Spider-Man PS4 Review: A Little Amazing, But Not Spectacular
Insomniac Games' Spider-Man PS4 arguably has the best Spider-Man/Peter Park story ever told in any medium, but everything else is rather ordinary.
Marvel's Spider-Man
Insomniac Games presents Marvel's Spider-Man, the first major unique Marvel superhero entry from the Infamous/Sly Cooper developer. Players take on the role of Peter Parker, a brand-new unique storyline as he lives in New York City. This Peter has been Spider-Man for several years so players will be playing a non-origin story for the Web-Crawler. Here, Peter works closely under the tutelage of Dr. Otto Octavius as they develop life-changing bionic limbs for disabled persons. Peter will battle familiar foes and partner with new and old friends to stop a new gang led by the mysterious Mr. Negative before it's too late.
