8. Amazing Spider-Man: The Characters

The central concept of focusing around animal human hybrid animals gives us a few normally unseen villains.

Sure we get old standbys like Scorpion, Black Cat, and Rhino, but also some b-listers like Lizard and Smythe. And we get total forgotten ones like Vermin and Iguana. And one new character, Nattie.

Admittedly, this means that some of these characters are very different from their comic book counterparts. Scorpion and Rhino are far more bestial than technology based and all of the villains have their characters reduced to just being snarling animals. So while it’s cool to see a pretty comics-accurate Vermin in a video game, every body else is a lot more boring than normal.

Also Lizard has to use the terrible design from the live action movie. Which is disappointing. The supporting cast is pretty good though. Gwen is really fun and a good person for Peter to talk to and communicate with. Also as I mentioned, the Daily Bugle sidequests give us “cameos” from some other Spidey foes.
