But hey, 'Texture Quality: AMAZING' sounds pretty good to me. I had to download a 'fix' from the interwebz that basically runs the game on DX9, hence disabling a lot of the eye-candy settings. It's because this is a terrible, terrible port and you have a 50/50 chance that your PC will go full retard in the FPS department for no apparent reason. Is it because my computer can't run it? Nope. Graphically, based on the options that you can tweak before launching the game, an educated guess would be that the game looks fantastic and it has a lot of potential to be shining, shimmering and splendid, but it's just a guess, after all. In the spirit of keeping it fancy, there's power upgrades to choose from and different suits to wear. Needless to say, the side-missions are scarce and repetitive. There's nothing wrong with the formula, since that's what most modern action games do, but in this case, it just feels bland and empty. To keep it 'sandboxey', there's a few secondary objectives and a couple of collectibles that you can waste time on in-between missions. The missions feel completely ripped out from the rest of the game. The presentation is basically something that resembles a sandbox open-world action game but that it's in reality closer to a bad beta or a DLC pack from some other game.

I'm not sure if this is cohesive with the comics, but who cares? At the end of the day, it feels like a very poor plot lacking in substance. Some creepy dudes break free from Oscorp, some other dude makes robots to kill the first dudes, most dudes in the city get infected by the first dudes and Spidey has to save the day.

The game picks up where the movie left off.

(PC VERSION) Straight up: The Amazing Spider-Man is an over-budgeted attempt to cash in on the homonymous Hollywood remake.
