amazon The Amazing Spider-Man 2 reviews
Until now, the games “follow” the series about superhero Spider-Man has never been appreciated by critics.
If not to mention the versions that do not “integrate” anything to the series such as Ultimate Spider-man or Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, etc. The game series about Spider-Man always has to receive an “unfriendly” look from players.
However, life always has the most surprises and surprises that Beenox suddenly “cool” brought the game The Amazing Spider-Man to the “good” rank in 2012.
With a compelling storyline that does not follow the movie, improves gameplay as well as the combat system, The Amazing Spider-Man naturally escapes the label of “movie game” in a spectacular way.
Beenox continued to re-export with The Amazing Spider-Man 2 version while the movie of the same name is “making a storm” in theaters around the world.
Will Beenox once again prove that its game-making talent isn’t so “flabby” – up and down? Let’s take a tour with the author to see if there is anything new about New York City this time!
New York – City of skyscrapers
Spider-Man without flying, climbing, or jumping is not Spider-Man. In The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Beenox has hit the player’s mentality when recreating the largest and most authentic New York city possible so that you can enjoy traveling, traveling everywhere.
Just press Shift plus left (or right) mouse and you can rush between skyscrapers, plunge from above and when close to the ground, release the spider silk… swing again. It can be said that the feeling of flying like Spider-Man has been conveyed to players by Beenox in a very “good” way.
Continue learning the Web-Rush feature that was available from the previous version, while flying in the air, just one button will help you slow down time and send players to fly to the exact position you were aiming for there. This feature has done a good job from part one and to The Amazing Spider-Man 2, it is even more refined when there is no “lost” screen as before.
The map “parcel” from Spider’s smartphone displayed in the bottom right corner of the screen is still very intuitive, marking most of the important places for players to get to accurately.
If you asked me about the superhero series with the best combat system ever played, I wouldn’t hesitate to answer: Batman Arkham. Indeed, the game’s counter-attack-style combat system is too successful and there is no reason for Beenox to “learn”.
Of course, study, not “copy” because our Spider-man has a very different style of fighting. Lightning-fast moves shoot to steal enemy weapons, jumps to the opponent’s neck or throws the opponent, etc.
Unlike Batman, Spider-Man uses Spider-Sense skill to dodge attacks and “by the way” dodges enemy bullets fired with beautiful falls that even Batman must be… jealous!
The stealth action element continued to be promoted when Spider-Man crept behind the opponent, controlled and tied with silk. These actions are skillfully used by Beenox to slow down so that players can comfortably “shake their thighs” to enjoy their achievements.
After the “hands-on” fighting phase, players will accumulate points to upgrade their skills to help Spider-Man become stronger in combat as well as more agile in flight phases. The epic boss battles continue to appear in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 with the presence of all sorts of evil villains in the movie such as Electro, Green Goblin, even taken from the story such as Shocker, Kingpin or the most formidable is the Carnage, etc
Bosses are somewhat absent, but boss fights in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 are sure to amuse you because these stages are built quite challenging and make players satisfied!
If you only stop at the strengths mentioned above, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is worth playing, but unfortunately, the deeper the game, the more flaws, and flaws that are very blamed.
The first is the plot: although it is known that the producer is not allowed to “squash” the content of the film, so it does not include the smart and sharp Gwen Stacy, but the storyline with a “solitary” Peter Parker tracking down Uncle Ben’s killer and discovering another crime gang in New York is too boring, lacking the necessary highlights.
The villains kept appearing and being defeated by Spider-Man in the simplest possible way. The role-playing Peter Parker is again made by the developer … You drive Peter home, change clothes, say a few words to Aunt May, then go around the city to take some pictures, and so on. The side quests to “unlock” the images, comics at the author’s store Stan Lee suddenly seem attractive such as: saving people, chasing, etc. but gradually became more and more repetitive and boring.
Next, the game brings a long dialogue “challenges” the player’s patience with choices that do not affect the plot at all. Fighting is so but the enemy (except bosses) proved quite “dull”. Seems to understand those evil people can not fight superheroes, so most of them seem… scared and react quite slowly, leaving Spider to “flap”! Sometimes they are also “handicapped” in both eyes and hearing when standing “looking far away” by default while their teammates have just been knocked down … a few meters away relatively beautiful with important New York City landmarks such as Central Park or Empire building with light effects, detailed shadows, streets are always crowded with lines of people and traffic was everywhere.
The greatest strength of the game is probably the Spider-Man suits that are beautifully designed and movie-like, but the main character is not. If Harry Osborn or Max Dillon were designed based on the actor in the movie, then Peter Parker was “cast” in a comic book model instead of the actor Andrew Garfield, making him look old and not very handsome.
The sound of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is not highly appreciated by the writer because in addition to the explosions and fighting is somewhat outstanding, the sound comes from the voice team is not from the actors in the movie, so only stop at “acceptable”.
