GT:
The original Spider-Man title was a solid game. Spider-Man 2 handed in solid gameplay improvements and turned an 93% for its review. Spider-Man 3 matched the efforts of its predecessor but didn’t innovate much, netting it a still-respectable 88%, but then something happened. I’m not sure if it was the painful direction that the movies took, or if there was pressure to crank these games out every 12 months, but things went south quickly. Spider-Man: Friend or Foe was absolutely in the foe category with a 58%, Spider-Man: Web of Shadows should have stayed in the shadows to hide that barely passing 61%, and Spider-Man: Edge of Time was on the edge of failing with a 66%. You can imagine it was with some trepidation that I tossed The Amazing Spider-Man into the tray of my Xbox 360. From the opening moments of the game, I could tell that I was in for something different.
88/100
