Unfortunately, this leads to one of the game’s other issues: some of the environments are kind of boring. Battling a skyscraper size robot is a lot more fun than fighting a human-size rat like Vermin. The funny thing is, these seemingly generic robots totally overshadow the fights with the actual Spider-Man rogues. If you have a big screen TV and HD, these boss fights aren’t just big, they’re MASSIVE. The city itself is home to one of the game’s other highlights: the boss battles against Smyth’s robots. While there are some tasks to complete, it would be nice to have some more to do in such a big city. The city does seem a little barren for New York, though. The city is large, and web-slinging is a lot of fun, and that’s much more important to me. The web physics don’t require Spider-Man to actually attach his webbing to a building to swing around, which has drawn some ire from critics, but I’ve always found this to be kind of a silly complaint. The Amazing Spider-Man features an open world, similar to Spider-Man 2 on GameCube and it’s probably one of the game’s bigger highlights. Since Spidey is a cross-species himself, you can imagine where this goes. The new head of Oscorp’s science division, Alistair Smyth, has sent his cross-species detecting robots on the hunt. Unfortunately, he isn’t the only one pursuing them. However, a breakout at Oscorp forces Spider-Man to pursue a group of new cross-species throughout the city, including the likes of the Rhino, Iguana and Vermin.

Curt Connors has been cured of the Lizard, and is now sitting in jail. The Amazing Spider-Man game picks up shortly after last summer’s film and progressively becomes bigger in scope than the movie itself. So, how does the Wii U “ultimate edition” stack up in comparison? Pretty close, but with a couple nice improvements. What I found was a flawed, but fun Spider-Man game. So, naturally, I scooped up The Amazing Spider-Man last year when it came out on PS3. I’ve always been a really big Spider-Man fan.
