    The Amazing Spider-Man 2 continues to swing with energy, but you can see some of the strain peeking out of his suit. Between the glitches from rushed development and some unnecessary gameplay segments (go…away…Peter!), it's not nearly as good as Beenox's other efforts. Here's to hoping that for the next game, Activision lets this team run wild on something inventive and new. Certainly couldn't hurt this web-slinger's chances.

    Essentially picking up where the last game left off, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 does little to push the series forward, instead choosing to play it safe and reheat the same gameplay structure. That said, there's still a fair bit to enjoy here, especially if you missed out on the first Amazing Spider-Man.

    The Amazing Spiderman 2 may not do total justice to our hero, but the ride is a good comic book distraction.

    The various game crashes, audio glitches, and unceasing loading make up an additional catalog of do-not-want, but it’s really just how diminished Spider-Man is that hurts. The anemic plot and the oft-repeated zingers give us a pencil sketch of the great Spider-Man, when he deserves to be inked and colored.

    But in the end, it becomes hard to recommend The Amazing Spider-Man 2 to anyone but the most devout of webhead fans, because it's a game that squanders all that potential.

    As usual, swinging through New York City as Spider-Man is an exhilarating and empowering proposition, but repetitive open-world events, unfocused/unrefined story missions, and a surplus of technical hindrances/poor design choices keep The Amazing Spider-Man 2 from being a solid movie tie-in.

    The biggest question you'll be left asking is why the Amazing Spider-man 2 exists. [Issue#148, p.102]

    It’s a good Spider-Man experience, I love the stealth and the suits. I enjoyed playing the first one and this one is probably just about as good

It hit's spider Nirvana in an all time high. The missions don't seem repetitive as you cut crime. The undercover Peter missions have an underlying campaign that gets you involved so much.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. i played the first amazing spider man game and really enjoyed it but this just seemed like a step backwards. While i still found some things enjoyable most thing need work now. The first game simply need more to it like more diverse story missions and more to do in the open world. This game seemed like it tried to expand on the open world side missions but missed the mark there mostly unexciting and the same followed by an unneeded news headline after every one. The story started slow and i spent more time the first four mission as peter talking to Kraven, Kingpin and Felica or anyone else rather then do anything. When the story finally does start opening it seems like the devs just said ok how many villains can we fit in this short story? as its villain battle after villain battle with a few fights with normal enemies in between( sometimes i think i went from kingpin to electro to goblin with only fighting 3 guys before goblin) these boss fights were largely unexciting and stale and didn't really have much point and kinda left me like ugh do i have to fight this guy

    i will say there were some things i enjoyed such as the web swinging being able have a trigger connected to each arm was alot of fun and made wed swinging very enjoyable and i do like web rush though occasionally it didn't always work combat was fun though it got repetive with lack of combos and the same annoyingly lame lines. I did also enjoy taking the enemies out with stealth however that was a little buggy (such as an enemy looking away from me somehow would see me take out his buddy only to go clueless when i web rushed away

    overall i feel like Beenox toke a step backwards elements of the first amazing spiderman are still there but they scraped it down instead of adding to it hopefully with the next one the fix that    … Expand

    Lets start with the bad. The load times are terribly long, and extremely often. All side quests are nearly identical and while "open world",Lets start with the bad. The load times are terribly long, and extremely often. All side quests are nearly identical and while "open world", most of it isnt open. The story is short, and not worh the $60 price. The movement is clunky, and did I mention the endless nonstop load times. That being said, it can be fun if you stick to the main missions ONLY. If you are a spiderman fanatic, I would pick this up used and avoid the $60. Everyone else, if someone loans it to you try it out, otherwise save your cash.

    If you get a chance to play it for free sometime down the road though, not a TERRIBLE game. Just not going to be confused for even half as good as the majority of batman games.    … Expand

    So much worse then the original Amazing Spider-man game. Combat was slightly improved but everything was worse. The loading screens afterSo much worse then the original Amazing Spider-man game. Combat was slightly improved but everything was worse. The loading screens after dying was insanely long as well. The open world was so boring and the story was so forgettable. The enemy variety is also lacking as well. Still fun to swing around in the open-world though.… Expand
