The real problem is the combat lacks any weight, one thing that Arkham does very well. It's all very serviceable, but not particularly exciting except in boss battles, which play as normal encounters with the difficulty turned up. Finally, a seismic shock move rounds out your major abilities, allowing you to stun larger enemies to take them down. Spider-Man's webbing adds a bit more depth by letting you slow down foes and pull yourself towards an enemies or vice-versa. You'll punch enemies until you can use a finishing move and dodge their attacks when the prompt appears. The game's combat tries to mimic the Batman: Arkham series, but without the same fluidity. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is the evolutionary outgrowth of everything Beenox has done with the character since Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions. Kraven has the best plot thread, but it's a bit wasted.
The strongest thread is Kraven's, which could've explored the grey area of vigilante crime-fighting, but that gets shoved out of the way to give the other characters some space. The plot isn't a cohesive whole and feels hacked together to get everyone on the same playing field.
Instead, Spider-Man is tasked with dealing with Kraven the Hunter, the Kingpin, Black Cat, and serial killer Cletus Kasady (spoilers for comic fans). Reporter Whitney Chang and the entire cross-species idea are brought back from the previous title, though each is only vaguely touched on. Think of it as an alternate reality version of the movie's universe.
Once you leave the movie link behind, the Amazing Spider-Man 2 you're left with is a continuation of the plotlines established in 2012's The Amazing Spider-Man game. In fact, the game and the film seem to contradict each other once you add in some continuity issues related to Harry Osborn. If it's meant to be a movie tie-in game, it misses the mark completely Peter Parker doesn't look or sound like Andrew Garfield and the movie villains are only dropped in briefly, making them feel like a complete afterthought. PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, Wii U, 3DS, Android, iOSĪmazing Spider-Man 2 is a hard game to categorize.
