A new
Spider-Man reboot launches this Summer, and as you'd expect, our friends
at Gameloft are preparing to launch a matching tie-in to coincide with
the film's debut. The Amazing Spider-Man is a huge departure from what
we have seen on iOS thus far. The reason? Open- world action baby!
The Amazing
Spider-Man takes cues from titles like Grand Theft Auto III and even
Gangstar Rio: City of Saints. With open traversal around Manhattan, you
can swing around and take on various missions at your leisure. While the
game is still in development, the web swinging feels extremely
satisfying as Spidey twists and contorts in a way that's reminiscent of
the new movie's trailers. The combat is reminiscent of Rocksteady's
Batman games. Enemies typically surround you in a circle, and you have
the freedom to take them down in epic fashion with chain combos. At one
stretch, we had a thrilling 86 hit combo going.
