He even has Stan “the Man” Lee offering narration at the beginnings of each level! Unfortunately, what he doesn't have are decent camera angles or a robust quality assurance inspection. Spider-Man has wall-crawling, web-slinging action, super-strength, and even his spidey-senses in this arcade-style adventure beat-em-up.
Spider-Man shows a bit of promise and comes close to being up to the task. You know there's a problem when you'd rather spend your time with a comic book superhero game reading its unlockable graphic novels than stepping into the spandex of its titular character.Super-hero games are always difficult: you want to include challenge to the players, but you want the hero to still feel “super” in the hands of the player. But such treats don't make up for the thoroughly lackluster action. Stan Lee's turn as a sage comic book store proprietor offering Peter advice in place of his uncle is terrific, as are the full-length, classic Spider-Man comics that players can read in his shop. The best parts of the game are those that don't involve any fighting or web-slinging. But the brawling action - tap one button to attack and another to dodge when you see Spider-Man's spidey sense tingling - is derivative of other superhero action games (most notably Warner Bros.' recent Batman games) and dissatisfying in its simplicity. Combat is more palatable, if only because it's less frustrating. Swinging and crawling around a free-to-roam New York ought to be exciting and liberating, but awkward controls keep players from ever getting comfortable moving about. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 feels like a hurriedly cobbled together cash grab of a game.
