The Amazing Spider-Man  (for Xbox 360)

Your favourite web slinger is back and this time he has a more powerful villain to confront. A single-player action-adventure video game that was developed by Beenox and published by Activision for the PC, The Amazing Spider-Man is a continuation to the 2012 film with the same name which stars Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone and Rhys Ifans.

The storyline follows Peter Parker (Spider-Man) who, months after the Lizard (Curt Connors) wreaked havoc, is housesitting the apartment of Stan, his aunt’s friend. When Peter and his girlfriend Gwen sneak into Oscorp to gain more knowledge about cross-species, the cross-species there react strongly to Peter’s presence and break out of their containment units in a fit of agitation and disperse all across Manhattan after biting Gwen and Smythe. Doctor Alistair Smythe, the new Oscorp director, deploys his security robots to seek and contain the cross-species. Now, with the help of Dr. Connors who is an expert on the subject of cross-species, Peter Parker must battle the cross-species and somehow create an antidote to cure the infected Gwen and Smythe. However, soon after, Connors needs to return to his Lizard form to battle Smythe, who becomes a villain, though if he is successful at thwarting Smythe, who will save everyone from the Lizard? Will Spider-Man live through the ordeal and triumph in battle against the Lizard?

The gameplay of The Amazing Spider-Man sees the player controlling Peter Parker and battling the many cross-species creatures, security robots, goons, Smythe, the Lizard and more. A unique damage system has been implemented in this game which ensures that Spider-Man’s suit deteriorates with his health; Spider-Man will have to return to his hub, i.e., Stan’s Apartment, to heal and repair damages to the costume. Drawing inspiration from the Batman game series, The Amazing Spider-Man offers an open world environment where the player can swing through the nooks and crannies of Manhattan at one’s own whim.

Different costumes can be unlocked along the course of the game by finding different kinds of symbols that are scattered across the expanse of Manhattan and taking photos of them. The combat and navigation have been improved. This game's new Web Rush mechanic lets players pull off a broad variety of acrobatic moves and attacks. Furthermore, the player has to use stealth attacks to quell one’s foes quite often. The player can also collect comic book pages that are hidden across the city; once all of them are collected, the user unlocks a full-page comic book.
