Well, aside from the Spider-Man character model, the graphics are average or below. The camera goes frickin' insane in some indoors environments. Combat is a little sketchy. It's like they copied off of Batman's paper but made a lot of spelling/grammatical errors. The swinging mechanic is imprecise but somehow waaay to simple. The voice acting is annoying, especially Spider-Man.
And yet, I love this game. I spend more than an hour of each play session just swinging through New York and thinking how much they nailed it. I took on a trio of Spider-Slayer robots this morning and I thought to myself, "This is great!" And the more I play the game, the more it opens up and gives you more stuff to do. No, it isn't fit to hang out on the same shelf as the Arkham games but that doesn't matter. Right now, I'm enjoying my time filling Spider-Man's spandex tights.
And today, I'm going to buy at least one more Spider-Man game! Not sure which one, though. Web of Shadows, Edge of Time, or Shattered Dimensions. To Metacritic, I go!
