Product Description
Evil never sleeps. Embrace your power and protect your playground. What started out as the search for a killer very quickly becomes something so much more. In a unique story set alongside the events of the second film, Spider-Man discovers he's not the only one tracking down Manhattan's criminals. The underworld has been turned upside down with a one-man campaign of violence and murder that has captured the city in an iron grip of fear. Villains from the film as well as fan-favorite, classic Marvel characters are woven together in a twisted web of adrenaline-fueled, free-roaming, web-slinging action that puts players on a collision course with an evil far beyond Spider-Man's reckoning. Game Features Play as Peter Parker: Play as Spider-Man's citizen alter-ego persona as you investigate the motivations of multifaceted villains. All-Star Villain Cast: Wide cast of Spider-Man universe and movie villains, each with their own unique boss battle encounters. All-New Web Arsenal: New web-swing mechanic includes expanded web-shooter capabilities and chemical properties that allow you to freeze and blow up items on impact. Expansive NYC: Explore and take on villains in a more expansive Manhattan cityscape than the previous Amazing Spider-Man.

Full disclosure: I have played just about every non-handheld Spider-Man game since they went 3-D with the 2000 PS1 Spider-Man game. That Spider-Man game was great for its time but it was the 2004 Spider-Man 2 game that really nailed the formula, with the first open-world Manhattan setting and the first web-swinging system where the webs hit nearby buildings. But since then, all of the games have fallen short for one reason or another, usually as a result of poor design choices or horrible bugs.
Amazing Spider-Man 2 is the first game in a decade that gets it all back on track.
The first thing you'll notice is that the web-swinging is near perfect. For the first time since Web of Shadows, the web-lines connect to the nearby buildings so that you are actually swinging from a building and not from the sky. The right/left hand options were a brilliant idea, as it gives you more control of where you're swinging from. The complexities are fun: which buttons you press, when you let go, or how high or low you're swinging, or when you switch from one hand to the other, all affect different aspects of your velocity and swinging arcs. And if you want to keep it simple, you can opt to avoid the complexities by just keeping your finger on the swing button and not pressing any other buttons at all: it has the same effect of driving on automatic rather than manual. You'll swing pretty much like you did in the first game. (I like the complexities personally.)
Combat is also the best we've seen in any Spider-Man game. The countering and the stealth attacks work far more seamlessly than in the previous Amazing Spider-Man. Spidey's Spider-Sense not only allows you to passively sense danger, but you can activate a Spider-Sense visual mode that allows you to pinpoint where enemies are and even where they are looking so that you can avoid their sight, which makes stealth a more attractive option.
The side missions are more varied and are actually fun, as are the additional spider-suits. The suits each come with their own bonuses and make for a nice change of pace. I played a good portion of the game in the Miles Morales Spider-Man costume.
The game's still not perfect. First, the plot is... well, there's really no other way to put it, the plot is all over the freaking place. While the game writers wisely chose not to follow the movie plot too closely, what they did instead was throw a bunch of plot darts at a dartboard in the hope that something sticks. You start off investigating the Russian mob and... asleep already? Yeah, that's pretty much how I felt. It was so boring for the first hour that I walked away from the game and didn't go back to it for weeks. It wasn't till over an hour into the game that I came across the first super-villain, Shocker. Then there's a half-baked plot involving Kraven, the introduction of Cletus Kasady, and eventually the introduction of the Kingpin - and ultimately, Electro and the Green Goblin are tossed in almost like an afterthought. It's all very unfocused and not engrossing at all. This isn't the Arkham games where the mood and pacing were all immersive enough to make you feel invested in the stakes; nor is it Spider-Man 3 which, while a terrible game, at least had the virtue of letting you choose which storyline you wanted to play at which point. Having said all that, fortunately the gameplay and game mechanics are so damn good that you can just ignore the plot and still have fun, which is something that couldn't be said for Amazing Spider-Man 1.
There are also some annoying bugs: nowhere near as bad as previous games, but still present, and still annoying. The worst is the wall-crawling. While I would say that it is noticeably improved, you can't go from standing at a ledge to climbing down from it without jumping off and then trying to press "Y" as soon as possible, which is risky and haphazard when you're trying to be stealthy. (The Arkham games give you the option of pressing a button that allows you to hang from the edge of a ledge.) Sometimes the game indicates to you that you should do something (such as heal), and you'll do it thinking that it is a genuine hint, only to find that you can't do it: the worst example of this is when you are fighting Black Cat, and the heal indicator comes on, but when you try to heal the Black Cat appears out of nowhere to disrupt you. Oh, and amusingly, when you find new costumes and put them on, you still have the same scratches and tears that the previous suit had. I just find that to be hilarious.
Still, the bad does not overwhelm the good. All in all this is the best Spider-Man game in the last ten years - and one can even argue that it is the best Spider-Man game ever, though I personally thought that the PS1 Spider-Man and PS2/X-Box Spider-Man 2 games were better for their respective generations. Amazing Spider-Man 2 is not going to give Rocksteady a run for its money, nor will it attract non-Spidey fans, but if you're looking for a great Spider-Man experience then this is it.

正直グラフィックはいまいちだが光の具合はいい感じで、なぜか毎回スパイディだけ素晴らしいでき(笑)スーツの質感は凄い。Ps4とps3のグラフィックはぜんぜん変わらないみたいで、そう考えるといいのか?
悔しいのが9月にps3のみスクエニからローカライズされる汗。損した気分(笑)しかし流石スクエニ!ローカライズや発売中止に開発中止といったゲームを発売するなどスクエニは世界一!
完全にスパイダーマンになれるこのゲーム!バットマンシリーズよりぜんぜん面白いがグラフィックスのショボさは残念です。やはりバットマンには勝てないのか?ローカライズも最近はなし。
☆よい点
○スパイダーマンのみグラフィックは素晴らしい
○スパイディになった気分になりる
○簡単コンボでスパイディがいちいちかっこいい
○コスチュームが豊富かつサブで入手可能
○サブミッションが多分一生終わらないタイプ
○クリアしてもリプレイできる
★悪い点
●とにかくスパイディ以外グラフィックスが適当←特に人物キャラや車←ps2並み
●火事のミッションがめんどくさい
●レース←バットマンにもありますが輪っか通過とかいらん
●メインミッションが短いし派手なボス戦や雑魚戦もいまいちない
アメイジングスパイダーマン1を後購入で届くのまってますがYouTubeみる限り1のが面白そう。
価格が高いのでなんとも言えませんが1、2両方プレイして満足する感じ?
アメイジングスパイダーマン1をプレイしていますが断然アメイジングスパイダーマン1の方が面白いです!迫力や演出が細かく作り込まれていて戦闘も多い。バットマンよりは面白いろい
