The Verge: "Beenox's The Amazing Spider-Man nails the feel of being superhuman, but stumbles in finding a challenge fit for a superhero." 7.5/10

One of the better reviews, but still too low, IMO. I love the game. It's around inFamous level enjoyment for me, and the best superhero game this side of a Batman game.

Until they bring back the web swinging from Spider-Man 2 I don't think I'll be playing any of these games. It's a core mechanic, which makes it mind boggling to discard something that nearly everyone agrees was absolutely perfect.

Haha, every article i've read that involves Amazing Spiderman has at least 1 comment talking about the web slinging from Spiderman 2.

@ab5olut10n, oh i know, i'm just saying that alot of people just love the web slinging of Spiderman 2.

It really was perfect, just the right amount of control to where you COULD screw up or you could tear through the city like a coked up bat out of hell.

The slinging in this one is amazingly fun.

Played the game yesterday. Swinging mechanic as fun, if not better, than Spider-Man 2.

This settles it. I will be all over this after a price drop or two.

Glad to see this game getting good reviews, overall.
