PREVIEW: The Amazing Spider-Man Game

The Amazing Spider-Man Iguana reveal trailer went live today. Thus far villains revealed have been Rhino and Iguana (I’m assuming that’s the lizard and they’re calling it the Iguana as a joke?) He definitely looks like an Iguana, not the normal Lizard that I’m used to. Lizard confusion aside the web slinging looks absolutely phenomenal. The studio developing the game Beenox is responsible for the last few Spider-Man games. They developed: Edge of Time, Shattered Dimensions, Friend or Foe, and Spider-Man 3: The Game. While watching the trailer I couldn’t help but notice that his fighting style is the same as every other game. I don’t know if there’s a running gag in the Spidey universe but the double-fisted upper cut and the straight punches looked exactly like the Super Nintendo moves (Maximum Carnage anyone?). If you’re going to do a hat tip I suppose that’s the way to do it.
 


 

This trailer looks a lot better than the Rhino reveal that the studio dropped not even 2 weeks ago. It could be the way that the music blended with the Rhino reveal, and my overall distaste for techno, but I didn’t find myself excited at all. I was actually kinda concerned if the game would even be playable. Some of the collision points with Rhino and Spidey looked a bit dodgy and the web connecting to the pieces looked a bit N64. However, the reveal of “the iguana” I’m not joking, they call it that on their site. Made me much more confident, I think we’ve got a solid Spider-Man game on the way this summer. In case you don’t believe me, here’s the Rhino reveal trailer for your viewing pleasure.
