I just got the new Amazing Spider-man game today from GAME. Originally I was getting it from Amazon as it was cheaper but then GAME release a £5 off token for the Web Threads Suit Pack making it the same price as Amazon. However when I tried the code this morning it wouldn't work -_-
I contacted GAME about this and they replied with that Activision are trying to fix this problem and it should work later today so I will have to see about that later.
As for the actual game itself well... so far its OK but it does have noticeable problems. First off they have changed the web-slinging from the first which isn't a bad thing as in first game you could swing but the web always came from thin air and now in this one it attaches to buildings. So yeah its more like Spider-man in that department but every time you're not quite close enough there is a clicking noise until you get closer and it gets a little annoying after a short while and occasionally Spider-man himself will make some comment to say he cant swing. The new Hero or Menace system I haven't quite got how it works yet but I will say it fills up face from what I can tell as currently I already fill the Hero side up fast. Its not like it was even difficult to fill up either just stop some petty crimes and it will fill up....however then it can decrease almost as quickly. This is because on your mini map you can see areas that have petty crimes and if you don't go to one on time it will disappear and you hero meter will decrease a little. I didn't even know that would happen until it happened twice and its kind of unfair too because the first time it happened I was just taking a second to look at something and the mini map had one of the petty crimes icons shine red. So I went to go to the location only for it to disappear once I got near and the meter went down. The second time was worse as it happened again right after I stopped a different petty crime. So basically its not possible to stop every petty crime so its kind of whats the point if your going to punish me for not stopping a petty crime even though I was in the middle of stopping a petty crime -_-
Oh and one annoying thing about stopping petty crimes as every time you do you get a bugle news alert basically telling you how Amazing (or something else) you are stopping the crime in question. Now its funny the first two or so times but after the 5th or more times it gets old -_-
Currently....I'll say its an OK game but if you want to wait for it to come down in price then I wont blame you. I'll let you guys know what the rest of the game is like.
