There are also instances of screen tearing and jaggies here and there. The loading times are also significantly longer. The graphics are not quite as sharp, and the frame rate takes hits more often than I would have liked. Surprisingly, the game looks a little worse for wear than its other console counterparts. The DLC is little more than glorified time trials and costumes, but it is nice that it is included on the disc. This includes the Stan Lee skin, so we can swing around the city as the revered comic creator, as well as a pack that allows playtime as the movie’s villain, The Lizard. Īnother big addition for this version is that it comes packed with the four DLC offerings the other consoles received. The downside is that indoor areas that don’t have a map, instead just display a giant Spider-Man logo on the screen, making the real estate feel wasted. It also serves as a map of the city in free-roam mode and a physical representation of the OsPhone, which is essentially a menu system that displays emails, hints and statistics. The second screen is thankfully used for more than just playing the game away from the TV. Every game that supports it gets extra credit from me, because it adds a new layer of accessibility. Being able to play the entire game from just the controller is still the best feature the Wii U brings to the console race. The Wii U version does bring a few new items to the mix, with the most notable being the ability for off-screen play on the Gamepad. The core game is also a bit lacking, with missions that drone on far too long, and never really feel fleshed out or all that interesting. The return of a an open-world lends itself to Spider-Man’s skill set, even if a lot of the objectives felt shallow. This iteration was more interesting that the previous effort from developer Beenox. The spotty combat and decent web-swinging haven’t improved in the year since the initial release. The Amazing Spider-Man is certainly no exception. He always seems to be late to the party on release, and never as fashionable. Spider-Man doesn’t have the best track record when it comes to Nintendo consoles. This review will cover the big changes delivered in the Wii U version. We reviewed the game back when it was released, and you can read all about it right here.
Activision gave the game an extra few months to cook, and now Wii U owners can finally swing around Manhattan as everyone’s favorite wall-crawler. It is hard to believe, but The Amazing Spider-Man came out nearly a year ago on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, and was supposed to hit the Wii U late in 2012. When your job is to do whatever a spider can, life can be a challenge.
