Marvel's Spider-Man
Since the popularization of Spiderman, there have been many attempts to create the coolest computer game, but alas! - none of the developers managed to hit the target. And now, finally, the aspirations of the fans came true. Introduced to the world, "Marvel's Spider-Man" from Insomniac Games instantly gathered a lot of positive reviews and quickly became a favorite not only among those who were fond of the exploits of Spider-Man at one time. The authors were especially successful in the fight with the help of the web and the flights of the protagonist over the city streets.
New story with a famous hero
Peter Parker enters the game at the age of 23 and with 8 years of experience as Spiderman, he works for the scientist Otto Octavius, with whom he creates new intelligent prostheses. The mayor of the city and Norman Osborn are putting sticks in the wheels of the researchers, then Wilson Fisk intervenes in the situation, which provoked a gang war. The Demons gang, Chinese immigrants with a clouded mind, supervillains Mister Negative, Reno, Scorpio, Vulture and Electro - all of them haunt Spiderman. Further, figures of goodies are interwoven into the showdown - Officer Jefferson and his son Michael, the head of the international organization "Sable International" - a girl nicknamed the Silver Sable and many others. In a word, the balance of power is familiar - good versus bad, and the one who is stronger will win!
Unusual graphics in Marvel's Spider-Man
All gamers, as one, celebrate the amazing graphics and chic travel system for Spiderman. New York was shown in motion, its residents either take out umbrellas when it starts to rain, or put on masks in the face of strong smoke from a fire. The streets are filled with patrols, and during an epidemic, tents with refugees and evacuation points appear in the central park.
This approach turns the player into a direct participant in all events, and the sea of drive adds a flight on a cobweb over the city. Gamers are excitedly delighted with the sensations of flight, when the wind roars in their ears, the rumble and sirens of cars or the rustle of foliage are heard. Some even duplicate them on purpose. You can also maneuver between skyscrapers, find new paths, cut corners, move much faster, so flying can be safely called another game in the game.
Fights & Supersuits
Also, gamers drew attention to adjacent missions, which are sometimes repeated, but even so they retain interesting plot twists. The authors placed a special emphasis on super suits, and they paid off. According to the film, Spiderman has one costume, but there are many of them in the game, the original design solutions are taken from other films, cartoons and comics. And each suit unlocks a special skill! For a completed mission, the player is given a token that can be used to upgrade gadgets and these very costumes.
As far as combat is concerned, you can learn how to handle the web pretty quickly. And then catch the buzz from the unusual catching of criminals, especially at a construction site or on the roofs of skyscrapers. Spiderman famously scatters spider drones, web bombs, and mini jet engines that easily lift opponents into the air. A special feature is that entangled enemies immediately stick to any surfaces, including cars. You can act differently: clinging objects and throwing them at adversaries, it works no less efficiently.
Marvel's Spider-Man options and suggested solutions
In fact, the player unfolds the game scenario, albeit within certain limits. Spiderman can die not from the hands of the boss, but also from weaker opponents, and only because the gamer got a little carried away and did not get the hero out of the blow in time. Although it was possible to duplicate a well-known trick: in a jump, grab a wall, climb up and quickly hide. Experienced players are advised to be flexible in such situations, because it is better to recoup the villains later, already having a good arsenal, with new skills and gadgets.
Some critics call "Marvel's Spider-Man" a competent adaptation of the comic, but it is not. The hero does not act according to the accepted scheme, but makes decisions, acts guided by his capabilities, sometimes setting a completely different course of the game. In general, the developers aimed to create an unusual symbiosis of entertainment, where there is a place for any ambitions, even militant, even creative. And they succeeded quite well.
Pros and cons of the game
So, very rightly, the hero is considered the best Spider-Man in the history of games, and the scenes are a graphic masterpiece. The plot is also thought out, unfolds dynamically, weaves in a lot of heroes and destinies, generously flavored with notes of feelings and emotions. Again, the advantage is a competent balance of difficulty: you need to fight not at random, but after preparing for any traps. They also praise the bouncy combat system, super-parkour on the web, cool script that provides responsive control.
With regards to cons, there are not so many of them. The monotony of adjacent missions has already been mentioned, however, if you skip optional tasks, the game is much more dynamic. There are few interesting side quests, boss battles are somewhat primitive and less spectacular than we would like. But this, in fact, does not play a decisive role, the pleasure of "Marvel's Spider-Man" is great. And this opinion is confirmed by the majority of gamers who tried on the role of Spider-Man well, almost in real life.
