One moment saw one of the Flame Raptors (hell yeah) barrel in to swipe me with its tail only to send all the enemies currently attacking me scattering across the arena, most of which landed in a few pieces. When there are a ton of foes in a skirmish it’s not unusual to see parts flying all over the shop, especially as friendly fire is very much on. Enemies split in two at the exact point we hit them, while it’s also possible to chop off arms to prevent them from using their weapons, or legs meaning they have to hop or crawl around after us. It’s tricky to hit then, but when we do we’re treated to some lovely looking voxel-based physical destruction. It pays to choose wisely but when we lose all of our clones we must start the process over from scratch, so it’s also good to experiment to see what works best. These upgrade points can also be spent on improving our weapons, buying new ones, or buffing us up with armour, deflective skills and more. We’re as fragile as the enemy and so one good swipe at us will see a life lost, which spells game over if we haven’t built a reserve of clones using the upgrades points awarded for clearing rounds. Most often I just charged in swinging and hoping for the best. I did find it a bit tricky to really get much accuracy going on mind. Get a good connection and it’s a one hit kill affair, though some foes can withstand multiple weaker hits while others such as the Spider Bot 5000 need their legs chopping down before we get to the exposed main body. A lot of the enemies will have shields or armour to consider, so in conjunction with jumping and dashing we need to angle the correct attack to hit them. Pulling the trigger lets us attack and holding a direction on the movement stick dictates whether we hit vertically or horizontally. The combat is a bit tricky to get to grips with, but still quite fun in the heat of the moment. Upon entering the arena we must slash and swipe at various types of enemies robots in order to clear the stage before descending into the waiting area to apply an upgrade between each round. Predominantly melee focused with occasional long range options, we play as a randomly generated drone that is a clone of a human entering the danger zone (obviously). What I will regale you with though is how the games play. I won’t spoilt any of the story here, but suffice to say we get more than we bargained for going in. Doborog through a couple of curve balls at us, and turn what could have otherwise been said short lived experience into something a little more interesting. While that’s true to an extent, I would highly recommend at least checking out the campaign for the 3 or so hours it takes to beat. From my brief time with the demo a few months ago I figured it would be a fun, but short lived, arcade style experience. The name smacks of 60’s-era B-movies, and the main story mode does a pretty good job of providing an equally out there tale to follow. Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is still slated for sometime this fall.Clone Drone in the Danger Zone is an interesting title – both literally and in regards to the game itself. Sounds like there will be a lot to contend with leading up to Insomniac’s new Spider-venture. What is Pete up to now that there are two Spider-Men in the city? How is Miles doing in school? And how is MJ’s journalism career going?” But we kept coming back to the same core premise-What if Peter, Miles, and MJ had to team up against a new Super Villain whose powers they didn’t understand? Additionally, we wanted to make sure that we could get a peek into what this heroic trio has been doing since the events of Marvel’s Spider-Man and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales. “When we initially sat down with the team at Marvel, we explored a few different ideas about what kinds of stories we could tell in a prequel comic. Here’s an excerpt from today’s PlayStation blog, talking about what to expect: Part of this year’s comic roll-out is a new prequel comic for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. Saturday, May 6 is Free Comic Book Day, a pretty rad event where lots of publishers put out free issues of various comics. If you want a peek at what is new in the world of Spider-Man, and what’s in store for the future, then this coming Saturday would be a good time to head to your local comic shop.
