Amazing Spider-Man Pre-Order DLC Lets You Become Stan Lee, Rhino
2yos85c.jpg


GameStop pre-order customers will get access to the Rhino Challenge. In this timed event, players take on the role of supervillain Rhino and wreak havoc in Manhattan. You'll be scored based on how much destruction you sow.

Purchasing the game at Best Buy, meanwhile, will earn you the rumored Stan Lee DLC. Players step into the shoes of the Spider-Man creator and race around Manhattan collecting pages of his latest script. The end of the mission will contain some sort of surprise related to Spider-Man's 50th anniversary.
 
I see that he still throughs the web to the clouds in this one instead of buildings like in Spiderman 2... they had nailed the web thing in 2 pretty well, it felt pretty realistic and it required some skill and buildings around you like it should be... in this one it seems you can use the web to move even if there is no buildings around you :(
 
I think they might actually be heading in the right direction with this. Movie tie in games are usually terrible but Spiderman 2 was the exception. The developers know this and are aware that the fans have been asking for essentially Spiderman 2 to be remade. This looks like it might just be that.
 
Although I'm not one to base my game purchases on reviews(not that there's anything wrong in doing so, to each their own), I've included some of the reviews so far.

The Amazing Spider-man 1977 series intro

I loved watching this series as a kid.

Just like I thought... and from reading the reviews I got the confirmation that the web swing physics arent up to par with Spiderman 2 and that you can web swing in open areas like parks without buildings around you... Im going to pass on this one and hope they get it right in the next one... I shouldnt have sold the PS2 :(
 
On a whim I picked this up yesterday from GameStop.. Missed out on all the pre-order stuff though. I know everyone is screaming for a Spider-man 2 like game, but if it plays anything like the first Spider-Man game on the PS1 then I'll be happy.


Edit: Eh.. Save your money people. This is a rental at best.
