I am not liking the game too much. I got the collectors edition and have not unlocked New Goblin yet, but a review on IGN said he feels tacked on and only has race missions.

I am a big Spidy fan and was looking forward to this game, but it has a been there done that feeling if you have played Spiderman 2 or Ultimate Spiderman.

I had my wife pick it up for me yesterday was I was working, and when I got home, I went right to see the movie at an IMAX about 90 minutes from here...

I really enjoyed the movie, but got home last night and was too tired to play...

Put about two hours onto the game as of right now and so far, I am enjoying it.

The graphics are pretty hit and miss for the most part. There is some minor framerate issues and there is a horrible amount of pop-in. However, everything has a pretty cool shine to it giving it a nice comic book look, and when you are standing up on top of a high rise checking out the city it does look pretty cool. The water effects are pretty decent as well. Overall visually, I wouldn't say it is the best looking game on any of these next generation consoles, but it certainly shows enough off to prove that it could not have been accomplised last generation.

I think the gameplay is really where most reviewers are getting pissed off. Some of the boss fights are pretty repetitive and it pretty much is a button masher for the most part. As you use more and more of a certain skill, you gain new moves and the like, but overall it pretty much is all filler. All you need to really do to win a fight is keep mashing the punch button. Most of the missions I have played have been pretty cool though, and I love doing all of the activities like sky diving and racing.

Overall if you have the money to spend it is worth the purchase if you are a spiderman fan.

I unlocked him this morning. He does feel a little tacked on. Steering is sixaxis only, and it takes some getting used to. Hopefully, it will get easier over time like the webswinging.

For missions, yes, only races, but the random crime events pop up for him as well. You can do those, but its awkward, as you cant really 'land'. Even turning around to face someone new consists of using the motion controls. But if you time a combo properly, you can take out thugs by barely using the motion controls.

I don't think you can beat the Goblin boss by just pushing the punch button.

Just finished the first fight with Sandman (also first time you get the black suit in the game). It was REALLY fun. Like, God of War style fun. The mix of button mashing fighting along with timed button push sequences, was all great. Possibly the fact that you seem to be doing more damage with the black suit made it cooler too, but overall, the scripted stuff was hardcore, and the fight was the best in the game so far.

Another thing I realized about this game: I love the story/stories. All of them are pretty damn enjoyable. The NPCs arent too dull and lifeless. A lot of them actually have personality. The 'The Apocalypse" guy you fight towards the beginning was cool. Loving both the Lizard and Scorpion stories, and Scorpion's design is freakin rad. It threw me off a bit in the commercials when I first saw it, but now I love it.

SUX is not the right word at all. I think the proper phrase is too dang difficult to actually enjoy.

I picked mine up on the 5th after seeing the movie. I like the game but it can be difficult to control him at times. I recall the first game (ps2) taking awhile to get used to as well. So far though I like the "ultimate spider-man" one the most.

Awesome. I've got a few hours in. How long did it take you to get the black suit? Is there a specific mission path I have to take? I've finished the first lizard missions. Not looking for specific info as far as how to fight bosses, maybe if you could let me in on what mission paths to follow to get to black suit?
