    Man was it stupid to see a giant robot burrowing in and out of the ground. Why can't video game developers realize that less is more? I'd rather battle the Green Goblin. Solo.

    This is a good game when im swinging around the city. But my goodness, all the lame "made for video game' nonsense is terrible.

    I don't think this game comes close to the Spider Man movie game that came out for the original XBox. Any thoughts?

    I really don't see a problem.. This is the best spider game, and people who complain about 'robots' being in game haven't got a clue about Spider-man

     

    This is a good 'origin' based game, and how Smythe came to be. It is different tho..  and ending does not help it.

    The robots you see are actually spider-slayers, specifically created by Smythe to hunt and kill spider man, even tho they look like snakes for some reason (later on you find different types of robots)

     

    Look at this  - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxZRSq-sw2Y

    They'll probably put GG in next game, along with few other villains

    I'm with you Adam. This game isn't awful, but when a giant burrowing mechanical monster starts shooting out of the ground it can break the immersion a bit. I am familiar with the Spider-slayers story arc and all that, but that still doesn't change the fact that they are crazy dull to fight in ASM. 

    A few slaps on the B button, a few Quick Time events, bam. Done. And even though this thing burrowed through half the city there is not gaping chasm showing anywhere. I get that it would be difficult to change the games terrain, but that is the difference between an OK game and a good (or great) game. 

    My problem is less with the robots though. My problem is the complete lack of thrill when web-swinging. If you can't fall or can't get hurt then it sucks all the fun out of it. Take a game like InFamous or Prototype for example. Those games give you interesting ways to traverse the city, but it's exciting because you're always on the lookout for enemies or military or rival gangs, whatever. The auto-pilot web mechanics mean your never in danger and it just leaves me feeling flat. 

    ASM is a game more interested in showing you something amazing, than it is in letting you do things that feel amazing. But I guess this is clearly a game for the kiddies so maybe I should just shut up about it.

    I dont know anything about Spider Slayers. I never really read the comics. I just watch the movies. If I play a game based on a movie I want it to be similar to the movie. Whenever Im pitted against a giant robot I sigh and hope that it's over quickly. A giant robot burrowing in and out of the city would kill thousands of people. Which adds to the idiocy of it all. It's just a really boring part of the game.

    I agree and disagree with the robots, the snake one doesnt really make sense but the rest are fine and make good referance to the spider slayers from the comics.
