The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is a 2014 action-adventure video game[1][2] based on the Marvel Comics character Spider-Man and the 2014 film of the same name. Developed by Beenox, it is the sequel to 2012's The Amazing Spider-Man, itself based on the 2012 film of the same name. and takes place within the same continuity, different from that of the films. The game's plot expands upon that of the film by including additional characters and elements from the Spider-Man comic books and other aspects of the Marvel Universe.

The game was released on April 29 in North America and May 2 in Europe for the Microsoft Windows, Nintendo 3DS, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Wii U, and Xbox 360 platforms, to generally mixed reviews, with criticism particularly aimed at the plot, writing, repetitive combat and the Hero-Menace morality system. The Xbox One version was released alongside the other platforms digitally while the release of physical copies was delayed by two weeks.[3] Gameloft also released a mobile version on April 17 for iOS and Android devices as a paid game. The game was also localized in Japan by Square Enix as a Sony-exclusive title.[4]
