The important thing is that he was able to move along swiftly and smoothly, with the occasional 'yahoo!' or 'whoo!' expressing the same rush the player might have been feeling. Spidey simply shot webs and, as in the cartoons, no one ever really cared what they were attaching to. In some of those earlier games, zipping along was a simple and elating affair. And the worst part is, Beenox has broken the cardinal if-it-ain't-broke-don't-fix-it rule by messing with the one thing that made its previous games enjoyable: web-swinging.

Terrible writing, outdated menus, frequent load times, repetitive missions and bugs galore вЂ“ we're not talking spiders вЂ“ conspire to make this latest release a chore to play through. Those efforts, from Shattered Dimensions (2010) and Edge of Time (2011) to the eponymous game tied the 2012 movie, at least served up enough Spidey-ness to please die-hard fans.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is an inauspicious fail for Beenox, the Quebec City-based developer responsible for the previous trio of console games starring everyone's favourite wall-crawler. 'Terrible' might actually be a more accurate description. 'Amazing' is hardly the word to describe the latest Spider-Man game.
