The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is an open world action-adventure video game based on the Marvel Comics character Spider-Man, and is a sequel to 2012's The Amazing Spider-Man. It was developed by Beenox and published by Activision, who previously developed Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, Spider-Man: Edge of Time, and its recent predecessor, The Amazing Spider-Man. It is loosely based on the 2014 film of the same name.
The game retains its open world gameplay of previous entries in the franchise. The game's free roam area of Manhattan is more expansive, spacious and detailed than that of the previous game's, and most of the story takes place in the open world. In addition to advanced combat and upgrades, there is different types of webbing (example, the player can use different webbings to freeze or blow up something on impact), and web-slinging is similar to that of Spider-Man 2 and its subsequent based games. Unlike the previous game, all versions of the game have free roam, with the exception of the 3DS version, which is a side-scrolling game in the same vein as previous Nintendo DS Spider-Man games.
