While it does seem like that's the case, I would argue that it's more influenced by Noir Spider-Man in Shattered Dimensions more than Batman: Arkham Asylum/City even though Arkham Asylum was released in August 2009, and Shattered Dimensions in 2010. It still serves its purpose, but I miss chaining it and getting massive air because of it.Īnother system that seems to have been taken from Batman are the stealth takedowns. Web-striking is pretty fun, but nowhere near as versatile or controllable (except in direction) as the Web-strike in Web of Shadows. The same can easily be said about it in Amazing Spider-Man, you just gotta find the right rhythm. But hey, there's a reason why the mechanic was so popular - it's damned fun. The countering mechanism in ASM is spotty and doesn't work as fluidly as Batman's, and you'd find yourself spamming the triangle button without it really affecting your combo streak. Captain America Super Soldier copied it the best they could and it's quite obvious Amazing Spider-Man did the same thing, only you'll notice that it isn't as polished as it was either Batman game. And developers aren't shy about acknowledging that, either. It is now the yardstick against which all superhero games are to be measured. I dunno if it'll get interesting past the chapter I'm on, but I don't see that happening.īatman: Arkham Asylum and City have really set the bar high. I can totally see my non-highschool student apartment that belongs to a friend named Stan from here.īosses like the S-02 and the Hunters look pretty menacing and the way they animate is just bananas good! The other enemies, though, are generic looking thugs and infected citizens of Manhattan. That's why it's sad that most missions take place indoors in generic looking sciencey places or sewers.
Try heading up to a tall tower look outward to just admire the city. You can see for kilometers in all directions. A few buildings do stand out, though, like Oscorp. The Amazing Spider-Man's city looks alive, even if the buildings look similar to one another.
On the macro level of things, sandbox games never fail to impress me, especially if you can really feel the vastness and diversity of the environment. Most character models, especially the ones you interact with have a dead expression on their faces and they look weird when talking, especially since the mouth animations don't really match the words coming out. It's not that bad maybe games like Arkham City and Uncharted have spoiled me. Unfortunately, no one else in the entire city looks remotely human. He looks great web swinging, fighting or just striking an iconic pose. Spider-Man looks fantastic, as he should. I would definitely have to say that the graphics in the game are a bit of a mixed bag.
