[Update] Our IAP sense is tingling: The Amazing Spider-Man 2 now out for iOS and Android
Parker? Posing.
There are signs in the air that summer's almost upon us - the weather's warmer, the birds are singing, and there's a new Spider-Man movie in theaters.
To celebrate the occasion - if not the season - Gameloft's released a new movie tie-in game based on the blockbuster he Amazing Spider-Man 2.
Out now for iOS and Android, this beefy 689MB web-slinger features an original story that expands on the plot of the pre-summer blockbuster and introduces characters like Black Cat and Screwball along with favourite villains like Venom, Electro, and Kraven the Hunter.
Similar to the Silver Award-winning prequel, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 features an open world mock-up of Manhattan for you to websling your way around - with detailed areas like Times Square and Central Park ready to explore.
The only potential downside is the asking price - $4.99 / £2.99 - and the fact that it offers in-app purchases ranging from consumables to the ever-popular "Unlock all suits" feature for $24.99 / £17.49.
Still, the combo-based combat and graphics in general are both looking pretty slick - so we could definitely see Marvel fans being tempted by this one.
