Honestly, this is a pretty nice adaptation that was licensed from the movie. I enjoyed that it took place after the first movie. It's honestly good that it has an original plot. Graphically, the game looks very good on PS3. Voice actors are honestly very impressive. The combat and stealth is good. I enjoyed some of the sections. The game shows how well Peter struggled through his adventure. Web Rush is honestly such a nice gameplay feature for the game.... when it wants to actually work. Web-swinging feels very good. The way that they made New York in the game was made very well. The boss battles were very good. My favorite has to be the Black Cat boss. The story is handled very well. It is honestly a very good Spider-Man story in this game.

The reason why I said Web Rush is good when it wants to work, is that the Web Rush can mostly be very weird. Sometimes it works, but mostly it doesn't. The voice actor for Peter, despite being a good voice actor for Spider-Man, is not a good choice for Andrew Garfield Spider-Man. The face models look very weird on characters. Though Gwen's might be the best, but she doesn't look like Emma Stone. The side content can be fun at first, but the more I play it became very tedious. Sometimes the buttons won't respond to the game. I would try to counter or do a signature move and yet it acts like I didn't press the buttons. I know you guys might think that it's probably my controller, but it's not. I played Phineas and Ferb Across the 2nd Dimension and my controller works very well. No issues with it. The biggest problem with this game is that it tries so hard to be an Arkham clone.... and try to be it's own Arkham, but it didn't do well. It should've made this game have very unique Spider-Man gameplay.

Overall, the game does have charm to it, despite its flaws. I can definitely see the charm that it has. It has effort going for it. It is still a playable Spider-Man game. I'd say go ahead and play it if you like.
