‘Marvel’s Spider-Man’ game nails the experience of being the hero

For anyone who has ever dreamed of swinging through New York City in red-and-white spandex, Marvel’s Spider-Man is here to fulfill that fantasy.

Insomniac Games, known for the Spyro the Dragon and Ratchet & Clank franchises, showed off its latest title to a small group of journalists and gaming insiders in July, allowing hands-on access to the first two hours of the game’s main storyline and free reign of the open world of a Marvel-ized New York City.
