I have good news for all Spider-Man video game fans. Based on the trailers that debuted for the Amazing Spider-Man movie tie-in game this weekend, it looks like everyone’s Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man is going back to his sandbox, open world web-swinging style! The past two Spidey games, Shattered Dimensions and Edge of Time, back-tracked to more focused, straight-forward, confined swinging. The last game, which I didn’t play, apparently even stuck players indoors. Lame!

Everybody knows that the best Spider-Man video game ever was Spider-Man 2, the game that introduced the idea of an open world Manhattan and a Spider-Man who could web-swing from building to building, just like the real Spidey. And that was also a movie tie-in game, so there’s a lot of hope for this game – if not the movie as well.

Which part of Spider-Man's origin is 'untold'?

Too bad it looks like he’s focusing on fighting giant robots for some reason.

First, a teaser trailer with some game move:

And then there was a longer, story-based trailer:

Looking damn good!
