The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is beautifully presented and has the feel of a classic console superhero title. You can use these to throw together combos to deadly effect, and new moves are constantly added as you power-up Spider-Man's skills.

It's great fun when you pull it off, but riding webs can take some getting used to, and changing direction while you're flying is particularly fiddly.įighting in The Amazing-Spider-Man 2 is based around three action buttons. The jump button doubles-up as a web-slinging control, the mechanism by which you can fly atop the skyscrapers in the game, which is the easiest way to get around. The left of the screen acts as joystick, allowing you to move Spidey in every direction, whereas the right side is used for looking around. The controls in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 are simple to master, especially if you played the first installment of the game. Your performance is measured against others' online with game currency up for grabs. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 features an ' Arena' mode which is a fun free-for-all romp in which you must defeat as many baddies as you can before you die.

Side missions are fun at first, but they soon become repetitive and a bit dull, which is frustrating when you need to play through them to earn coins. The stories in each chapter are nicely woven around the dastardly antics of a particular villain, making the story mode a joy to play. Many of the famous bad guys from the comics and movies feature in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, including Electro, Venom, and the Green Goblin. Although it's a paid game, you may find yourself having to make payments - or at least 'grind' by repetitively playing side missions - in order to defeat certain opponents to progress through the story. There are side missions which allow you to earn credits to purchase items or unlock new skills. The action in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is essentially based around whizzing above the city on your webs, then splashing down to kick some butt or help out someone in need.
