Lastly, there are the Peter Parker segments. It’s fluid and feels nice to get a high streak without getting hit. The combat is pretty repetitive but that doesn’t really mean bad, it bares a strong resemblance to Batman: Arkham Asylum or Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor with a series of button bashing with a timed dodge here and there.

The web swinging is SO good, it feels fun and natural and incredibly freeing in a way that I’ve never seen before in a video game. The traversal comprises of running, jumping and, most importantly, swinging which is done through the left and right triggers that control the respective arm. The game can be split into three main sections: Traversal, Combat and Peter Parker segments. Although it looks pretty rushed in some areas, the game still holds up as a perfectly acceptable web-swinging adventure. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 was released in tandem with the Sony Film that was released around the same time. Get ready to blast around New York City in tight red and blue spandex while beating up the criminally insane in this homage to the web-head. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 answers that pressing question of “what would it be like to be Spider-Man?” The answer, of course, is ‘kickass.’ Our favorite web-swinger from Queens is back in this edition of the spider story.
