Four Amazing Spider-Man DLC Packs Coming To PSN Tomorrow
Beenox producer Stephane Gravel has announced that four DLC packs for The Amazing Spider-Man are coming to PSN on September 25, and one of them is the greatest DLC pack ever created.
The first of the new DLC packs is called The Lizard Rampage Pack, and gives players control of The Lizard as he attempts to thwart Oscorp's plan to release a virus in Manhattan. The Lizard can attack foes with his tail and claws during combat, which should provide a nice change of pace for web-slinging veterans. The Lizard Rampage Pack also contains an alternate Vigilante Spider-Man costume for Spidey, as seen in The Amazing Spider-Man movie.
The Oscorp Search & Destroy Pack is the second DLC offering, and allows you to play two arcade-style minigames on your in-game smartphone while investigating crime in Manhattan. The games are based on Snake and Space Invaders, but are tied to Spider-Man lore via some nonsense about Oscorp and Gwen – you can read the full explanation in Gravel's post.
The Rino Challenge Pack was originally a pre-order bonus, but will be available to everyone tomorrow. It allows you to use Rhino's powers to destroy cars and cause as much mayhem as possible within a given time limit; players can compete against their friends via the DLC's online leaderboards.
Now forget everything I told you, because I saved the best DLC pack for last. It's the Stan Lee Adventure Pack, another former pre-order exclusive that puts you in the shoes of Stan Lee. But with Spider-Man powers. Basically, you swing around Manhattan collecting pages of his script, while the actual Stan Lee offers up lame jokes and puns. As far as I'm concerned, this should be a DLC option for every game.
Beenox says that each DLC pack will be between $3 and $4, but you can buy all four for $10. Relax, Beenox: You had me at Stan Lee.
