Stealth scenes also return, and again, especially considering the Detective Vision-like Spidey Sense, heavily evoke feelings of the Predator scenes from Arkham.
All you really need to do to win is mash the attack button and occasionally press the counter button to dodge and counterstike - there isn’t much to it. Hits as a whole lack an impact, and despite the fact that the framerate remains fairly consistent, Spidey’s animations are incredibly poor, and on top of that you’ll have to watch the same few combos over and over. So while movement around the game’s open world is great, everything else is kind of a mixed bag.Ĭombat in particular is part of that mixture, as it takes cues from counter-based systems like the Assassin’s Creed and Arkham franchises, but a lot less inspired and clean. It actually feels pretty great and achieves a sense of speed very close to the films - and that’s not even mentioning the slingshot move that can shoot you forward at high speed, or the returning slow-mo move that lets you pinpoint certain jump points. This allows Spidey to maneuver about with grace, since you can let go of the button early to fling yourself to and fro with the new physics engine. Yep, that’s right, invisible air swinging is no longer an option for the most part. The idea is simple in that the left and right triggers control left and right webs respectively, forcing you to actually see a physical anchor point before swinging around. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (3DS, PC, PS3, PS4, Wii U, Xbox 360, Xbox One)įirst things first: The Amazing Spider-Man 2 manages to do web slinging right - something practically no other 3D Spider game has in years. While I saw a lot of hope in the first Amazing Spider-Man game, there’s been an unfortunate drop in quality the second time around. Spidey led the way in fact on the NES, and continued his streak into the SNES with classic brawlers like Separation Anxiety and Maximum Carnage, and one of my personal favorites - the 1995 cartoon adaptation.īut ever since 2004’s Spider-Man 2, developers have struggled to recapture the magic of what it means to swing about in 3D. Spider-Man games used to rule the roost when it came to licensed comic book properties.
