THE AMAZING SPIDER MAN 2 GAME REVIEW MOVIE
It simply pales in comparison to two of Beenox’s three previous efforts, and feels like it wasn’t given enough time by its publisher, Activision.Īlthough this game is named after the movie it complements, it doesn’t follow the same storyline, or even feature all of the same characters. That’s not to say it’s a bad or terrible game, though, because it isn’t and remains quite fun, mostly due to its web-swinging mechanics. Instead, it’s an undercooked downgrade from what we received not that long ago. Unfortunately, the final product is not that game. In honesty, though, all I really wanted was a game that would be built around its predecessor’s positives, and one that would end up being a better experience for it. However, I tried to be realistic at the same time, and made sure to not expect too much from it.
I’ll admit that I went into reviewing Beenox’s The Amazing Spider-Man 2 branded video game with high hopes. It’s becoming a trend now that it’s happened twice, which is unfortunate. Still, for every good game that they’ve crafted with this dream license, a mediocre-at-best one has followed. Going further, I thought that they did a good job with the character’s last interactive offering, The Amazing Spider-Man theatrical reboot’s tie-in. Several years ago, they gave me what is easily one of my favourite Spider-Man games to date, that being Shattered Dimensions. Let me begin by saying that I respect Beenox and think that its brand is represented by a talented collective. That was the case with Spider-Man: Edge of Time, a constrictive and somewhat boring experience that was set within a dull office building, and is, unfortunately, also now the case with The Amazing Spider-Man 2. There’s a lot there for writers and developers to pick from, yet they sometimes fail to take advantage of what’s right in front of them.
I mean, not only does he have all of the tools - including phenomenal agility, superhuman senses and the ability to web-swing at will - but he also comes with a ton of rich and thoroughly interesting fiction. Spider-Man is perfectly suited for the role of a video game protagonist.
