The Amazing Spider-Man Swings into Launch Position Video Game Form

For those of us that have been waiting for this Spider-Man movie  and just can’t wait any longer, great news has swung into motion. The official game launched today and is primed to amaze us all.

The game takes place after the event of the movie, so it serves as an epilog to the theatrical variant. Will the game come with spoilers? Sure, because there is a game that takes place after the movie…..we know that Spider-Man doesn’t die in the movie. That’s a pretty big spoiler in itself. No reason to see the movie anymore, really.

But seriously, the game looks great. The graphics engine appears to be completely redone from any Spider-Man game I’ve seen, the combat looks more complex than in previous games, and, of course, the web-slinging mechanics looks euphoric and have even improved over previous games. Thanks to a new mechanic called Web-Rush, Spidey will be faster than ever!

I’m really excited for this new game. So much so that I’m heading out the door to go pick it up! [Game] launches on , , , , and DS today while The Amazing Spider-Man [Movie] comes out next Tuesday, July 3.

  1. So, i want to catch up to the current amazing spider-man book. Which is like 652. And im on 29. How long do you think it would take for me to catch up. Or which comic books should i skip to get to that.

  2. Which Comic should I get into. ( Only planning to get into ONE of them, so please don’t say BOTH )

    I don’t know ANYTHING at all about Red Robin, except the main plot of it, but haven’t heard if its good or bad.

    On the OTHER hand I heard Amazing Spider-Man sucks, and it was better earlier on in the series.

    Which comic should I read ?

    I recently started getting the Amazing spider-man again, as well as a book that contains the first 10 spider-man comics in it. But the problem is that mean I am missing the 615 issues in between. I’m not a collector I’m just interested in reading them. So what is the easiest way? Whether it is online or through cd’s it doesn’t matter.

    I loved the original movies with Toby (Forgot his last night) and ect. They were good and they should of continued the series. So is The Amazing Spider-Man like a remake of it or something? And what do you think of this movie? What’s your favorite Spider-Man movie?

    Bonus Question: Are you excited for Wrong Turn 5 more or Jeepers Creepers 3: Cathedral?

  6. I want all of the amazing spider-man comic books. I don’t want the cd or dvd ones. I want a book with color not black and white.
    Thank you.

  7. I want to start reading The Amazing Spider-Man but I know it’s already in the 600++ issue and I wonder if there’s an issue from which I can start from that wouldn’t make me feel lost in the newer issues. Insights would be great.

  11. On the back of the Xbox 360 case it mentions leaderboards in The Amazing Spider-Man. I have not seen anything with leaderboards in the game. Does anyone know of any ranked challenges or anything?

  12. I really liked The Amazing Spider-Man and I hear the sequel will be coming out prorbably in 2014 but what villain or villains do you think will be in it.

    BQ: Who will be Peter Parker’s new love interest?
    BQ2: Do you think Spider-Man will be in a sequel to The Avengers?

  13. I have recently been introduced to the torrent world. While looking around i saw that you can download Xbox 360 games. I have a Xbox 360 and i was wondering how you were to download a game and burn it to a disk and play it?

  14. I’m having trouble downloading pictures to my 360.
    Like, they won’t save?

    can someone help me??
    never mind. i got it.
    i did that and it didn’t work but now it does.

  15. What is the difference between an Xbox 360 Pro bundle, and an Xbox 360 Elite bundle? What do they both come with, and why is one $249, and the other $299?

  16. Can someone tell me what the best 360 degree panoramic photo kit there is out there? So far I have it narrowed down to 0-360 virtual tour, GoPano Panoramic, and Egg Photo 360. I am sick and tired of trying to stitch photos together and having the seams never match up. I just want one of these one shot panoramic kits. Please help.

  17. in the original spiderman with toby mcguire,his love interest’s name is mary jane,and in the amazing spider-man the love interest’s name is gwen stacy? i thought they were just remaking spider-man into a newer version.
    i don’t follow comic books,or anything so i dont get it.
    anyone care to explain?
    xo

  18. What is the difference between the xbox 360 Pro and the xbox 360 Arcade besides the price? I am going to buy one but i don’t understand why one is cheaper than the other. And if you have any recommendations on which ne to buy please comment.

  19. I do not have the wireless adapter for my 360 to connect with WiFi. The only logical answer is a ridiculously long ethernet cord but my router is all the way across the house and its a very long house. Any ideas or any rigs I can set up? Like can I connect my laptop wirelessly to the internet, and then route the internet through the ethernet port to the 360? Sounds unlikely, but any ideas?

  24. I’m planning to get L.A. Noire on my 360 and it comes in 3 discs. So i was wondering how it works. Insert all 3 discs and install content on your 360 or insert disc 2 and 3 as the story progresses?

  25. I’m trying to connect my xbox 360 controller to my pc (I know how). But my xbox keeps interfering and turns on everytime i turn the controller on. Any way to prevent this?

  26. I am planning to buy Ferrari 360 maybe 2004 or 2003 model, i want to know if someone knows in dollar amount if possible how much its costs for normal service or oil change. I just want to make sure that i am making a right decision and have enough funds to service it.
