The Amazing Spider-Man 2 for PlayStation 4 will hit the shelves locally on Friday, 9 May 2014. If you were thinking of getting yourself a copy, you might want to read this review roundup first – the game has not garnered glowing reviews.<\/p>\n
Despite the largely negative feedback, the game has reached the\u00a0number one spot in the UK sales charts<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Amazing Spider-Man 2\u00a0was sitting on a review score of 54 on Metacritic, <\/a>at the time of publication.<\/p>\n The Amazing Spider-Man 2 comes in a next-gen wrapper, but feels like a last-gen experience. There\u2019s plenty of fun to be had thanks to some fun battles, an entertaining story, and scads of collectibles. Just be prepared for an experience that looks and feels extremely familiar.<\/p>\n The problem is that a great game can be seen swimming just beneath the surface of the game that we ultimately got. A severe lack of polish and the need to rush this out to match the film\u2019s release left what could have been a good game buried under mounds of flaws, \u00a0issues, and sheer drudgery. While there were aspects of this game that really could have been something special, or even passable, I would have to say that the overall package of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 isn\u2019t really all that amazing.<\/p>\nGamesRadar<\/a> – 3\/5<\/h3>\n
