It doesn’t take long to pull off some impressive combos, which the game encourages with a meter and increased rewards for long chains. You’ve got web and melee buttons, plus a reversal button that requires proper timing to use properly. When criminals try getting down and dirty, combat is like a simplified version of what Batman goes through in the Arkham console games. You’ll find yourself stopping robberies, taking injured police officers to the hospital by webline and simply signing the occasional autograph for starstruck citizens. Thanks to a gang war that is engulfing New York, there’s no shortage of random crimes to stop, and the random missions do a good job mixing things up. Spidey’s objectives in each level are a mix of open world encounters and planned events that drive the narrative. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is unabashedly an action-adventure game, thrilling in the freedom that the web-spinner has at swinging through New York and showing off his acrobatic skills at every chance. One thing that sets this game apart from its Gameloft brethren is that there’s no genre confusion. Or amazing, if we want to keep the right adjectives with their respective franchises. With slightly tighter controls, it could even be fantastic. So I went into The Amazing Spider-Man 2 fully prepared to be let down again, only to find that it’s really good. Like a girl who can’t help dating bad boys, I’ve had my heart broken by Gameloft super hero titles before.
