The Amazing Spider-Man was originally released for the PS3 on June 29th 2012. The game takes place after the events of the movie and features a new, original story. It mixes all-out, freeform brawls and stealth-based, stalk-and-strike challenges with a fast-paced momentum that puts Spidey front and center in the action.

The PS Vita release of The Amazing Spider-Man maintains the same spirit as the console edition while adding new energy through Vita’s special features. Tying it all together is the Web Rush system, slowing down time in a heartbeat and opening up a variety of superpowered combat and movement actions on-the-fly. Soaring above New York, webbing up thugs or somersaulting clear of an incoming attack feels even more natural now thanks to the responsive, touchscreen controls Vita brings to Web Rush, allowing for quick and precise decisions with the tap of a finger

Peter Parker’s smartphone plays an integral part in how you interact with the city around you, and PS Vita’s unique form reinforces these elements. The Vita can be used just like a real smartphone’s map app. You can pinch-and-zoom, drag around the map and set waypoints. PS Vita’s gyroscopic functionality also lets you snap front-page photos by aiming the device like an actual camera, zooming in and out with a simple touch.

If you missed out on the previous release then the PS Vita version is a leap in the right direction. The Amazing Spider-Man comes out November 19th in North America for $39.99 and will be released later this year in Europe.
