"For those of you who had the chance to go see 'The Amazing Spider-Man' in theaters, this game takes place after the events that happened in the movie. What that means for the majority of you is that if you do not watch the movie, you will be lost for a little while in the game. You won't understand the connection between Spidey and many of the people that he will interact with. Compound that with not filling you in about what happened in the movie, it is quite possible that there will be spoilers in the game. It might throw you off a bit in the beginning but that speed bump only slows down the pacing during the beginning of the game. For the majority of your time there you will be treated with a surprising treat of a movie tie-in not commonly seen with other games based on movies."
