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.

My brain has erased nearly all memories of this game, and looking at the reviews I think it did it for a reason. Only thing I recall is accidentally burning down a building because the game didn’t explain how to save people.

Um jogo fraco, de historia fraca, foi feito as pressas, pra vender em cima do hype do filme, infelzmente sem carinho. Um jogo em que você jamais desejerar jogar

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!

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 The gameplay is very outdated of course and the voice acting is horrendous but it was all we really had at the time before Insomniacs Spider-Man series .

This is BY FAR the worst spider-man game i have ever played! what were they thinking- oh wait they werent. if you thought the last game was bad, hold onto something. the amount of shear hatred and boredom this game invokes in me should be criminal. d ont even have the enegry to describe how bad this was. I created this account for the sole purpose of making this review because that just how bad this game is!!!

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.

Although it is a product of 2014, it has very good graphics and the fact that the game is short and the boss fights are consecutive is enjoyable.

It’s a good game. It has its flaws but it’s still a good spider man experience.

This is the first spider-man game and I honestly think it's great. I've played Arkham city and understand that it's a great game but also super gritty. I feel this game gives you the fun I was looking for to just be a superhero.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 stays true to its roots of Andrew Garfield Spidey. This can be seen with the sudden return of Green Goblin and Electro... And the mention of Gwen Stacy (despite not being shown). It is hard to understand whether this is a continuation of the film or another universe due to this. But back to the game. First, it needs to be understood that the was made to fit the schedule, which meant it had to be made first. But with that comes the cost of an almost poor storyline and plot. The problem with the storyline of this game follows the same problem the film had. Too many villains! it would've been better had the game been after one villain and was longer without introducing too many different plots. But this game isn't at all "Bad". It has amazing web-swinging. shooting and stays quite consistently when fighting villains (which can be repetitive at times). There are a few side missions which could've been better done with more voice-overs. Nonetheless, this game is good the first time around but won't have you playing week after week wondering what size mission you have to do. But it will keep you entertained while being played.

Such an Amazing Game, i feel so nostalgic when playing this! I like the Movement, and the Fighting-System feels smooth and cool, yea sometime it gets kinda boring but the Bosses where cool too.

Play literally any other spider-man game and you'll probably have a better time. The gameplay is pretty average for a spider-man game, but the story is terrible and throws out the cannon of the amazing spider-man movie universe completely, which is what this game is supposed to be based on.

this game had everything to be very good, but it ruined everything !! the web swing was extremely poorly executed, the game dialogs are heartbreaking, the graphics are very bad compared to The previous game , The game he disappoints in all aspects !! He could be much better but the creator ended the game, he seems to have been released in a hurry.

This game has many interesting concepts; swinging with each hand, pretty cool stealth segments, a reputation system, but this game needed another year in development

Somehow this game is worse than the first one. The combat is **** the grahics ****, the story is confusing. The swinging is bad and not pratical at all.Also, its buggy as hell. Maybe the worse Spider-Man game ever.

El juego no tiene nada que ver con la película, muchas misiones repetidas y muy poca variedad de enemigos durante el juego y un mal control y camara de juego, la verdad los juegos del aracnido han decaído mucho desde los juegos del Play Station One, pero si eres fan de los comics y del aracnido adelante.

Un mal juego de principio a fin. Graficos bastante malos y descuidados, un mundo libre al que le falta contenido, todo es repetitivo, aburrido y muerto, sin vida. La historia es bastante normal, igual que el diseño de Spider Man,. El gameplay es terrible, con unos controles muy incomodos. Es otro mal juego de super heroes que no te lo recomiendo, salvo que seas un muy gran fan del personaje, pero como juego es muy malo.

With Beenoxs newest addition to the Spider-Man universe, I feel as if they really quit when trying to create a universe that was both fun and also made sense. There were a lot of confusing concepts in this game, the story wasn't interesting and the gameplay never changed, the web swinging was the best it had been in the last 5 years but it also feels extremely plastic. You press the button, you hold on to the web for 2 seconds until it automatically lets go. The animation for the web swinging isn't creative and doesn't hold on type of good physics. He always looks the same when swinging. The graphics are OK, nothing incredible but they are exceptable. I however did enjoy fighting crimes and unlocking new suits. The fighting wasn't bad but it was just too easy. The boss fights could break the game over time too. I feel as if it wasn't beenox's fault of creating such a mediocre title, instead with the recent flaws that activision has been committing, such as low budget quick cash grabs, Activision really just cared about stealing money from young spidey fans. Beenox could have created an incredible game like they did with **** Dimensions, however activision slowly started to shift away to the Call of Duty genre. What doesn't make sense as well is that Activision just stopped caring about its fans. Adding Micro-DLC to every game possible, such as recent Call of Duty titles. Verdict: If you're a fan of spider man and you're looking for a game to waste a bit of time playing you won't be disappointed. However this game isn't worth half of its retail price. If you find this game for around 10 bucks, I would say its pretty fun, however a game so broken and unfinished doesn't deserve even 30 dollars.

