Nevertheless, you will have to tackle them on occasion, since there are a few instances where the only requirement to progress in a mission is “explore the city.” The only good ones are the Russian mob hideouts, which are always just the right length and unlock cool new costumes. You can unlock more backstory via side-missions, but they're rarely worth the effort.
It certainly doesn’t help that the script is very schizophrenic, jumping from attempted melodrama to hackneyed gags a matter of seconds. Where the movies at least make an effort to give you nuanced introductions and unique team-ups, this bland plot throws just about every single one of the seven supervillans into the fray individually and without fanfare, particularly at the end. These are consequence-free choices that just determine the order in which questions are asked. The biggest affront in this added time is the “interactive” dialogue sequences. It takes about 15 minutes to beat one, but you’ll have spent another 15 during that mission slowly walking around taking photos and searching for items as Peter Parker. The combat lead-up to a boss battle is actually pretty short – more often than not, you have to clear a single (albeit large) room of enemies before progressing to the supervillan. Missions in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 are significantly shorter than its predecessor’s, but the running time is roughly the same seven hours due to undesirable padding. This either renders them completely open to attack or indefinitely invincible, requiring a restart. When enemies aren't easily confused, they're straight-up broken you can expect multiple occurrences of thugs walking into walls or bosses that glitch into game-breaking states. That’ll often confound lesser foes, even the ones that accompany bosses. The sub-par enemy AI comes to light whenever you Web Dash just a few feet away from a thug. It lacks the options that make Batman’s combat interesting.
If you need to slow an enemy down, spam them with webbing. When you're inevitably discovered, there's usually not much to winning fights: just button-mash the attack button until your Spidey-sense tingles, then dodge or counter.
While Spidey's range for stealth attacks has been increased, that benefit is negated by the guesswork involved in discovering said range, since there is no indicator like in The Amazing Spider-Man.
#THE AMAZING SPIDER MAN 2 GAME RATING MOVIE#
Like the last movie tie-in, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 attempts to be Arkham-lite when it comes to combat, and fails due to its repetitive nature. I never wanted to stop moving in The Amazing Spider-Man 2.Īdding to that feeling is that things aren't much fun once you slow down. The first time I made a crazy dive from a skyscraper and attached a web to a building right before hitting the ground, I could finally relate to the common scene that’s played out in just about every Spider-Man movie over the last dozen years. Having the left and right triggers (or mouse buttons) mapped to swinging with their respective arms is a nice addition, too the ability to alternate adds a tad more authenticity to Spidey's wild and fast swinging, as does cutting around a corner by using the inside arm. It’s much more fun than flying high above them on webs apparently attached to clouds. Your web lines have to actually attach to a nearby building or structure, so you're encouraged to swing close to the ground where taxis and other vehicles honk as you narrowly miss them. Traversal is much-improved from 2012’s Amazing Spider-Man game.
