Today we will be looking at the new Spiderman game called The Amazing Spider-Man on iOS devices from Gameloft. I played the game on the iPad and had quite allot of fun with it thus far.

Gameplay

The game, like most spiderman games, is set in an open world where you can pretty much go wherever you want to. You control spiderman with an analog type button on the left and there is a jump button on the right , other buttons also appear depending on what you are doing.

Check out the trailer below

You have a minimap on the top right side and when you tap on it you can see the entire map and set way points.

Like most spiderman games you go from place to place completing missions and beating up bad guys. The swinging mechanics are great with some really nice animations and sounds and feels just like its console counterpart. You can also climb walls and quickly zip to a location with your webs.

The fighting reminds me of the batman fighting system. Basically you have a button to execute attacks, a button to shoot webs and a button to counter when the enemy attracts. You can mix up the moves to preform combos and you can hold the attack button to preform a big power that hits all the enemies.Although this is a mobile game the fighting is still fun and has that spiderman feel to it.

As you play the game and level up you unlock upgrades to improve your spiderman’s combat, strength and speed, web shooting, body and other bonuses. There is also a shop where you can buy stuff like health tonics to restore your health or items to make you invincible for 30 seconds or even a new black spiderman suite.

Graphics

The graphics are pretty good as you can see in the pictures. The environment looks good and the character models are not bad at all.
The spiderman model is done especially well and some of the boss models also looks pretty cool.
The voice acting is not the best but it has never been a strong point in the spiderman games. Overall the game looks better than I expected it would.

Conclusion

Overall I am really enjoying the game. If you have ever play a previous Spiderman game on console or computer and enjoyed it you will probably enjoy this game. Or even if you have not played a Spiderman game before and just want to swing around in an open world and kick some ass then I recommend you give the game a try. The Game currently costs $6.99 on the app store
