OK, so i bought the first ASM game and thought it was alright.

This new ones terrible. Less interesting, doesnt follow the film or even its own story. Its a weird fractured mess that sits somewhere inbetween.

Doesn't have the movies likenesses or voices or even soundtrack. Basically little in the way of actual cross over.

The webswinging is better this time, but still inconsistant. The side missions would be fun if it wasn't for this really annoying 'menace' mechanic that swings you back and forth between hero and villian without any real input.
Being on the villian side of the scale makes the game do its utmost to kill you and/or block your ability to swing through the city (The one fun thing to do in the game)

Avoid unless under a tenner. Probably better buying the first one.

Real shame that Spiderman 2 (from 10 years ago) and Web of Shadows are still the best spiderman games to date.
