"Spider-Man is a splendidly tuned action game with a stunning story, great action and gameplay mechanisms that won’t bore you for a moment. You should not miss out on this trip among comic heroes. It's a bomb! [Issue#289]"

"In terms of story-telling and direction this might as well be an addition to Marvel’s Cinematic Universe with its high production values. But as soon as you stray away from the main plot, you’ll land in an open world that is mostly beautiful to look at, but where some positive elements meet quite a few that are only average at best. Nonetheless a great superhero romp throughout." ... Read full review

You can feel the love Insomniac put into this game, and it goes a long way.

This surely is a Spider-Man game, and only a Spider-Man game, nothing more, nothing less. Nonetheless, this game makes you feel like Spider-Man

I’ve been a Spider-Man fan since childhood and the developers here have taken such care to make an exceptional game that clearly reflects their own Spider-Man fandom. Graphics: stunning. Script and voice acting: excellent. Plot/story: engaging, heart wrenching, and a perfect mix of surprises and maintaining expectations with the characters. Gameplay: highly polished, combat is fluid and intuitive with sufficient challenge to keep it interesting, animations that are almost perfectly seemless, and traversal is spot on - I never once even wanted to use fast travel. The music was also movie-quality and was really tightly integrated with gameplay to make it really immersive.… Expand

It's kind of funny how previous spider-man games got ripped on for doing the same thing as previous spider-man games or for copying ArkhamIt's kind of funny how previous spider-man games got ripped on for doing the same thing as previous spider-man games or for copying Arkham games or for their lack of innovation, when this game pretty much does the exact same thing but get's away with it. Maybe it's because it's been years since we had the last Spider-Man game, or maybe it's because this game is more polished than previous ones, even though it's still not perfectly polished. There are bugs, and they are annoying but for some reason THIS one gets a pass. Well, not by me it doesn't.

Let me start by saying this game is good, no doubt. The story is great, the gameplay, while taking some getting used to, is also great, the animations are great, the graphics are great but some parts are just repetitive and there are game breaking bugs that do indeed break missions and force you to start over. Best example, when a guy you NEED to defeat is stuck in a wall and unreachable forces you to fail and restart a mission. This has happened a few times for me on my first playthrough. The missions are also repetitive, giving you little incentive to actually want to complete them. In fact, after you're done with the main story there's really not much else to do asides random crimes, which are all "Beat up bad guys" or "Save one or two people". Yes, there are challenges but for the love of god they suck so bad. The racing drone one's in particular suck so much, because the web swinging is completely random as to how it reacts to where you are. One moment, it will react perfectly the way you want then the next it will latch onto a building you weren't expecting and completely F you up on your challenge forcing you to restart, and these challenges are NOT easy and you NEED the tokens to unlock suits & gadgets which is even worse. The only way to unlock everything is to get the Gold rank on most of these challenges, which pretty much made me quit doing them. Then there's the other tokens, which are themselves also annoying to grind. You need crime tokens to buy gear & suits as well, and while they are easily available and unlimited to earn they are also tedious to earn making fighting crimes feel like a chore you need to do to get an allowance. That's not to say it's not fun fighting crimes, but it does get repetitive and repetitive always leads to boredom after a while.

Then there's Mary Jane Watson, who used to be a character I liked. A strong woman who stood by her man but also took no **** from him, I hate her now... She's become one of the worst women in Spider-man. Fricking Silver Sable is a better character than MJ now, and SS is as shallow a character as you can get. Also, I don't like playing as MJ or Miles in the forced stealth missions. Not to say their work isn't useful, but it is unnecessary. Miles going into gang infested territory to get some antibiotics or MJ risking her life to ... be a reporter? Wasn't that supposed to be Parker's job? What the hell happened to her acting career? Whatever... Black cat makes a cameo in the form of finding her cat statues, and until the DLC comes out she's not really in the game. Then there's the detective lady, who I can't remember her name... She's the drollest character in the story, a dull uninspired police-woman who's just there to give Spider-man direction through the plot. "Go get fisk, fix these towers, go get me groceries." That last one's a joke, but you get the point. She's a useless character.

The boss fights in the game are really fun, tho, with the exception being the first one against Mr. Negative. It was just a bland QTE boss fight, but the next one is awesome. Fighting 2 bosses at once in the air while webslinging, dodging moves, counter attacking, zipping around. Yea, that was really good. And the last boss fight was great as well, the one between those two was just okay. I think overall the fighting in the game is probably the best & most polished part about it. Attack with one button, web attack with another, dodge with another. It takes getting used to but once you get used to it oh man can you flow like a beast. Getting combos upwards of 80 or higher, in a fight against waves of enemies can be some of the most fun you'll ever have in this game. They really need to make an endless mode where you just fight enemies in an arena or something like that, cause whenever it ended I was always in the mood for more.

Overall, the game is good but it's not done what previous games haven't done before. It's just much more polished in it's execution of what they've done before. Using background object to attack enemies, Amazing Spider-man did it. Level up system? Amazing Spider-man did it. Open world collectables & web swinging? Every game after 2 did it. The main difference tho is that Insomniac perfected what previous games did, and that's what makes this one the best Spider-man game ever made.… Expand
