The XBone once again trounces the Playstation 4 as the most expensive paperweight of all time with this Mastapiece. The web-swinging is fast and exciting while also requiring lots of skill instead of just holding the joystick forward and holding a button. It's stylish and fluid and it all goes towards making you feel like Spider-Man. I know that the whole "Makes you feel like (character)" meme is overdone but it really does get you to feel like you're following Peter Parker as his cameraman and doing all the ludicrous shit he's doing. The myriad of ways Spider-Man poses after letting go of a web, the way that Comic Book-esque streak lines appear as you fall to the earth, and the camera gets close to SM as you web swing at the end of a massive fall as if you're following him, it's all great. Combat is stupid simple and basically the same as Batman Arkham Asylum but it's really made a lot better by SM's abilities in the same way a shitty and boring film can be made a lot better by having Nick Cage in it. Also fuck the stupid fucking missions when you play as anyone but Spider-Man. Cannibalize those and improve the weak story and Spider-Man: Miles Morales will make the universe explode
