The best parts of the game are those that don't involve any fighting or web-slinging. But the brawling action - tap one button to attack and another to dodge when you see Spider-Man's spidey sense tingling - is derivative of other superhero action games (most notably Warner Bros.' recent Batman games) and dissatisfying in its simplicity. Combat is more palatable, if only because it's less frustrating. Swinging and crawling around a free-to-roam New York ought to be exciting and liberating, but awkward controls keep players from ever getting comfortable moving about. It is also used to receive messages and access upgrades.The Amazing Spider-Man 2 feels like a hurriedly cobbled together cash grab of a game. The in-game map is accessed through a mobile phone. Peter's home acts as the main hub to replay missions, equip costumes and purchase upgrades. There are also sections where Peter Park is controlled, doing detective work on foot. Through the open-world design there are often multiple approaches, including stealth. Other types of activities include photo investigations, task force, aiding the police in a deadlock, rescue situations and infiltrating hideouts. The existing crimes have been expanded with new types such as arson and hostage situations. Similar to the inFAMOUS series there is a morale system where the player can choose to have Spider-Man intervene to stop crime or to ignore it. Different enemies need to be taken out with combat techniques and various upgrades can be earned throughout the game. There are different types of web available, for instance used to freeze something or to make it explode.
The web is controlled with Spider-Man's left and right hand with two separate buttons. The swinging has become more strict in the sense that it is no longer possible to always swing about anywhere if there is nothing present to attach it to, even though there are exceptions. He can swing freely throughout the city using a web-swinging mechanic. Players control Spider-Man in an open-world version of Manhattan similar to the previous games in the franchise. However, he soon finds that there is much more going on in the city of Manhattan and finds himself in a tangled web between Oscorp, Wilson Fisk and a mysterious new serial killer.
The game opens with Spider-Man tracking down his uncle Ben's killer in order to bring him to justice. It takes place outside the events of the film with a separate storyline where Spider-Man discovers a larger threat to NYC that has turned the underworld upside down, weaving together villains from the film and classic Marvel characters. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is an action game released as a tie-in with the movie of the same name.
