Slinging too often from the same hand will pull you closer to that side of the street and throw off any momentum you may have built up. Instead, players will need to be more conscious of their surroundings and consistently position Spider-Man between buildings and closer to street level.Īdditionally, alternating between the DualShock 4's L2 and R2 replicates the way in which Spider-Man shoots webs from his respective hands, attaching to the buildings on either side of him. No longer is Spider-Man able to attach his web to non-existent buildings (or those that are several feet beneath him). The web slinging has also been updated to become a more realistic representation of what it would be like to sore across the city skyline. Making a repeat appearance from 'The Amazing Spider-Man' is the return of Web Rush - a slingshot style method for Spider-Man to quickly traverse from one perch to the next. The developers at Beenox kept what worked from previous iterations and added a few new mechanics that (attempt to) enhance the experience.
Thankfully, 'The Amazing Spider-Man2' somewhat succeeds. However, it's the freedom of swinging through the streets, looking for crimes in every back alley that ultimately determines whether the game is enjoyable or another failed attempt.

I generally have fairly low expectations of any movie tie-in video game providing a thought-provoking story, and 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2' is no different. Other, more stable characters from the franchise – Harry Osborn, Kingpin (Wilson Fisk), Kraven the Hunter – make periodic appearances, but their involvement seem more convenient to allow for repetitious, arena-like boss battles than furthering the story in any meaningful way. From there, the story spirals somewhat out of control as the web slinger attempts to unravel the mystery behind warring gang factions and a mysterious vigilante known as the Carnage Killer. 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2' begins with a brief flashback of when Peter Parker became a crime-fighting arachnid after witnessing the death of his father figure and uncle.

Although a busy schedule has prohibited me from enjoying the newest theatrical release, if the last game in the series is any indication, it comes as no surprise that this playable version of 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2' is a loose representation of its big-screen counterpart. While it seems like just yesterday I was reviewing 'The Amazing Spider-Man' for the PlayStation Vita, my recent play through provides a unique opportunity to better evaluate what, if any, changes have gone into Beenox's latest development effort.
