Test Chamber – The Amazing Spider-Man

Our third Test Chamber episode of the week takes a look at The Amazing Spider-Man, which should actually be called The Amazing Spider-Man 2, as it is a direct continuation to The Amazing Spider-Man film. Be warned, our brief look at the beginning of this game will ruin the movie for you. Why Sony, Beenox, and Activision thought it would be a good idea to release a sequel to the movie before the movie even hits theaters is beyond me. If you don't care about the film, stick around for the entire episode. This is a much different Spider-Man game than we've seen before. As Game Informer's Ben Reeves points out, some of the new ideas work, while others are not backed by enough variety to deliver excitement.

And if you think this is it for Test Chamber this week, brace yourself: We'll be back with another episode tomorrow! Also, our Super Replay recording is moving along ahead of schedule.

  • Looks like an enjoyably good time, especially for a quick 2 bucks at redbox!
  • It's worth mentioning that our standards of greatness in a game have risen exponentially this generation - if you loved the Spidey games of yore, this game seems like a much improved version, so don't balk at the review score and give it a go if this is your thing.
  • I rented the game from Redbox Im liking it so far.
  • I can't wait for the next Super Replay!
  • Ben and Reiner are an awesome combo.

  • Looks like the best spider-man game in a long time.

  • LOL, "Is this a beggening of a Resident Evil Movie???..." ugh.... LOL!!!

  • lol.. normally the reviews are great... but this Spiderman game is awesome

  • So many videos to watch. Love it.

  • 6.75 is an F where I come from.

  • I might rent this, then if I like it, purchase it when I have enough money.
  • None of the games released this week have gotten a very good score. Unless you count the Quantum Conondrum one good.
  • This game sounded good but after GI's review I wanted to see it for myself. I'm glad they did a Test Chamber for it.

  • Wow, two Test Chamber's in one day. Amazing.

  • AAAAAHHHHH!! im so tempted to watch but ive been looking forward to the movie for a while! these are the big decisions...

  • At least it's colorful. That boss battle, while a big fight, doesn't seem all that awe inspiring. Reminds me of fighting the Giants in Castlevania Lords of Shadow, but... not as good.



    Edit:

    I watched this again, because I couldn't help but get a nagging sensation that the game looks mesmerizingly familiar, then I realized, it's [PROTOTYPE].
  • wow reiner 2 test chambers in 1 day? i'm impressed. keep em comin dude these r awsome

  • Cool Test Chamber, probably won't pick this up anytime soon, as I've still yet to beat Spider Man Shattered Dimensions. Thanks again for the Game Informin!

  • Swinging on the sky? MASSIVE FAIL! did they learn nothing from the old games?
  • Super Replay? AHEAD OF SCHEDULE!?!?!? MY BODY IS READY.
