The Amazing Spider-Man. Let me start off by saying that I love superheroes, so as you can imagine, I am a huge fan of Spider-Man. I've also played several video games based on Spider-Man. I've played Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions, Spider-Man 2 the game, Ultimate Spider-Man, and heck, even Spider-Man Web of Shadows. So yes, before I played this game, I played many of Spider-Man's bestThe Amazing Spider-Man. Let me start off by saying that I love superheroes, so as you can imagine, I am a huge fan of Spider-Man. I've also played several video games based on Spider-Man. I've played Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions, Spider-Man 2 the game, Ultimate Spider-Man, and heck, even Spider-Man Web of Shadows. So yes, before I played this game, I played many of Spider-Man's best video games out there. This game was released to tie in with the new movie that came out just a few days after this game. Considering that most movie-based games are known to suck, many of you are probably asking, why did I get this game? Well, Spider-Man 2 the game tied in with the movie, and I actually liked it better than the movie believe it or not, so I had to play this game. So is this game like Spider-Man 2 in which it makes the movie its based on look bad, or should you just watch the movie instead? Let's find out. The gameplay of this game is very similar to Rocksteady's Batman Arkham games. In other words, you can beat each mission using either a stealthy approach, or a beat'em up approach. Of course, Spider-Man has his own twists that make him different from Batman, otherwise this game would just be a complete clone of Batman Arkham City. Spider-Man relies more on his web shooters than Batman's gadgets for example. He is also much more acrobatic than Batman, and he can cling to walls in the shadows to get away from enemies rather than gargoyles. Outside of the game's main levels, the entire city of New York is also available for Spider-Man to explore and do missions in. Of course the real question would be: is this game's gameplay actually better than Arkham? No, not at all really. For example, it is way too easy. Even on the game's hard difficulty you will not find much of a challenge here, where Arkham provided a challenge at pretty much every turn. The game is also really redundant. You'll find that you are doing many of the same things over and over again just to succeed. That's not to say the game isn't fun, because it definitely is. Even the most redundant of tasks can be rather fun to play. However, after a long while, you just might get bored of doing the same missions over and over in New York. Also, I found an odd bug in this game that renders it unplayable. All I can say is, for your own good, don't even try to get any of the game's alternate costumes for Spidey. This creates a bug in which, after you finish the game, you are greeted with an infamous "Neverending loading screen of death". However, if you just don't get the alternate costumes to begin with, you should be fine. Overall, this game's gameplay is fine as it is. It just isn't Arkham. As for the graphics, they look great, but not absolutely fantastic. The city of New York is beautiful, and the details look good enough, but the game also looks a little blurry and weird. The character models are also a mixed bag. Some, like Spider-Man's look good, but others just look weird, and look like something out of a Nintendo Gamecube, rather than a current-gen console like the Xbox 360. I'd say that the graphics of this game look great overall, but they aren't quite as spectacular as I would've hoped. As for the story, I think that it is the best part of the game. It is very original, and is actually set after the events of the movie. Basically what happens is after the Lizard attempted to take over Manhattan (see the movie!), Oscorp has been hard at work creating more test subjects like the Lizard (more human animal hybrids). They get loose, spreading an infectious disease, and it's up to Spider-Man to stop them. I'd say that this game's story is actually better than the movie it's based on. I can't say this game is fantastic, nor is it better than the movie (anywhere other than the story). However, I still say that this is a game that if you want to buy, go right ahead. It is a great game, it really is, one of Spider-Man's best as a matter of fact. The real problem is, it doesn't really aim higher than many of the Spider-Man games that came before it. I just hope that its sequel can do better.

    The combat is fine if not slightly broken. I managed to hit a 84 hit combo on one guy before getting bored and only got 150xp for my efforts. The Stealth is nowhere near as good as it was in Shattered Dimensions but it worked well enough. The upgrade system however broke and I had to start a new game to get all the achievements. Only one photo in the game is miss-able and when you find out to late that you can't get 100% you'll probably be ticked off.

    The web swinging changes from indoor to outdoor environments, but Outside and inside you'll be using Web Rush anyway. It makes you fell more like the Spider-man of the films in those cheesy final shots in each film, but it takes the fun out of it when it's just simple point and click.

    The post game is just rounding up collectibles and finishing off petty crimes, but after that you are left to either swing around or replay missions. It's a solid movie title that has several problems major and minor that hold it back from being perfect.    … Expand

Personally I think a good thing would've been just a bit more time spent in development and an option to turn off and on things to make the game less childlike.

Overall: A good game that is probably the best Spiderman game on this generation's consoles. But it really is only for fans of the comics and the movie.… Expand

    The Amazing Spider-Man is a great epilouge of a video game which comes right after the Amazing Spider-man film left off. Plot: After the defeat of The Lizard, Dr. Connors is locked in an asylum as Alistor Symthe has led Oscorp industries in an era of robotics. When Gwen sneaks Peter into the lab, they witness that there are cross species being quarantined within the lab.

Plot: After the defeat of The Lizard, Dr. Connors is locked in an asylum as Alistor Symthe has led Oscorp industries in an era of robotics. When Gwen sneaks Peter into the lab, they witness that there are cross species being quarantined within the lab. They react to Peter's own cross species nature and begin to break out and attempt to spread the infection throughout New York. To make matters worse, Symthe has programed the robots to eliminate all cross species involving Peter! Peter breaks Connors out of Prison in the hopes they can create an antidote to the newly infectious virus. My opinion: This is a well done movie tie in, and I reccomend this to anybody who enjoyed the movie or anyone who wants to plain well feel the adrenaline of being the masked web crawler. Web Rush: at any moment within the game, a first person view into Spider-Man's mask will let you slow down time and co-ordinate any angle at which you want to aim your webs. This is by far the best Spider Man game out there with no time paradoxes and a classic feel on the Spider Man video game franchise.… Expand

    Great Spider-man Game, not quite up there with Spider-man 2 but still very awesome! This is right up there with the Batman Arkham titles. I wasn't quite so fond with the boss battles and the graphics need a little bit more work to make the Ultimate Spider-man game but this is a good start.

    As much of a cool mixture of '90s nostalgia and modern gaming, it doesn't mean that the game is all the memorable. Having the entirety of Manhattan to swing around between inside missions is a technological feat, but it might have done Beenox better to make a smaller, more densely populated environment to explore and experience different story beats.

    The initial few hours are exciting and thrilling, swinging through the city, stopping crimes and collecting comic book pages. But it soon feels padded out and derivative. [Oct 2012, p.58]

    The web swinging is better, and the combat system is much more effective (not to mention some awesome Signature Moves).
