("No drooling on the suit, please!") But eventually, the voice samples repeat, and playing paramedic loses some of its appeal. Other tasks-rescuing sickly citizens and rushing them to a nearby makeshift hospital-are more enjoyable, in part because of the banter between Spider-Man and his poor passengers. It isn't very challenging or fun, and in fact, on medium (Hero) difficulty, The Amazing Spider-Man is rarely challenging. One minigame has you hovering a circle over Spidey as he flies through the air automatically you're meant to keep him in view of the video camera that follows him. With a couple of exceptions, most of these tasks don't evolve in any way, and they become stale if you focus on them for too long. Out in Manhattan, most tasks are optional and involve picking up asylum escapees and returning them to their institution, beating up muggers, and so forth. But there's more to the game than webswinging, of course: most of the story-based missions take you off the streets and send you into the sewers and other such interiors. These signs are enough to have you scanning the screen, searching for the elusive paper. Come near a page, and you hear and see its telltale glimmer, and note the button prompt inviting you to fling toward it. They are simple but nice rewards for the act of locomotion. Hundreds of collectible comic pages twinkle on rooftops and flutter in the air. Out here in the concrete wilds, The Amazing Spider-Man is at its best, simply because moving around is so much fun. When surrounded by stately superstructures, you rise toward the heavens, from where you can look upon the entire city and admire its vibrancy. When you swish through a park that isn't near tall buildings, you stay near the ground, practically brushing the grass underneath you. Yet the game does a great job of providing the illusion that the laws of physics still vaguely apply. Expectedly, you don't necessarily see the webbing attach to anything nearby, which is fine: the joyous locomotion is all in the name of fun. By holding down a single trigger, you propel webbing from your wrists, swinging in whichever direction you choose. It's a joy when The Amazing Spider-Man thrusts you into this wide-open world.
