Got this game a week ago and completed story mode on superhero difficultly. Also collected all comic book pages now its just time to go back and collect all the other stuff from the chapters.
the good bits
web-swinging is much more exhilarating than in the other games. the whole angel, the sound of the wind rushing past you, the little twirls spidey does along with the whole "WOOOOOHOOO" and "Yeeeeeehaaaawwwwww!" as he swings its just a lot of fun. Before I got the game I was pretty annoyed with the whole swinging from 'f**k all' but since playing it, my annoyance has diminished....but it's still there.
the camera being closer to spidey works a lot better, especially during web-swinging...makes it more personal and cooler to watch, had no problems with it so far.
the graphics....seriously, spider-man looks freakin awesome! As well as The Lizard, Iguna, Vermin, the only ones who I didn't really look that good were gwen and connors...new york looks fantastic...one problem however is the spire of the ESB not visable.....it looks werid.
voice acting was great, was kinda cautious when it came to the characters not being voiced by their movie counterparts but spidey sounds great!
web rushing is an awesome addition, I'm still getting the hang of incorporating it into my webswinging to make my travels look more flowing and...erm...eh...professional....ish...
the story....fun except not keen on giant robots....they weren't as fun as the other villians/baddies.
the bad....
the wall crawling....the camera during it sucks...I really can't get the hang of it at times.
the combat, while good, seems a bit repetitive...and the dodge doesn't seem to work for me at times.
nothing to do other than swing around the city...It seriously needs constant string of petty crimes and car chases etc.
There's also a bunch of downloadable content thats possible to add. I have a few ideas
- A Crime pack A pack that adds a ton of petty crimes around NYC. As well makes the usual crimes (car chases and thugs attacking civilians) last beyond story mode and stuff. New ideas for possible crimes or things to do include
· Gang wars (like in spider-man 2, 3 and WoS)
· More bank robberies or jewellery thieves (on a lesser scale to the Black Cat one)
· Hostage taking (sometimes this is with the bank robberies or sometimes someone throws a person off a building and you have to web rush the hostage to save them)
· Hijacking (these happen randomly and are similar to car chases except not needing to land on a police car to start it)
· Riots (police vs bad guys)
· Drugs trafficking (group of thugs with crates of whatever and you beat them up
obviously
)
· Prison break (like the mental patients theres about 50 who escape and when you find them you beat them up and either take them to the police or web them to the wall for the police to catch)
· Arson (building on fire and you have to track the arsonist down somehow.) Sometimes theres people trapped in the buildings and you have to save them.
· Cats in trees (this may seem like a cliché but now and again itd be cool to do this
its a small thing but not as stupid as saving a childs balloon
that is awful.
· Vulture bonus pack This pack involves a side mission that reveals that another cross-species (One that doesnt spread infection) escaped Oscorp, the Vulture. Having been spotted creating a nest somewhere, you go to that location to find out that its actually an employee of Oscorp, Adrian Toomes, using tech he had been creating in secret using Oscorps labs and money to create a huge bird like flight suit in an attempt to create a revolutionary new means of transport. But he was being underpaid and underestimated by Oscorp so he decided that he could use the cross-species breakout as a means of committing crimes under the disguise as a dangerous animal. You battle him on top of the ESB and have to web rush and web shoot him. Then you chase him across the city fighting him (kinda like fighting the hunters in the game) to different locations, sometimes you damage his suit and he needs to land on a rooftop to rest/repair which is when you hit him. You finally defeat him on top of Oscorps rooftop, the suit is wrecked and he plummets to his death and you have to rescue him. Then you turn him into the police.
· Mini bosses pack Maybe adds 3 or 4 mini-bosses out and about in the city commiting various crimes. These bosses would be recognisable lesser-known spidey villians. For example you could have Jack-O-Lantern robbing a bank with goons (his origin basically same as 616 wears a dark green military-esque uniform with jack o lantern on head in a way to encourage fear). Or how about Jackel as a crazy new criminal intent on just causing havoc who you end up locking up in the same ward as Dr Connors. Shocker could appear several times, he appear as a petty thief who has these gauntlets that send out vibrations but is easy to defeat. He escapes police custody several times until you finish him off and take him to the prison yourself (basically the ultimate version of himself but with a makeshift version of his 616 costume). The Enforcers can also show up as a group of thugs collecting debts of innocent people and stuff. They are harder to defeat than a normal group of thugs, especially Ox. Silver Sable and her wild pack, employed by Norman Osborn to catch spider-man appear on rooftops and helicopters. Trapster using his adhesive substances to rob banks and immobilize police officers and cars. You can get stuck in these and you have to press the square button continuously to escape. Hes in a car chase at one point and you fight him when you take out his car. Theres a lot of possible stuff to add and even one of these a month for about the same price as the Stan Lee bonus pack would be great.
Costume bundle bonus pack
· 616 classic suit
· 616 black symbiotic suit
· Ultimate red and blue suit
· Ultimate black symbiotic suit
· Bombastic Bag man suit
· Iron Spider suit
· 2099 suit
· Noir suit
· Scarlet Spider suit
Other things
· Webs stick to buildings
duh
· Web rush be a bit more fluid and variable
I hate sometimes how I seem to always leap off a water tower the same way. Plus tone down the use of webs for certain web rushes like using webs to leap from one wall to the nest (indoors) or just a few feet in front of you
· Web yoyo
· Web slingshot/ hold on to two webs at the same time
· More photo missons
· Do things with Gwen, for example take her on dates (well web swing there then skip over the date later til later on
and stuff) or thrill rides like in Spider-man 3.
· Hang baddies from lampposts
· Larger NYC, allow us to go to Queens and stuff.
· Allow us to swim in the water
· Allow us to hold onto a webline and do loops and stuff (add cranes around the city to allow for this)
· Sprint button. Wall crawling and running is too slow. Also when holding this button and jumping you leap further forwards rather than upwards.
· Free running/parkour
.Id love this to be incorporated into web rush. Also it becomes automatic when holding the sprint button.
· Add more variation to the combat system such as being able to web peoples faces, grab people and throw them into each other (not web rodeo), land on peoples shoulders and back flip them into the air, throw them into dumpsters and trash and just generally move different moves and of course
the web slinging kick. Itd be cool if when swinging and holding onto a web (you can web rush a baddie and then perform a flawless swing kick)
· Being able to do tricks while swinging/web rushing/wall crawling.
· Climb up web lines
· More quipping! So much more quipping is needed.
· More things happening in NYC, like parades happening around thanksgiving time (based on your consoles date/time, construction sites, being able to enter different buildings
· More races and fight challenges. See how many thugs you can defeat in a certain amount of time.
· Play as Peter Parker
And theres more but cant be bothered to add more now Im so tired
