You can unlock more backstory via side-missions, but they’re rarely worth the effort. It certainly doesn’t help that the script is very schizophrenic, jumping from attempted melodrama to hackneyed gags a matter of seconds.

Where the movies at least make an effort to give you nuanced introductions and unique team-ups, this bland plot throws just about every single one of the seven supervillans into the fray individually and without fanfare, particularly at the end. These are consequence-free choices that just determine the order in which questions are asked. The biggest affront in this added time is the “interactive” dialogue sequences.

It takes about 15 minutes to beat one, but you’ll have spent another 15 during that mission slowly walking around taking photos and searching for items as Peter Parker. The combat lead-up to a boss battle is actually pretty short – more often than not, you have to clear a single (albeit large) room of enemies before progressing to the supervillan.

Missions in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 are significantly shorter than its predecessor’s, but the running time is roughly the same seven hours due to undesirable padding. Across the board, though, there are a few low-budget stylistic choices unbecoming of a blockbuster movie adaptation, like the lack of lip syncing in the intros and the static news screens that accompany the outros of petty crime side-missions. The biggest difference is the ground traffic in New York City, where the rush hour of more powerful platforms turns into 3AM Tuesday midtown traffic on the older systems. On the Wii U, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360, the hardware is able to keep pace with a few graphical concessions. The game is available for all major platforms, but outside of the unflinching framerate, which stays steady no matter how fast Spidey swings, I wasn’t all that impressed by its looks on PC or newer consoles.
