    The more I play The Amazing Spider-Man 2, however, the more I'm viewing it as a superhero game that just happened to have come out at the same time as a movie wih the same name. Obviously, there's a little more corporate synergy at work than that, but it's a sign of this game's quality that it 100% stands up on its own.

    For all but the most passionate Spider-Man fans, TAS2 is one you can safely skip or get by with on a rental.

    Perhaps the biggest problem with The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is that it doesn't stray much from the previous game's formula, and when it does, it actively detracts from the game.

    The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is an entertaining but flawed experience. Beenox has aced the web swinging, but the controls are unreliable and the camera work is horrific at times. It’s apparent that the game was rushed to be released at the same time as the movie.

    Although The Amazing Spider-man 2 isn't a catastrophic disaster by any means, there's also absolutely nothing to recommend it.

    To summarize, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is a pity. It's a pity because the potential is there. I do not understand why they cannot treat this superhero with more respect and why they always have to wait for a movie to force a simplistic system in the "awesomeness" that is navigating from web to web through New York.

    Developer Beenox showed in the past, with Shattered Dimensions, that it not only has fresh ideas for Spidey but the development chops to create a polished and impressive game built around the character. There's none of that inspiration or attention to detail here.

Takes a while to get the hang of it, but like anything you'll get the hang(Yes, pun intended) of it. All in all the game is a great adaptation to be the webhead! Expand

    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 boughtI 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 PS4 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

The game has lots of technical issues, and every review I've read so far has been moronically comparing it to the fan-favorite Spider-Man 2 for the PS2. However, this is its own game and it succeeds at what it attempts to be. Lots of fun, and truckloads of fanservice. This is an extremely solid Spidey game that all real fans will enjoy, but if you're not a fan, you might not want to bother. Expand

    Beenox deserves a trophy for this game. Not in the sense that this game is fantastic ( or by anyway above tolerable ) but considering theBeenox deserves a trophy for this game. Not in the sense that this game is fantastic ( or by anyway above tolerable ) but considering the limitations and budget placed on them by Notorious Publisher Activision and their considerably small budget, this game is a standing achievement. This is one of the most enjoyable Movie licensed games in recent years ( Along with XMEN Origins:Wolverine ).

    I will not bore you with the details,seeing as there are literally dozens of other sources that go far more in depth then I'd go,my advice would simply be this: If you are a massive Spider-Man game or you liked the previous title this isn't a bad purchase.Anyone else would be better off waiting for the eventual price drop and picking the game up then.

    Beenox fails to make a good sequel to the original amazing spiderman game.

The combat is not well done, it doesnt feel like its free fighting, its more of a restricted aspect of fighting. The bosses in this game don't look good espically green goblin, he looks really different and ugly. The story is okay and could be improved dramatically. The only good things about this game are the web swinging, it definately feels different than the other games and the hero or menace system. The costumes dont feel any different when you play with it, but i guess the appearance of it are worth it? The slot machine game was absolutely like torture, it was really boring and just painful.......Don't even try it unless you have time and you're ready for the pain. After beating the game my first words is "What did I just play??" Overall The Amazing Spiderman 2 is a okay game with really well done web swinging and it is a game you should just try for the web swinging if you were to pick this up otherwise its a incomplete game....
