Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales

6/10

The joys of web swinging are as vivid as ever in this lightweight side-story featuring the other Spider-Man. Traversing Manhattan is still exhilarating and Insomniac knows never to keep us from it for too long. Despite struggling with many other areas of the game I was so compelled by tarzan'ing about the place that I stuck with it, completing all manner of laborious collection quests and trying to perfect my stunt score. The game, much like the previous title, simulates the Spider-Man experience with such technical flare that it's worth a go on that basis alone.

Where it takes a massive turd, however, is in its narrative and plot. The characters are blandly conceived and their dialogue varies from mind-numbingly facile to unbearably cringe. The plot never takes the time it needs to build tension, or affection, or motivation, and the wild behaviour of the cast often feels irrational or conveniently belligerent. Were this DLC we'd feel more generosity to its hasty (sloppy) approach but as a full game (albeit a slight one) it really fails to tell a compelling story or make any of its characters interesting. The Ulimate comic series and Into the Spider-Verse demonstrate Miles Morales has loads to offer as a character but this game does little (beyond its technical achievements) to contribute to that legacy.

I hate the implication that the Spider-Man in our universe is the goddamn popsicle

Something REALLY interesting about this scene

At the beginning of the scene Miles confronts Gwen about the 'small elite strike-team' comment.

Gwen lies and plays it off, saying that most of them are part-time anyway.

IMMEDIATELY after that in the next line dialogue, Hobie confronts Gwen and asks her 'Gwendy, how much have you told him about his place in all this? - Maybe not enough.'

Hobie is expressioning disappointment towards Gwen. He doesn't approve of her lying to Miles, knowing what's gonna happen to him. He doesn't agree with them keeping him in the dark - which is why later in the scene he says

'I haven't gotten a Scooby Doo, mate. But that's what they want.'

He's warning Miles that they're keeping in him the dark, on purpose.

ONCE AGAIN Hobie showing foward thinking and outwardly disapproving of the obviously unfair treatment that Miles is given. He's not angry at Gwen, but he's willing to tell her straight up that she's not doing or telling Miles enough to protect him.

Miles deserved to know Miguel's motives BEFORE meeting him. That's why he pointed it out then.

He's ALWAYS looking out for Miles
