It feels like the city needs a big 'gone fishin'' sign. All too often, though, these encounters boil down to 'shoot web, dodge incoming attack, run over to boss and punch a bit.' Green Goblin's is the only bright spot, seeing you hitch a ride on his glider and grind his face along several apartment blocks. Electro, Kingpin, Shocker, Kraven and Black Cat all offer tediously overlong boss fights. Of course, a bevy of Marvel villains cameo. It feels like a problem with no solution. Again, though, what can Beenox do? Spidey is way too overpowered for a fair fight with humans, so tacky sci-fi elements are roped in. There are sleek tanks and bubble shields and lasers and Symbiote-infected civilians who for all intents and purposes are basically zombies. Petty Russian mobsters with ineffective AK47s soon make way for a tacky-looking task force with futuristic drones. Indeed, the opening minute spins the glamour convincingly.Īlmost immediately, as Spider-Man games tend to do, the story accelerates. It's a nicely grounded premise that teases an end to the silliness we've seen in the past from giant red-eyed spider bots and SWAT goons on hoverbikes. Timed to coincide with the film but set mostly apart from the antics of Messrs Electro, Rhino and Green Goblin, the game sees Peter track his uncle's killer. They recycle moves, missions and collectibles and slap them in their bland, cereal box New York. The Amazing Spider-Man tried its room-clearing, counter-based combat approach and failed. You can't copy Rocksteady's Arkham template because its deliberate pace and weighty character movement is purposefully designed for Batman. Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions tried it and misfired. You can't take him out of New York because that's like making Captain America German. Just how do you make a fresh Spider-Man game? It requires better ideas than this, and a much bigger investment of time and money. Beenox, the developers of his latest game, do. I can sprint up skyscrapers, lift cars above my head, I have a nice girlfriend, look great in spandex, live in in an affluent part of New York city with my loving aunt, study at a prestigious university and take pictures for a nationally syndicated newspaper.” Spider-Man doesn't get to complain about his problems.
