Thanks to rough controls, bland visuals, and a myriad of other problems, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is a real letdown.
Let's celebrate Stan Lee the best way gamers know how, by looking at his most memorable virtual appearances. Excelsior!
OnlySP spoke to Beenox co-studio head and creative director Thomas Wilson about the company’s work on Spider-Man games. Between 2001 and 2007, Beenox did not develop a single original game. Instead, the studio worked as a porting house. Beenox’s experience with movie tie-ins led to the studio’s original work on The Bee Movie in 2007 and Monsters vs. Aliens in 2009, and its experience porting Spider-Man games resulted in the studio being handed the reigns to develop original Spider-Man titles in 2010.
Nice read. Wilson's candor is refreshing. He flat out says Activision did not give Beenox the budget, resources, or the time they needed. Really is too bad Activision squandered their opportunities with the Spider-man franchise. They could have made some really great games. Activision being Activision.
Always felt bad for this team. They did a lot of things right, but Activision screwed them over at every turn.
TechRaptor's Dan Hodges writes, "With Insomniac's highly promising Spider-Man right around the corner, let's revisit some of the web-slinger's worst video game outings."
Don’t forget about Spider Man 2 The PC Version which is worse than the console version. Web of Shadow PS2 version is also the worse than PS3/X360.
Best Spider Man game to date has to be Spider Man 2.
Worst Spider Man game to date I will have to go with The Amazing Spider Man 2.
The absolute WORST Spider Man game is, by far, the PSVR installment. I'd have more fun playing with dog shit than that game.
Sounds like spideys lost his powers again 2/10 seems a bit harsh though.
2/10 is a joke. This game is not a 2. I finished it and its rough in some areas but its not anywhere near a 2.
Read the review twice and I'm convinced this guy played the game on easy and didn't bother to learn the game, or simply didn't play it for more than 20 minutes. He is flat out wrong on some of the things he says. Such as the stealth areas and that the guards always miss.
This is no 2...true it's mediocre as most movie tie-ins, but I played this Tuesday for 1hr or more and had fun!
I would have it at 7/10....but I'm not a reviewer ;/
yeah basically another "piece of shit"' game to hit the video game market. The developers/studio should basically look for a new line of work.
