Spider-Man: Edge of Time is Better Than a 61 Metacritic Score | GoozerNation

GoozerNation recently sat down to play the latest Spider-Man game and they completely disagree with the other critics, who say Edge of Time is not as good as Shattered Dimensions. Regardless, Edge of Time is a fun, challenging and beautiful game to play.

Sounds like an awesome game. I haven't played a Spidey game since Ultimate back in 2005...

Well, I might give this a spin once it gets into the bargain bin.

lol who takes the metacritic score seriously is a dumb nerd.

[waltyftm]

Well said.

[ShaunCameron]

A lot of "hardcore" gamers do. LOL

[Quagmire]

Not entirely. It does take a collective stance on the overall reception of the game. Of course that may or may not contradict personal preference, it all depends on whether you like it yourself upon having played it.

Its like saying anyone who takes the political voting serious is stupid.

[e-p-ayeaH]

political voting is far beyond than just mere opinions.

[gravemaker]

its not, its horrible game

[Rampaged Death]

From what I've seen it's really boring. They should go back to the open world.

[Ahasverus]

or linear world, with an interesting theme this time, not an office building

It deserves its 61 i'd say , hwever useless and crappy i believe Metacritic to be .
Why ? Because we have the same debate every year with every activision spiderman game , when they could just finally just release a great one .

I'm playing it now and no, it's not a 61...to me. It's relatively fun and the story is nice. My only real complaints are:

I wish there was more of a butterfly effect with the actions of the Spideys that had a more dynamic effect on the gameplay.

It is VERY similarly structured like Shattered Dimensions. Golden spiders, upgrades, etc.

Too much web ziplining. Some of the spaces are too confined for swinging, which is a shame. We are talking about Spider-Man after all.

Still, worth playing.

Judging from the gameplay videos and video reviews, I can understand why it's a bad game.

Metacritic better than a 61? no it should be lower.

Stuff like Cheesy dialogue, crap story, repetitive levels, button mashing combat, lack of freedom and not taking advantage of Spidermans web swinging abilities, lack of Villains from comics.

Arkham City is the complete opposite which makes it amazing and the best comic book video game.

Don't forget Activision is publishing it, it's a guaranteed failure.

Any more opinions on games you never played that you want to share?
