Amazing Spider-Man 2 is not a bad game, but it is far too ambitious for its own good and its new ideas are rushed and awkwardly implemented.Īmazing Spider-Man 2 is built on the same basic framework as its predecessor. It’s the same basic game I remember, but the added features and ideas actually change and detract from the original's beautifully elegant framework. My love for the first game makes the disappointing parts of its sequel all the more of a letdown, because as much as I wanted to love Amazing Spider-Man 2, it just falls short.

Whatever it was, that movie and its corresponding game were a special one-two punch that made this longtime Spidey fanboy very happy. Maybe it was the love I could see that Beenox put into that game, the attention to detail that proved these people were real fans.

Maybe my opinion was colored by my love for the movie (again, more than it deserved) because we were finally free of Sam Raimi, Toby Maguire and their irreverent, cornball take on one of my favorite comic book heroes. It’s still a game that I enjoy replaying from the start. For whatever reason, I could overlook its flaws and I just got into that game hardcore. I loved the first Amazing Spider-Man game when it came out in 2012-possibly more than it deserved. It also explains why the game feels rushed and in many ways somewhat disappointing. To deliver a game of this scale, to both last and current-gen consoles and in under two years, must have been a monumental undertaking. I only say this because I want to be clear, that I understand the pressure that Thomas Wilson and his team at Beenox must have been under when making The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

You’re restricted to the set parameters of the source material, plans can change at a moment’s notice, and the time crunch must be insane. But now that we know she's playing somebody, it still seems most likely a Black Cat has wandering into The Amazing Spider-Man 2's path.Making movie tie-in video games has to be one hell of a difficult job. Of course, she could be playing a random Oscorp employee, and all this confusion is because Black Cat's real name is Felicia Hardy and Felicia is very similar to Felicity. It's very nice to you as an actor in several worlds to go and to experiment." Playing Betty Brant wouldn't exactly be much of an experiment, although a sultry thief wearing a latex body suit probably would be. Also, as Jones told RTL (courtesy of Google translate): "I've never done a superhero movie. In favor of the former, there's been no mention of the Daily Bugle as part of Spidey 2 in any fashion, and you'd think they'd cast J, Jonah Jameson before worrying about Betty Brant. Since Shallene Woodley has already been cast as Mary Jane, there's pretty much only two women left in Peter Parker's life the sexy thief Black Cat and Daily Bugle administrator Betty Brant.


The question is, who is the not-unattractive 30-year-old playing? It's a weird place to let it slip, but since she didn't confirm her role, it's seemingly a low-key enough reveal that it's probably true. British actress Felicity Jones just confirmed she's a part of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 during an interview with the Netherlands news site RTL.
