The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Message Board  

Just wondering if the game is worth getting or does it have problems like the first game. Any feedback is appreciated

10 hours+ and no crash, i understand your concern.

This game sucks... I wanted it to be good... but its literally that bad.... worse spiderman game i ever played on pc

How many spider games do you play on PC and more imporntant, do you play the first Amazing S.M.???

i agree...the first Amazing...is the worst,this ...is...Amazing compared to the first!
is a little bit ripetitive, but hey...it's spidey!!!!

It's worth it if u're the fan of Spider-man.
a lot of problems appeared in the first game has been fixed in this one. Literally, the gameplay is not bad. Sidequests are more varieties.

There few things which I really don't like:
- the repetitive of news cut-scenes after completing each side activities. Irritating.
- combat is not really bad, but it's sometimes confusing. Especially, when u counter 2 thugs, the spider-sense signal is the same as the one when u counter 1 thug. And it is not challenging either. U could smash the attack button, sometimes countering, and u still win the fight.
- leveling up each suits is more like a chores. Upgrade system is bland and lackluster. And u collect tech points ways more than an amount u use for upgrades. I mean, it's unbalanced.

I think, this 2nd game is more focused on stealth. U probably like the stealth section, u can crawl or hang on wall and suppress thugs silently like the 1st game. However, same as close-combat gameplay, it's not challenging and u cannot execute simultaneously 2 stealth takedown in this game (wth..). And the AI is not really good, either. A lot of AI bugs.

Swinging around the city probably is the best factor in this game. Anything else is just bland and boring. The story is poor written. Every villains are just there so u can beat them up.

Wait for the price drop to $20 or less, then buy the game.

TY everyone for the opinions, they are very much appreciated.
I sometimes like to get a good poll going to help me decide if a game is worth the price. I'm still on the fence on this one.
A big TY to HanX3 for a very detailed description

I do like the game, but it could be better. For instance i do not like the hero/menace system. it penalizes you for not stopping a crime( that is like arresting a cop for not stopping a crime). So if a criminal commits a crime it is somehow spider-man's fault?
I think this would have been a good idea, but they need it to be based solely on his actions not his failure to stop crime or his inaction.

The story line could use more details. i noticed some plot holes like a villain seems to appear out of nowhere with little back story.

so i would give this game a 7/10
