As if the movie this game is tied to wasn't already bad, I genuinely believe this game is an even worse experience. The combat is basically just a copy of Arkham's combat system but not as good. This game also has stealth missions, but they aren't all that fun since they all feel the same. The web swinging is okay but it's definitely not the best out there. This game has a reputation meter, where if you do the side crime stopping activities, the city will like you, but if you don't do them then more enemies will spawn in the open world and will try and kill you. I get that they did this to encourage players to do the crime activities, but a: you can ignore these if you go from story mission to story mission quick enough, and b: I would actually be motivated to do the crime activities if they were any fun. The story is also very lackluster and boring. It feels like they were trying to tell a unique story, but then remembered at the end that they had to shove the movie's plot in here as well (besides Gwen Stacy for some reason). This game also has dialogue sections, but they are neither interesting or necessary. You're literally allowed to choose all of them or none of them, and your choice won't affect the game's story at all. Overall, I feel like this game is crap and I give it 2/5 stars.