Horrendous. Being someone who enjoyed playing through the first game, and looking forward to the sequel, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 smothers everything that was enjoyable about its predecessor as well as highlight and expand on all of the problems that the first game had. I would normally go into the good points about this game, but I really can't. What can I say, you can still web-swing? No, glitches multiplied by 10 from The Amazing Spider-Man makes it near impossible to complete any mission or side-challenge without running into a problem with the game. A shocker, an absolute shocker.

It's.. not great. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is one of those games that I want to call bad, but in reality, there really isn't anything terribly bad about this game. However, it didn't do a whole lot right, either. Swinging around New York City is very satisfying, and gives a very accurate representation of Spider-Man. It has a Hero/Menace system similar to Infamous, and it's done well. There's a lot that TASM 2 did right, but then there's the things that this game did wrong. The combat is boring, the side quests are stupid, and the plot is stupid and predictable. It's fun to swing around in this game, but everything else is just unenjoyable and dumb. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 gets a 6/10.

This game is a mess! i felt like the director of the game just don't want to make the game so people come to him "is that dialogue fine?" and he like "Yea yea, just put it in....." i can't enjoy this game, even if i want to.

I am a die hard Spider-Man fan but this game was a major disappointment. The story was so dull and the dialogue was really cheesy. The graphics **** and I really didn't enjoy this game. The gameplay is similar to the Batman Arkham series but it just doesn't feel as fluid and fun. The only thing they did right was the web slinging mechanics. I love how the left trigger makes you swing left and the right trigger makes you swing to the right but sadly that's not enough to make this a good game. I hope they make a good Spider-Man game soon because the last one I enjoyed was Spider-man 2 and that was from 2004.

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.

What's with all the criticism?! This game is great!! It feels great just aimlessly swinging around, stopping crimes and stuff. That's not to say it's perfect though. There are problems that could be giver (like the camera)

I don't get how this game is getting a poor review from so many people. in my opinion this is the best spiderman game to date, the new swinging action and fighting style really shines here, plus the game is really well polished. the graphics are not so next gen but they still look great none the less. if you're a spidey fan give this game a go.

Should you get this? Only if you want to return it later. The story is crappy, the free roam is the best EVER, but that is ruined by the Menace/hero system in which you HAVE to complete mini missions unless you wanna get shot out of the sky by robots.

