What is the main difference between this version and the console? Does the Vita port hold up? It is with a big sigh that I must say the Vita version is kind of a mess. I knew there would have to be some cutbacks due to the downsizing of the game, that’s just the nature to handheld ports, but while it comes off very impressive that all of the console content is present on the Vita version, the cost of getting it to work was great.
I thought the console game was great and would love to play that anywhere. When I heard that this game was coming to Vita I was legitimately excited. Since that release, I’ve been anxious to see what was next in store for Spider-Man, and while the predictable Amazing Spider-Man 2 movie game was announced, we got our next installment in the form of a Vita port of the first Amazing Spider-Man game. It was cinematic, had a decent sequel-like story to the movie, and offered some of the best combat in a Spider-Man game that felt like it was mirroring the Batman games. Last year Beenox released The Amazing Spider-Man on consoles and PC as a movie tie in game, which I thoroughly enjoyed, and felt like it was one of the better Spider-Man games this generation.
