    Just like the movie, this spider man story should have never been released. The combat is terrible, the graphics look like a xbox 360 game, and easily gets repetitive. The storyline is even worse than the movie this game is based off. If your a marvel fan, you should definitely not play this game.

    Terrible writing, outdated menus, frequent load times, repetitive missions, bugs galore, and they MESSED UP the web swinging. the graphics are barely passable. spider man looks cool while everything else looks dull and ugly. this game tries to be an arkham city, but FAILS miserably. in the end, unless you are a VERY devout spider man fan, don't buy this. get the first amazing spider manTerrible writing, outdated menus, frequent load times, repetitive missions, bugs galore, and they MESSED UP the web swinging. the graphics are barely passable. spider man looks cool while everything else looks dull and ugly. this game tries to be an arkham city, but FAILS miserably. in the end, unless you are a VERY devout spider man fan, don't buy this. get the first amazing spider man game, or hell, get spider man 2 on the gamecube, ps2, pc, or xbox. beenox did not even try with this title.… Expand

    2.Side missions are all one and the same.
    3.HERO OR MENACE SYSTEM IS MENACE TO THE WORLD!!
    4.Crashing,freezing and problems.

    Not that bad. But pretty bad. Open world and web swinging is honestly a blast. Thats about it though.

    If you can ignore long loading times, bad story, and repetative combat this is the best way to play spider-man on xbox, the web swinging is clearly not perfect but the stealth is surprizingly fun. This game was unfotunatly clearly rushed out and it shows. But it does atleast improve on certain aspects of the original

    My Honest Review
    I will say that I love Spider-Man he is my favorite superhero and I have played multiple Spider-Man games with that said here we go. I bought this for the Xbox One and I just beat it and not being biased I don't know why there is all the HATE on this game that there is. I personally loved the game. I loved the boss fights as well as the free roam and the combat was    My Honest Review
    I will say that I love Spider-Man he is my favorite superhero and I have played multiple Spider-Man games with that said here we go. I bought this for the Xbox One and I just beat it and not being biased I don't know why there is all the HATE on this game that there is. I personally loved the game. I loved the boss fights as well as the free roam and the combat was Awesome. My only gripe would be that it got annoying sometimes to do a side mission just to keep the hero meter from going to the menace level but I got over that. I spent probably 8 to 10 hrs playing it maybe a little less,but regardless I had fun with the game and yes I did beat it. I saw the new movie in IMAX and a lot of people are complaining that the game models and voices are nothing alike,and while that is true it didn't kill the vibe of the game at all in my opinion. I would recommend this game to all Spider-Man fans and fans of superheros in general.    … Expand

    So 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.

    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.

    Like the Transformers games, this is one of those shallow, mandated movie tie-ins. [July 2014, p.87]

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