I hope that the last DLC is going to be released early December rather than close to xmas as I'll probably wouldn't have time closer to Christmas.

Started the second DLC last night and the Jet-Pack Shield guys can strawberry float off.

Yeah they can be very annoying but I used the anti gravity gadget.

But it turns out that you can dodge them under their shields.

There was 1 Hammerhead base that wanted 20 enemies webbing to a wall and 15 perfect dodges. That was a pain in the arse what with the rocket pack enemies and enemies that fire rockets, I swear there was about 10 at 1 point firing from above at me.

I don't bother with those additional challenges as I have too many tokens and nothing left to buy.

Really it's a missed opportunity to add some new suit skills or even one new gadget.

The final DLC drops on 21st December.

There’s an update today.

And you get the Raimi Spider-Man Suit for free as well, today.

Completed the story last night and was close enough to 100% that I went ahead and got the platinum trophy this evening. Had a damn good time with the game, something about it gave me a bit of PS2 nostalgia. That vintage comic suit looks amazing too.

Some of the better screenshots I took:

I have only just started playing this and so far I am very impressed. The swinging feels amazing although I don't yet have the combat rhythm quite right.

I have been mostly doing my usual Assassins Creed method of opening up all of the viewpoints first and have collected quite a few backpacks along the way.

That Stan Lee cameo

Close to the platinum trophy on this now but I really wish I hadn't ignored all the crime tokens when they were popping up because that's stopping me getting 100% on all districts. Just having to swing around now waiting for them to generate.

Got all suits

Hit L3 to ping the crime activities.

Cool thanks.

Sitting at 95% now. Every other trophy got.

This will be my first platinum

Thanks for that - had exactly the same frustration as Dual!

It certainly does speed up the criminal activities popping up.

One thing to watch out is you may swing into another district and pinging and wonder why you haven't had any for ages then realised that you're already moved into other district.

Looks like fast travelling to an area will generate a crime quickly as well.

Started to feel like a trial of Hercules towards the end but I've done 100% on all districts and got my first platinum trophy.

Really excellent game that I enjoyed throughout. Here's my review in bullet points:

- Difficulty curve ramps up nicely but I felt I was completely OP towards the end
- Would have liked more boss fights. What happened to Silver Sable?
- Swinging around the city never gets boring

10/10 would recommend

DLC.

I would say after playing the first two DLC, I would say better buy the season pass when it’s on sale.

It’s £9.99 now on PS Store, thanks to the January sales. Would recommend that than the full price of £15.99.

And I’ve just played the first mission of DLC3 and I can say that they have ramped up the difficulty.

Loving this so far. So many collectibles though, at least it doesn't do the UBIsoft thing of starting the game with a million items on the map.

Spider-Man was voted GotY by Japanese devs, in Famitsu magazine.
