Spidey's enemies come in all shapes from bots that can be battered by hand, to mutant hybrids and larger mechs that must be disabled 'boss-style' through targeting hotspots. There are optional distractions to the main action, including picking up collectable items and taking photographs, but your main concern remains saving the city from genetic freaks and Oscorp's ham-fisted attempts to contain them. In play, it returns to the open-city style last seen in Spider-Man 2, allowing you virtually free reign to web-sling your way through New York, picking out objectives on your trusty new smartphone Satnav. The Amazing Spider-Man kicks off months after Curt Connors – aka the Lizard – is safely behind bars, told through a semi-interactive intro that sends Gwen and Spidey back to Oscorp minutes before all hell breaks loose. However, imitation has never been a problem for other genres and when the results are as eye catching as this, developer Beenox at least deserves the chance to convince us that this is more than some tribute act.Īnd it largely does.

S ome will look on Spidey's latest outing and see a thinly veiled clone of Batman: Arkham City, and in many ways they are right.
