Summary

The Amazing Spider-Man is an action-adventure video game released in 2012, developed by Beenox and published by Activision. The game serves as a tie-in to the 2012 film of the same name, though it features its original storyline that continues after the movie's events. Players control Spider-Man as he swings through an open-world version of New York City, battling criminals and iconic villains like the Lizard and Rhino while facing Oscorp's mutated creatures. The game focuses on Spider-Man's web-slinging, combat, and exploration abilities. It has a mix of main missions and side activities. The gameplay includes stealth, brawler-style combat, and environmental puzzles.

Been a whole month since I've done a review apologies for that. Anyways I turned on my p3 while on holiday and decided to finish this. This game can be fun if you're not super strict on what gaming should be. It has a nice storyline however fairly different to the movie, sometimes it doesn't even feel like a game based on a movie. The storyline is probably the most interesting concept about it. The gameplay is challenging of you can't grasp to the controls. However where it truly shines are the boss fights. The boss fights are fun. And there are some really interesting and underused Villains in this game.

What truly makes this game flop are the gaming mechanics they're so clunky and all over the place. It feels unpolished. The graphics look outdated for a spider man game I've seen older ps2 Spider games that looked better than this. Especially Gwen's design. She looks cracked OUTTTTT.

Overall this isn't a game I'll ever visit again however I do have the sequel and will play that soon eventually. However if you've got nothing to play and you're a die hard Spider Man fan then go for it

The web swinging was fun and the comic book collectibles were cool. However the story missions rely too much on Oscorp as a location and the boss fights are nothing special.

I had fun playing it. Its not that bad
I think Insomniac games picked a lot of good stuff from this game.
I recommend everyone to play the PC version because it looks good and 60fps

I didn't like the close camera while swinging
