The Amazing Spider-Man
Go beyond the movie to experience what it's like to BE Spider-Man like never before.
Set shortly after the events of Columbia Pictures' new film, The Amazing Spider-Man throws New York City's brand new hero back into free-roaming, web-slinging action, as he protects the Big Apple from a deluge of unimaginable threats.
Experience the new Web Rush mechanic as Spidey twists his way through the NYC skyline with unprecedented speed and grace. The game's original story also explores beautiful indoor environments, as you'll encounter everything from skirmishes with everyday street thugs to pulse-pounding confrontations with Spider-Man's most lethal foes.

The new Amazing Spider-Man is a great game, taking place after the film but weirdly coming out before it, I strongly suggest you watch the film first, many spoilers! This game is very much like Spider-Man 2, which is a good thing! Even the music has been taken from the Treyarch series of Spider-Man! But the game has improved on things, mainly adding in little extras that look good on the eye and gameplay tweaks.
The combat system has been completely changed, and works well, but play on Super-Hero difficulty for a challenge. However the combat in Arkham City is a lot better! The free roaming is far better in this game though, and on completion you can pick what time of day/ weather you want to roam about in! But what I most like about this game is how it plays true to the comics, the boss battles are great, oscorp plays a major part, Peter's apartment is used frequently, photo missions, car chases, stealth, great webbing techniques like webbing foes to the wall and webbing cars into giant webs on the side of buildings! Also more suits are easily obtained, like the original Spider-Man film series red and black suits, and comic book pages are scattered across the huge city, 700 to be exact, they unlock real Amazing Spider-Man comic books to read!
So therefore I recommend this game, if you're looking for a game as stellar as Arkham City, well it's not! But this is the closest a Spider-Man game has have ever come to being that great!

What a great return for our beloved super hero Spider-Man. Exploring the open world of Manhattan by swinging your way through the city, stopping robbers, confronting Rhino (easily the best villain in this game). The wall climbing mechanic has been fixed so it is no longer confusing on which direction you are climbing, and the web swinging is fantastic, how the camera blurs as you swing your way through new York city making you feel like the Spider himself. I could go on all day praising this game as everything is done to near perfection for a Spider-Man game. My only concern with the game is the age rating, Beenox have certainly aimed this game towards an older audience, and while I have no problem with that a younger audience might. However all in all this is a great game filled to the brim with content to collect and explore while enjoying the fantastic storyline. Move over Batman Arkham City this is the new ideal superhero game to own.

I absolutely loved this game! I was in two minds at first as Spiderman 3 was such a let down. I played it for 10 minutes in HMV and thar was it. I was hooked. I bought the game the same day and played it for a good 6 hours that night.
This game see's the return of free-roam, something that made Spiderman 2 the amazing game that it was. I loved having the ability to climb the tallest building in New York and just dive off it. The control you have over Spider-man in this game is astounding. With a simple click of RB - I play Xbox - you can have Spider-man web zip to a building, run along the windows and then leap into the air while doing some acrobatics that would make Olympic gymnasts envious.
Another thing that completely kicks butt is the combat system - see what I did there? It's kind of Batman-esque. You can build up massive combo's and then unleash some amazing finishing moves. You can use the environment to your advantage by throwing all sorts of things at your enemies i.e. dustbins and gas cylinders - to name a few. You can hide in the shadow and perform scary silent take downs.
Over all, I give this game a 10/10. It's great fun and is a good follow on from the movie.

This is a really fun game to play, you don't need to think much you can just sit back and enjoy as you swing from building to building, that said it is a very short game and not worth £40 I got mine for free with an xbox but if I had paid for it I would have been slightly disappointed however this is a game I am glad I played.
If you have a chance to rent it or pick it up for cheap then I would say do so but you wont be occupied for too long maybe a weekend at best, but it would be a good weekend :)

The spiderman games like the films will be loved by many of its fans for just having spiderman in it, but that doesn't always make a good thing! Well move over the spiderman of the last 10 years, there's a new entry into the series!
"The Amazing Spiderman" made by Beenox, the makers of "spiderman shattered dimensions" and "edge of time" decided that to make a good spiderman game you need to include free roaming in an open city enviroment. Manhatten is recreated in the game, not completly accuratly but all the landmarks are there! The city comes alive as the graphics are excellent and the day and night cycle along with other weather effects during the missions add to the atmosphere of the city.
Spiderman has a new ability in the form of "web rush, with a tap of the "LB" button u will enter a 1st person viewpoint and be able 2 select the next area want jump/swing to in the enviroment! This coupled with smooth animations make traversing the city easy and extremly fun!
Side missions can be taken on in the form of photography, or helping the police deal with petty crime around the city between missions.
Combat in the game Is fluid, spiderman attacks with "X", dodges/counters with "Y" and webs up enemies with a tap of the "B" button! There is also stealth sections including silent takedowns (a la batman arkham series) and XP can is gained and used to level up and gain abilites and upgrades.
The story takes place after the film and does contain spoilers so play at your own risk! The story is of a good quality but I found it disappointing that it mostly takes place inside where as I'd prefer the freedom of the city!... Read more ›
