i really want to know who activision/marvel etc etc threatened to kill to make this game, but please, DO IT AGAIN. I'm not kidding! This game almost makes up for every other spiderman piece of trash they have ever made. (Keep in mind though i HAVEN'T played SM:FOF) You start off basically in a cutscene of spidey walking across a building and jumping off, that's it, no lengthy introduction, straight into the game, then starts is what the equilivent of a tutorial level. Seems pretty basic so far, and it is until you actually get into the fighting, HOLY shit the combat has had one hell of a major up-haul. It's smooth, fluid, and actually does what you want it too. The graphics on this game are pretty impressive considering what it actually has to render at once, the only exception being the cutscenes which look like they were ported off a PS2, and spiderman looks veeeeeeeeeeeeeery shiny. Now the combat system, this is seriously the best combat system i have seen in a long while in a sandbox game. You have your basic melees then you get into the more complicated combos once you level it a bit, but the bits that make it great is the suits/web combat. The web combat is you target a person(which mind is actually VERY easy to do in this one) and you'll shoot them with a web and fling yourself to them, all of which you can do WHILE mid air, on the ground, anywhere and if you change your mind are able to simply abort and fling yourself right over them, though if you do zip yourself you can absolutely smash them EG Web them fling yourself over, jump over them re-web them and throw them about 30 floors into the air, re-web AGAIN go over grab them and continue to punch/kick and throw them into stuff WHILE in mid air. But what makes it fucking brilliant is the suit. You have the choice at any time to switch between the red suit(which is your kind of acrobatic fast type of fighting) and your black "symbiotic" suit(which is your slower more powerful hitting type of fighting), but the really nice bit about it is even if your in the middle of a combo (say red suit hitting of a really fast fling of punches) you can switch suits MID-COMBO and continue with the other suit from the point of the combo you were at(as in from the stated in before brackets, to while the punches are goin switch the suit and bring out massive tendrils which pick people up and throw them into busses/walls etc etc, but that bit is the SECOND half of the black suits combo), it may be a bit hard to understand from what i was saying but it is very difficult to explain as it is that unique. But netherless to say is it brilliant and majority improved. Even just the basic swinging around is highly improved and looks awesome, it's simple enough to be easy to get around, but sensitive enough where you can swig though small alleyways and tight corners while not bumping into a wall. Even the boss battles are brilliant, this is the most fun i have ever had in a boss battle, they are not easy, but not the typical find a specific move, do and repeat, anything can beat them, but they are also able to counter everything, but do not, as it seems almost like a normal fight. One boss battle i even managed to do the entire fight MID-AIR, not even touching the ground. Everything in this game so far just seems, well, spiderman, from the reeeeeal cheesy lines to the fighting, which just looks as you'd see in the movies. But bottom line check out this game, it is NOT like the others. This one gets a solid 8.0 from me. *Now you can all stop ridiculing me for playing a Spider man game.

This was one game on my list of games to get once the November dust has settled. It had to be an improvement over the last one... |
