Beenox Studios has a tough job—tasked with making superhero games featuring Marvel Comics’ Spider-Man, they are the shepherds to a franchise that has changed hands multiple times and has had titles which have run the gamut from mediocre to average. Moreover, each game in the franchise has toyed with new ideas and different design philosophies with respect to everyone’s favorite wall-crawler. Beenox’s latest release, The Amazing Spider-Man, also suffers under the added burden of being a tie-in product to the new film reboot from Sony Pictures. All of these issues work in tandem to create an atmosphere where a game like this would be prone to failure. However, Beenox’s new title does take the franchise in some very interesting new directions and does indeed allow you to do whatever a spider can. Even if your great powers come with no great responsibilities to challenge them.
