Spider-man is my new favourite game ever. I have never been as hooked on a game and it is the only open world game I have bothered to get 100% completion. I might even try to platinum.
It isn't perfect. The story has issues, the open world has nothing special or innovative, and there are some dull repetitive tasks but overall the full package is a brilliant game which is so much fun to play. The web swinging is the best way to travel ever and the huge variety of suits, gadgets and powers adds a ton of variety. The story is a Spidey fan's wet dream with most of your favourites villains and side kicks present and a load of easter eggs to be found. They absolutely nailed the character of Spider-Man/Parker and this has to be one of the best adaptations in any form. I also found the voice acting to be top notch which really added to the emotional weight of the story. Yep I cried at the end.
Also, another awesome thing was that this was the first game my 2 year old daughter showed interest in. She first started yelling "Monkey" so I had to explain that no it is Spider-Man. She now loves Spider-Man and gets super excited and yells it out whenever she sees an image of him.
Well done Insomniac! I can't wait for the expansion pack and am very much looking forward to what they will do with a sequel.
