The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (Xbox One)

Product Information

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is a third person action-adventure video game, set in an open world based on Manhattan. 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. For starters I want to highly recommend that you switch suits once the one you're wearing is maxed out.

Play as Peter Parker: Play as Spider-Man's citizenalter-ego persona as you investigate the motivations ofmultifaceted villains. 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. The Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions were reviewed as "inferior" to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions, primarily due to the fact that the older console versions suffered from poor lighting, frame rate drops, and poorly detailed textures. It's a different story on Xbox One, where we see the implementation of an adaptive v-sync - the game caps frame-rate at 30fps just like the PS4 version, but unlike the Sony platform, frame render time often slips over budget.In fact, there have been other open-world games starring Spider-Man that walk a remarkably similar path. I did this before I completely upgraded the Web-Strike, so it's not certain if that has any affect or not.

The combat is similar to the predecessor, featuring a freeflow design and counterattacks, and allows Spider-Man to incapacitate enemies for a few seconds by various means, such as throwing interactable objects at them, and then subdue them for good by webbing them. Tearing is a distraction, but on balance, probably one of the less important issues in what is a deeply mediocre release overall.net is owned by Gamer Network Limited, a ReedPop company and subsidiary of Reed Exhibitions Limited.

After the drama surrounding the release, the reality is that neither version of the game is particularly impressive, though of the two the PS4 release is our pick. Detail in the cityscape is passable but lacking at close range, while - Spider-Man's model apart - overall geometry levels are often bafflingly low.
