And the Rhino, who actually appeared in the previous game, is completely absent. The film’s villains, Electro and the Green Goblin, appear less than Kraven or the Kingpin. Gwen Stacy, who played an integral role in the previous game and film, doesn’t appear once. It also shows very early on that this is going to be quite different from the film it’s based upon. While many fans complained that the most recent film ignored this part of Spider-Man’s story, it’s an interesting mission statement to have his death placed so prominently at the start of the game. It’s a jarring and effective way to start the game. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 starts off by recreating the death of Uncle Ben from the previous film. There was a lot that I enjoyed during my time with the title, but calling it a movie tie-in seems like a bit of a stretch. While I was playing The Amazing Spider-Man 2 for this review, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of déjà vu. Sure, Ivan Ooze showed up for the final battle, and Ninja Megazord made a cameo, but the majority of the title featured enemies from the television show. It occurred to me that it didn’t seem to have much at all to do with the movie it was supposed to be based on. While I liked the game, there was something odd about it. For my tenth birthday, I received Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers: The Movie for Super Nintendo.
