Take on the role of a young Peter Parker and discover some new Spider-Man powers and Super Hero responsibilities, in this one player NYC based adventure. Testers found the game easy to learn, but found it to be less fun than past Spider-Man games, with "less to do." For example, "you can jump off the highest building, and not even die." New features include a "Web Rush" mechanic that lets you swing freely from building to building as you look for criminal activity from the likes of Rhino, Iguana, Felicia Hardy, Scorpion, and others. The game story takes place after the events of the upcoming feature film. Developed by Beenox for Xbox 360, PS3, Wii and Nintendo 3DS and by Other Ocean for Nintendo DS. Prices are $60 for the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions, $50 for the Wii version, and $30 for the Nintendo 3DS and DS versions. Rated Teen for all platforms except Nintendo DS, which is rated E10+.
