What The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is an adventure game developed by Beenox and released in 2014. It was published by Activision. It is available on PlayStation 4, Wii U, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on Goliath Engine.

The premise, in the publisher's words

A year after the death of his Uncle Ben, Peter Parker continues to fight crime in New York City as Spider-Man, still searching for the criminal who got away. When that trail is cut short by a serial killer who targets other criminals, Spider-Man sets out to bring the so-called Carnage Killer to justice. His pursuit draws him into a citywide turf war among rival gangs and the rise of a privatized enforcement group backed by powerful business interests. Along the way Spider-Man crosses paths with figures such as an idolizing engineer, a seasoned hunter who offers to mentor him, and his ailing friend Harry Osborn, each of whom complicates his fight to protect the city.
