Was this game really so uninspiring that nobody has commented by now?

 

[Dangit2019]

Poor Spiderman. He really hasn't gotten a good game since SM2.

 

[Balkan]

Why awlays New Yourk ? Why there is no spider-man in LA for example ? Arent there enough skyscrapers ?
Probably Prototype 1 is the better spider-man game than spider man .

 

[CronoT]

Since the beginning of video games, expecting a movie tie-in game to suck is like expecting the sun to rise. It just happens, and there's very little we can do to stop it from happening.

 

[CyricZ]

Darth Vader's y-front. Now there's a mental image.

 

[marioandsonic]

Nice jab at MovieBob there, Yahtzee.

 

[lockgar]

Yeah, that fisting scene was weird.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

Wow, it seems some developers have really forgotten how to make video games.

 

[Moonlight Butterfly]

So the basic conclusion is that Batman is awesome.

Well I'm glad we sorted that out.

Will anyone ever make a good spiderman game? (Not counting that awesome game spiderman vs kingpin on the master system/mega drive and a fighting game that I can't remember the name of)

 

[Callate]

"So, what's worse than a video game whose cinematic aspirations mean trivializing the player's contribution to play?"

"Ooh! How about said video game being based on a movie, thus rendering those cinematic aspirations utterly ridiculous in the first place?"

"Excellent! Let's ship."

Probably Prototype 1 is the better spider-man game than spider man .

Because spiderman never existed in LA or anywhere besides new york for that matter.

 

[Wolf Hagen]

Seemes Defenatly like a QTE Fest. <.<

Why do they keep doing that? In case we mess up the artists Stile?

Bad developers! Bad! ;P

 

[Jman1236]

Free advice yahtzee, never provoke the wrath of moviebob. Also when are you going to do a ps vita review, both Metal Gear collection and Gravity Daze are out so you something to review.

 

[dnazeri]

I cant wait till we have some decent releases for Yahtzee to shit on. I feel like this is just taking candy from a baby.

 

[rembrandtqeinstein]

Not completely off topic but Spider Man for Genesis was freaking awesome for back in the day

 

[Erttheking]

So in other words, movie licensed games still suck. Weird, I'm pretty casual as gamers go, everyone throws out their favorite games on this site and I draw a blank at what they're supposed to be, but even I know that if a game is based on a movie there's a 99% chance that it's going to suck.

 

[Neofishie]

Can we just get Spider Man 2-2? Keep the web slinging and keep the amount of citizens reporting crimes to a minimum so I don't get burnt out on the combat just by travelling to my next destination.

Since the beginning of video games, expecting a movie tie-in game to suck is like expecting the sun to rise. It just happens, and there's very little we can do to stop it from happening.

There are some exceptions. I really enjoyed Constantine on the Xbox. And the incredibly violent Wolverine Oranges tie-in!

It was great and non linear too. Someone needs to do a modern remake of something like THIS game and stop spewing out shovelware.
