The Amazing Spider-Man launch trailer swings into action

The Amazing Spider-Man game launches on Friday and was featured as one of our games you can play this week (along with Spec Ops: The Line); and it’s about time, as we’ve been itching for our full-blown open-world Spidey experience for quite some time.

A launch trailer kicks off the Web-head’s return with a cinematic fly-through shot of a frozen frame moment, which seems to be the cool thing to do in trailers these days.

The video also features Rhino, Iguana, Scorpion, Felicia Hardy and The Lizard.

Like its movie counterpart, The Amazing Spider-Man is set to reboot and reinvigorate the Spider-Man name, by returning players to the large sandbox environment of New York, with free-roaming web-swinging and new Web Rush mechanic, which allows players to freeze time and plot their next move, resulting in quick and fluid traversal throughout the city.

The Amazing Spider-man releases this Friday, 29 June 2012.