Ever since Spider-Man 2’s release in 2004, spidey fans have been hoping for a second game that can capture the magic that game left behind, and after seeing the swinging mechanic in the demos of the Amazing Spider-Man 2, fans left with hope. Hope that maybe this game might do what the original did 10 years ago. Unfortunately, all the fans got was another cheap cash in made by Beenox and Activison to cap on the tie-in movie’s release. The one thing to get down in a Spider-Man game is the gameplay that makes Spider-Man the superhero he is. His super strength, his wall crawling, and more importantly, his web swinging. The web swinging in this game, although not amazing, is honestly pretty fun. The game utilizes both of the triggers to make Spidey swing, tying the left and right hand to the respective triggers. Press the left trigger to swing, the web will shoot left, and Spider-Man will naturally start to turn left. It’s the same on the opposite swing. This unique mechanic works, it’s fun, and it looks cool, but it doesn't have the natural flow you’d want it to. Waiting for Spider-Man to finish an animation for him to shoot out a web well after you made him got annoying, and it ultimately gives you less control. Combine this with the awkward wall crawling and wall running that’s hard to control, and the essence of Spider-Man still remains to be captured. Next is the combat, which was actually one of the previous highlights of the first Amazing Spider-Man game. Wherein that game the combat was done well and really fun, the combat has actually taken a small hit in combat. Combat works like the Batman Arkham games, chaining attacks to increase your combo score, and using your spider-sense to counter attacks. Unlike the first game, where Spider-Man’s combat felt fast and responsive, this game’s combat feels slower and choppier. There were times where I would press the dodge button multiple times and Spider-Man just wouldn’t respond. Plus, the annoying auto lock fails to lock onto the enemies you want it to, and the combat can get on your nerves. Then there’s the boss fights, which aren't terrible by any means, but they feel so generic. For enemies like Shocker and Carnage, you’d think there’d be more variation in fighting them, but in all honesty, the boss fights don’t feel very different from fighting the generic thug on the streets. The biggest improvement from the last game is the stealth gameplay, which resulted you feeling over powered and made stealth too easy. Now, the stealth’s new restrictions actually improve it. All enemies have an area of vulnerability that you can enter for an instant takedown, which can be achieved from nearly any position. Plus, the spider sense allowing you to see through walls is a nice mechanic. Stealth is easily one of the best parts of this game. Lastly, there’s the open world of New York which easily contains the biggest problem in this game. Spider-Man’s duty as a hero is to, of course, save the city, which the game represents through side missions. However, this duty is something the game tries to force on you with the hero/menace mechanic. This mechanic sums up to how many side missions you do. Do more of them, and your hero level goes up. Ignore too many, and you could cross the line and become a menace to society, at which point the task force in the city will try to take you down. This mechanic is annoying because it forces side content - which is supposed to be optional - to be completed, or you’re punished for it. This is made worse by going farther in the game, which only creates more, and they become a grind to get through, with no worthwhile reward for completing them Now, moving away from the gameplay, the game fails to impress in any real way. The graphics are terrible, and are outdated, even on the last generation of consoles. The story is sub par, not following the movie in any real way, or even bothering to use any of the original voice actors from the film. Andrew Garfield is missing, and this Peter Parker is just a terrible looking imitation. The story does try to throw a lot of interesting characters into the mix, but they really feel shoe-horned in. Carnage, Shocker, Black Cat, and even the Green Goblin manage to suffer from this. The only really interesting character thrown in is Kraven, which is well voice acted by Steve Blume. Ultimately, Amazing Spider-Man 2 can be summed up like this. For every good thing the game does right, there's an equally bad deterrent or flaw holding it back. Either that, or the mechanics fail to introduce something compelling while at the same time not being horrible. Because of this, the game meets somewhere in the middle between good and bad. It's not the worst movie tie in game, and hardcore Spidey fans might want to try it, since it does have it's good points, but in the end, it's a really painfully average game.

Beenox has had a bit of practice with Spidey. The Amazing Spider-man 2 is the fourth game that they have taken major development duties on and it represents a natural evolution of their established formula. **** Dimensions and Edge of Time were enjoyable linear games that respected the material, but their first tie-in (The Amazing Spider-man) took the hero back into the open world and gifted him with new web swinging and combat systems. Now, the sequel comes, but is it any good? Well, pretty much. The story is an alternate telling of events of the second movie, which is smart as it helps to avoid spoilers. The epilogue narrative spoiled the plot of the first movie in the original game and that was one of its few faults. This time, Spidey is going after his uncle's killer, only to find out that a new murderer called the Carnage Killer is bringing a special brand of justice to criminals. Not only is this causing trouble, but the Russian and American gangs are battling it out, with the Kingpin overseeing the operations and attempting to wipeout Spidey by ordering a bunch of criminals onto the hero. Plus, Electro is rising and the Green Goblin is beginning to step up. The plot is as bloated as that of the film counterpart, yet it is surprisingly easy to follow and makes up for its shortcomings with a nice amount of Easter eggs and references. Being the massive Spidey fan I am (did you really think I would give this game a 9 if I wasn't), I appreciated these little touches. The campaign isn't very long (around 7 hours) and the bosses aren't challenging, but I preferred this narrative to the previous game's- even if it feels like Electro and Gobby have been thrown in just for tie-in purposes. The gameplay is smooth and responsive, even if it does feel a little easy. Web swinging is amazing and is the best evolution of the system I've ever seen. Having played every Spider-man game from 2000 onwards, this feels like a natural extension of a system that was already great fun. The left and right trigger idea is nice and well done, even if some of the logic is a little out there at times (how can Spidey swing through Central Park?). The web rush system is also back and it's as fun as ever, with new upgrades and better functionality. Wall crawling is rarely used when you have such an amazing amount of aerial tools, but it works alright and running up the sides of buildings is something I've always loved in a Spidey game- it reminds me of the good old days. There is no doubt that this is one of the most effective traversal systems in gaming, but what about combat? It is very similar to that of the previous game, with Arkham-esque styles of attacking, countering and stunning (which is basically shooting bad guys with your webs). The animation is excellent and most of the time it is very responsive, even if you can build up combos a little too easily and take down foes quickly. I like the use of different webs, such as the seismic and ionic styles which can knock down foes and melt armour respectively. The upgrade system isn't very complicated, but it works and I was keen to earn all of them. The ability to pick up objects is a particularly useful tool... The stealth of the game is better than that of the last one, even if its logic baffles me. Sneaking up on foes is tense and it feels good to smash the enemies, but there is no real penalty, with Web Rush making it easy to escape and the foes never really learning their mistakes. They have horrible vision ranges as well and once I performed two takedowns in a row- even though I was in front of the second enemy! The open world isn't highly detailed and the civilians aren't interesting, but this isn't GTA V. The city does offer a plethora of activities and collectibles though and I love how your various suits have different upgrades and levels. I enjoyed the hideouts and while there are less comic pages, I still enjoy collecting them and the audio logs offer some valuable back story. The comics you unlock are great and can be easily accessed and read. There are also some difficult combat challenges and plenty of photo ops, meaning that the game will take over 12 hours to fully complete. I platinumed it at around 19 hours, so completionists don't need to put in too much time. One of the game's biggest talking points is its Hero or Menace system. To be frank, it is absolutely horrible and the reason this game doesn't deserve perfect marks- even from a staunch Spider-fan. While your level of reputation does give you bonuses and keeps the bad guys off your tail, the random crimes have too little a time limit and they get highly repetitive after a while. The system also doesn't impact the story or side missions and the lack o a clear goal makes it a worthless feature. I could see where Beenox was going with it, but they didn't have enough time to develop a good system. TASM 2 is a good game and deserves more than a 5. Beenox just needs more time for their games.

