The Amazing Spider-Man
SCORE: 69
Anyone out there remember the old
Spider-Man games on the Sega Genesis? The Amazing Spider-Man on the
Nintendo DS reminds me of those games. The levels are done in 2D, and it
is side scrolling. We can climb most walls, and ceilings. The Amazing
Spider-Man throws things like robots, guards, and cross species at us.
Spider-Man is extremely tiny in The Amazing Spider-Man on the DS. The
graphics do not look that great in terms of the levels where we play.
Now the character conversations and story images look like a comic book.
Those look great. We spend most of our time in the game play levels
which do not impress me. The Amazing Spider-Man is mainly about mindless
violence. We have to kill the creatures to find the key to open the door
to the next room.
The voices and music in The Amazing Spider-Man are great. It really
pumped me up to go and be Spider-Man. Too bad I had to use a magnifying
glass to find him on the screen. To be fair, The Amazing Spider-Man lets
Spider-Man web slinger extremely quickly. The speed at which we can fly
across the screen is impressive. We are talking Superman impressive.
Crates scattered around the levels of The Amazing Spider-Man contain
hidden items, as well as power ups. Those power ups can be extremely
helpful, especially the health items. No matter what I did, I took hits
in The Amazing Spider-Man. Off screen enemies would spit these
projectiles at me that I could never avoid. Pretty cheap hits too. They
can add up over time, and end a mission.
The Amazing Spider-Man is an epilogue to the film. The storyline can be
interesting for those really into Spider-Man. This hand held game did
not impress me. I heard the Nintendo 3DS version is much better. The
Everyone 10 years old and older rating is warranted for this title. Too
many cheap hits, along with monotonous violence plague The Amazing
Spider-Man on the DS.
