The Amazing Spider-Man



In anticipation of the new, completely re-imagined, Amazing Spider-Man movie coming out in July, Beenox and Activision present The Amazing Spider-Man video game available for all game platforms.

In this latest incantation of the Webslinger, Spider-Man doesn't just swing from buildings and stick to walls.  The arachnid avenger flips, twists, jumps, falls, twirls and contorts as he shoots his new non-organic web from the webshooters he created.  

His acrobatic antics are put into full play in a 360 degree camera angle extravaganza that will leave you breathless.  The pulse-pounding soundtrack only intensifies the action as Spidey takes on some his deadliest foes.

The Lizard, the Rhino and the Scorpion are just a few of his super-powered foes.  What makes them visually exciting and deadly is they appear much more organic than their comic book namesakes.  Each appear to be hybrids of human and whatever creature they take their name after.

Of course Spider-Man trounces street thugs and run-of-the-mill villains but then ups the intensity with explosions, rampaging robots and every conceivable type of danger that barely gives the Webslinger enough time to reload his webbing.  

This is Spider-man as he is meant to be.  More than human, incredibly agile, fast, funny and quick on his feet and with his wits, Spider-Man takes on all comers.  

This new game allows gamers to step into the webbed boots of Spider-Man and experience what it is like to swing over Manhattan, save the day and face your greatest fears.

Game play is fast with lightning fast frame refresh time, incredible graphics, backgrounds and character mapping all wrapped up in an original story that takes place after the movie.  It's rated 'T" for Teen except for Nintendo DS which is rated E10+.

Swing into your local store and pick up a copy.  That's what I call really surfing the 'web'.
