Many potentially great comic book games are held back by the immensity of the hero’s powers. The Flash can move faster than light, Mr Fantastic can stretch for hundreds of feet, and don’t even get us started on Superman. Meanwhile, Spider-Man fits the mold of being plausibly super enough to be spectacular but not impossible. The proportionate agility and strength of a spider is easy to capture in combat or exploration (as is wall crawling and web slinging) and his Spider Sense can be used as a guide in unclear settings. The newest game based on the Amazing Spider-Man film takes pretty much all the best uses of his powers from past games and ups the ante by adding the new Web Rush, a first person view that further enhances Spidey’s agility, automatically flinging him from perches all around NYC.
