I had many hours of fun with Shattered Dimensions (currently over thirty) so when this follow up came out I just had to get it. While it was fun it also had some errors.
Story:
The story is that a Bad Future occurs when Peter Parker (Amazing Spider-Man) dies so Miguel O'Hara (Spider-Man 2099) tries to stop it from happening. They have to deal with Walker Sloan and a Brain Washed And Crazy Anti-Venom. However someone else also has a nefarious use for the time traveling device in mind. The story is interesting and has some fun twists. My only gripe with it is that Black Cat feels like she serves no purpose. It feels like the developers needed an Act 2 boss so they just told the writer (Peter David) to put her in the game.
Gameplay:
Here comes my major complaints with the game. Fare warning fellow tropers alot of this will sound like They Changed It Now It Sucks. While combat is still fun both Spider-Men feel a little to similar in how they play. 2099's new ability accelerated decoy feels less useful them the one he had in Shattered Dimension which slowed down time. It feels put in so that the freefall segments would be more difficult. The challenge system has become very annoying in this game. You will get gold, silver, or bronze depending on how you did. Most challenges are repetitive in that it's always about doing something in a certain amount of time or within a certain amount of hits. Combo's are more difficult because if you get hit once it resets making multiple challenges into That One Sidequest. Also now for upgrades to your health and stamina need to collect golden spiders which may be annoying for certain players. To get new costume's you need atleast silver in a chapter. You will be doing the same challenge many times just for one costume. In the end this is where most of my complaints with the game are and it just feels like they tried to fix something that wasn't broke.
Graphics/Sound:
The game has the visual style of 2099 from Shattered Dimensions. It looks good and makes great use of the contrast between orange and blue. Everything sound good in this game. The voice acting is good with Christopher Daniel Barnes and Josh Keaton as 2099 and Amazing respectively. All the other voice actors do their job well.
Overall:
While the story, graphics, and sound are all good the gameplay can just be annoying at times.
Not bad, just a step down from Shattered Dimensions.
