The Amazing Spider-Man demo

UGLY!
Date played: June 23rd
Platform: 3DS
Time played: 15 minutes
Session fun rating: 4/10

Well, here is another boring demo. There are some good ideas in this Spider-Man game but it's obvious that this game was not in development for as long as "good" games. The graphics are awful, the camera is wonky and I had no idea what I had to do next on several occasions. On the bright side, the combat is pretty good, similar to Batman's, it's almost a copy, just uglier, slower and less fun. I beat up some thugs and fought a latex wearing lady. The best part of the game was just swinging from the ceilings, it's easy to do and is a lot of fun. I will never buy this game but I see it being good enough for kids who love Spider-Man.