I love Spiderman games- just not this one. This game is awful. The graphics look like Gamecube (although I was playing on my PS4). I really hate when developers push out these licensed games without putting any effort into thier development. Don't buy this game. I got it on Gamefly and sent it back the same day.

This game is absolutely abysmal. Beenox pathetically tries to emulate Rocksteady's success (no wonder why Beenox is following Rocksteady on Twitter) and fails meanly. Let's start with the main show of the game: Spider-Man..................................... Spider-Man looks like he's glazed or something. For f*ck sake, in the cutscenes he is restless, doesn't stop moving around. Looks like a mentally disturbed **** who delivers one-liners to Kraven, Oh yeah Kraven, we'll get to that LATER! Now, the graphics... the graphics. I went to Youtube and some **** told me the graphics were amazingly well done, and I was like... WTF??? I never see such underdeveloped graphics in my whole f*cking life. This time is not Activision's fault, this time Beenox got too much drunk if they thought the game had nice graphics. If you think the graphics look good, killing yourself would probably be the best idea for you. Now, the story. This game insults the movie's story by the way. It's like you pick the script from the movie and make it more gay and more **** in the most possible way. Donald Menken is actually Chameleon? What the f*ck? And where the hell is Gwen Stacy? And why they they included Aunt May? Do they realize that her only purpose in the whole game is to seat in her couch and look at the television like a mindless possessed? And when she starts interacting with her nephew, she says "We must forget the past and look at future; We will be happy again, Peter. I promise you!; Wherever he is (Uncle Ben), he's very proud of you. And so am I;" all that nonsensical babbling because of Ben's death. Jesus, he died a year ago and they're still talking about that! LOL! (I really feel bad for this character) The gameplay. The combat system in the first game was pretty cool! However, Beenox picks that and makes it more stupid and boring. It looks like Spider-Man is having anal sex with the criminals but more unexciting. The web-slingling is "okay", I guess. Nothing special. The missions are repetitive, short and unenthusiastic just like the boss fights. The dialogue: **** Finally, Kraven is a meaningless, idiotic and **** villain that should never been in the game in the first place. His quotes are godawful and his design is amazingly stupid and unoriginal. His purposes in the f*cking game is like this: 1. Teaches Spider-Man for no f*cking reason 2. Attacks him for no f*cking reason but gets his ass beated without even blinking. That's it?????????? What the...? In conclusion, the end result is an expressionless, effortlessly, mindless, ****, poorly made game that insults Spider-Man fans and gamers alike. Beenox should get fired and Activision should acquire some better studios like Rocksteady or **** Punch. Nuff said!! P.S: The story revolves around Peter tracking down Uncle Ben's killer but after the first 30 minutes of the game, Carradine is killed and the whole plot element is automatically destroyed! Seriously? Go f*ck yourself, Beenox!

Im a big fan of Spider-man but my god this game just wasn't good. Shotty game mechanics, web slinging made me dizzy and gave me a headache, glitches galore too. The graphics weren't bad, city was huge and stuff, but the game was kinda boring and uneventful. Buyers beware

After playing spiderman 2 i decided it would be of better use of my time to cut the grass with a pair of safety scissors, then paint my lawn white. its like the people who made the game baked a delicious pie and then they through it in the trash where it belongs. i was being a bit harsh but the game overall was not a well put together game. theres not much to be said. it's as if the game makers just stopped working and picked their noses all day.
