The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is not as amazing as it sets out to be. Your neighborhood webslinger deserves a better game.

'Amazing' really is such a strong term. How about the fairly acceptable arachnid, instead? [Aug 2014, p.79]

It's kind of overhated but there are some extremely valid reasons to hate this game. The swinging is so uncomfortable in this game, I like the feature of using one trigger to fire a web from one hand but it's just not fun at all. When you talk about this game you have to mention the cutscenes which aren't bad but you can tell too well that they are done with motion tracking because the characters do not go one second without making some movement and it's really annoying but kind of funny sometimes. The story is okay once again and I really enjoyed the inclusion of Carnage and other villians.

Unwatchable piece of garbage right off the bat. Remind me of Iron man 2.Comically bad, pun intended.

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.

It is still fun to swing around the city, and some portions really shine, but a full-fledged, full-price experience Amazing Spider-Man 2 is certainly not.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 isn't a complete disaster, and I can easily see fans of Spidey enjoying it at a deep discount. It's just a shame that Beenox somehow got worse at making Spider-Man games over time, and that the powers that be insist on rushing them as movie tie-ins. Somehow, someway -- we will get our Arkham of Spider-Man games again. Until then, you can just pick up a used copy of 2004's Spider-Man 2.

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.

It may look like just another sloppy licensed game, but beneath the surface squirms a dissonant yet introspective deconstruction of the genre (probably).

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.

Not the best Spider-Man game out there but for the time it was released it’s decent. It’s hard to not have fun swinging around as Spider-Man! The gameplay is very outdated of course and the voice acting is horrendous but it was all we really had at the time before Insomniacs Spider-Man series .

While playing this game, I wondered how it was possible to create and release a product so simply bad. The previous part of this series was much better, which is why the state of this game is so incomprehensible. Pity!

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 falls short with its lack of innovation, recycling many elements from its predecessor that failed to impress. The game suffers from a lackluster story and unengaging gameplay mechanics, failing to bring anything new to the table. The repetitive missions, uninspired combat system, and uninspiring side activities make for a dull and unremarkable experience. The game's flaws are evident in its poor execution, with technical issues, clunky controls, and an overall lack of polish. It's safe to say that The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is a disappointing entry in the franchise and falls far below expectations, offering little to redeem itself.
SummaryThe Amazing Spider-Man, this all-new third-person action-adventure video game builds on the story of the previous game with an alternative take on the events of the upcoming movie, while also giving players an enhanced, free-roaming web-slinging experience through a greatly expanded New York City.
