OVER ALL RATING 7.5

| The new black suit |
Being a huge spider-man fan, I simply had to get The Amazing Spider-man for the Nintendo 3DS. This game is actually the epilogue to the movie so if you want o get the most out of the game I would see the movie first. (I haven't because I am deprived of fun) Even if you don't the story makes sense weather you see the movie first or not. One thing that I was truly disappointed about was the lack of free roaming. (one of the main reasons I bought the game was for the free roaming... and there isn't any!?) So if you want the free roaming aspect of the game buy the PS3 or Xbox version (if you have one) the 3DS game has two alternate suits, the classic Spiderman suit and the black suit. To get the classic suit you must complete all of the petty crimes in the game. Petty crimes are side missions that you can play after you finish the game, you have to do things like defeat all the enemys within a certain time or survive an enemy assault. To unlock the black suit you must complete vigilante mode. Vigilante mode is exclusive to the 3DS it would be fun if it were more like a strategy game. This game is completely based on luck, when you enter a mission you pick weather you will web swing or web rush and other ways of entering the crime scene. Then a bar comes on the screen and all you can do is cross your fingers and hope for the best. There is no real web swinging in most most levels other then the hunter battles and the spider slayer battles which are my favorite kinds of levels.

If you pre-ordered the game you would have gotten
a special Stan Lee suit. |
All in all The Amazing Spiderman didn't completely disappoint me. Though vigilante mode needs some work I still recommend it.

The "Rhino" fight was one of the highlights
of the game. |
