This fucking game.

The story? Absolute bananas. I read someone call this a more apt Shadow the Hedgehog and they were absolutely spot on. It's glorious.

The gameplay? A cancelled Spiderman 4 game turned into an over the top edge-fest by the creators of Hulk Ultimate Destruction with a whiff of Crackdown. Simplistic and barbaric macro action with great traversal. You can go full unga unga in this motherfucker, but there's also the disguise mechanic from Destroy All Humans which you can use to cheese the AI.

The thing is tho, the game just starts ridiculous and it just keeps going and going until NY is completemy fucked, and it's glorious, but when you reach the climax the game kinda fumbles it with some weak bossfights and a deflating last stretch. It's like they ran out of budget or ideas.

But even if they didn't wrap it up as nice as they could have, the core game is just pure chaos and unfiltered fun and it manages to go places. Very recommended.
