Spider-Man finds himself entangled in more web-slinging action on the 3DS with a storyline that takes place after the events chronicled in 2012's feature film. Unlike the previous game, Spider-Man: Edge of Time, The Amazing Spider-Man has the superhero freely navigating New York City. Players will swing across the streets, skyscrapers, and landmarks of the Big Apple in addition to exploring interior locations and battling an assortment of villains. The action is viewed from a third-person perspective, with players able to use a combination of webbing and melee combat moves to neutralize street thugs, weaponized robots designed by Oscorp Industries, and nemeses such as Rhino.
