"The Amazing Spider-man" is just one of many games which star one of the most popular Marvel heroes. Lots of games for lots of platforms (C64, PC, SNES, SEGA, etc), with Spidey in the leading role, while the master villains differ from game to game. And the quality varies, as well. Where does "The Amazing Spider-man" stand? I'll state my case and you decide ;)
At first this action game doesn't look too complicated - the controls are simple (although you can not re-configure them) and there are not a lot of actions that Spidey can perform. |

| Flip the switches here and there with your web shooter, stop certain enemies so you can enter certain areas, and so on. But, shortly after, things get a bit more complicated. More traps, more switches, more repetitive actions, and so on. One thing that has bothered me was the lack of an introductory story, something that would explain the need for all the web squirting, switch pushing/pulling and climbing (unless Peter Parker is an adrenaline freak as well as a mutant ;) ). |
