AU New Releases: The Amazing Spider-Man 2 swings onto multiple consoles

Peter Parker swings onto multiple platforms this week with the Australian retail release of The Amazing Spider-Man 2, the game based on the movie of the same name.

It serves as the sequel to 2012's The Amazing Spider-Man, marks the first time Spider-Man has made his way onto the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 consoles.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 was met with lukewarm reception in GameSpot's review. The game was praised for being an "enjoyable representation of Spider-Man" but was let down by tedious side missions, simple combat, and imprecise movement. For more details, check out our full review.
