I want you to imagine you’re back in 2004, as a young Spider-Man fan. You were just blessed with Spider-Man 2, which was a banger, and the next year you’d get to play Ultimate Spider-Man, which was also good. Now imagine your disappointment when Spider-Man 3 rolls around and you get this. Needless to say, the Spider-Man reputation took a hit. BUT, it was redeemed. Spider-Man Web of Shadows released the next year and while it had some issues with level design, it still provided a great open world Spider-Man game with swinging that many still consider the best. Then we got the more linear but no less great Shattered DImensions, and then Edge of Time. While many appreciate the games now, at the time the scores were not friendly. Then, with the announcement of the new cinematic reboot titled The Amazing Spider-Man, we also received a movie tie in game. Given the history, colour me sceptical.

Things have changed since the last few Spider-Man games. Most notably, things have changed with Batman. Since the release of Web of Shadows, the last open world Spider-Man game we received, the Arkham Series was already off the ground and we had both Asylum and City to solidify the dark knight's seat on the throne atop the superhero genre. Spider-Man needed change, and the developers were acutely aware of the last few games disappointing numbers. This game had aims of taking a more realistic approach like the movie, but as you’ll see, that vision is left unfulfilled. What we ended up with was a game that at the time, I loved. One with genuinely incredible animations, fun enough gameplay, and traversal that on one hand is the most shallow and accessible, but on the other, is so unique with an arguably unintended amount of depth, that I can help but love it. It’s a game that holds little back and truly allows the player to experience more consistent large stakes battles.

The Amazing Spider-Man is a 2012 American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character Spider-Man and sharing the title of the character's longest-running comic book series of the same title. It is the fourth theatrical Spider-Man film produced by Columbia Pictures and Marvel Entertainment, a reboot of the series following Sam Raimi's 2002–2007 Spider-Man trilogy, and the first of the two The Amazing Spider-Man films. The film was directed by Marc Webb and written by James Vanderbilt, Alvin Sargent and Steve Kloves from a story by Vanderbilt, and stars Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker / Spider-Man alongside Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans, Denis Leary, Campbell Scott, Irrfan Khan, Martin Sheen, and Sally Field. In the film, after Parker is bitten by a genetically altered spider, he gains newfound, spider-like powers and ventures out to save the city from the machinations of the Lizard.

The Amazing Spider-Man is an open world video game based on the Marvel Comics character Spider-Man and the 2012 film of the same name. It was developed by Beenox and published by Activision. It was released on June 26 in North America and on June 29, 2012 in Europe for the Nintendo DS, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, Android, iOS, and Microsoft Windows. A version for the Wii U was released in March 2013 in North America and Europe known as The Amazing Spider-Man: Ultimate Edition in both regions. A PlayStation Vita version was released in November 2013. A sequel, The Amazing Spider-Man 2, was released in April 2014, itself based on the film.

The (not so) Amazing Spider-Man Game. The Amazing Spider-Man is the latest open world follow up to Spider-Man Web of Shadows. This video will not be The Amazing Spider-Man Review of the film but a The Amazing Spider-Man Game Review. This Spider-Man Game Review or The Amazing Spider-Man Critique or The Amazing Spider-Man Analysis is another part of the That Boy Aqua Spider-Man retrospective. That Boy Aqua will cover the infamous The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Game and answer why many felt that The Amazing Spider-Man Bad or why they were some of the Worst Spider-Man Game. The Amazing Spider-Man Years Later is still fun, but the Amazing Spider-Man Game falls below other Spider-Man games.
