So Igns review leaked but only in video format, so I decided to just make a review thread for the game in general!
EDIT: Here is a pretty good round up of the game from somebody who got their hands on it early. Pretty excited for tomorrow! Amazon better move their asses!
IGN: 7/10
EGM: 8/10
Gamespot: 7.5/10
G4: 4/5
Cheat Code Central: 4/5
Marvel Tv 87/100 (I don't take this very seriously but I think the review does have some good info, anyway)
From the IGN review it sounds like a good (or to me great) spiderman game and the positives outweigh the negatives. Pretty excited to get my hands on it honestly.

You know, I really want to play the game. That being said it REALLY puts me off when a company goes out of its way to keep reviews off the net until the game is released.
Especially since IGN's review isn't going up until 10am Pacific / 1pm Eastern according to Greg Miller on Twitter.

God, it must suck to be you
Anyway, glad reviews are fairly positive.
I've actually seen some really good scores from places I'm not familiar from ( which is by I haven't added them. But overall the game is lookin to be pretty awesome@Toads said:

I'm curious to see how this one turns out.
Although, I feel like nothing can top the PS1 Spiderman game that came out back in 2000.

I love how as they say the game spoils parts of the movie and to beware they SHOW a fucking spoiler.
Assholes.......
I always thought it was kind of weird that they marketed the game as taking place "after" the events of the movie.
It's sort of like, er, I guess Spider-Man wins at the end of the movie, then?

Last time a Spiderman game got me excited it was the ultimate spiderman for the ps2, I really loved that game when it came out, I cleared the map of every single boring sidequest and everything there was to be done. Hope this one is any good, I'm due for some more web swinging
Ultimate Spider-man was pretty great. It helped that it was based on the comics and actually had a good story, unlike the Spider-man 2 game, which was pretty horrible when you weren't just swinging around. I really wish they'd do a sequel to that. Isn't their a cartoon series they could base it off now?

Kind of off topic, but I'd love another Batman game that takes place in the Batman Forever. If it had an open world similar to Arkham City I'd but it in a heart beat.

The Spectacular Spider-Man that got canned a few years ago was really great. A game based off it would be awesome. The new Ultimate Spider-Man show that's not based off the actual Ultimate Spider-man isn't so great
@BormahAl: Lego Batman might be what you're looking for, if you don't mind the Lego thing.
It's pretty much guaranteed we'll get an open world Lego Avengers/Spider-man game at some point too.
As am I. In fact my hype for this game came out of no where. I just saw the e3 video and had flashbacks of spidey 2 and knew I had to get itI'm really excited for this, god I hope its awesome.

It really puts me off when a person is so paranoid that he thinks it's some sort of conspiracy to hide the score when the company has an embargo on game reviews. They put the embargo in place to get on the front page of the site on release day (AKA free advertising). And when people see it they hopefully say "OH SHIT I CAN GET THAT NOW". Otherwise you see it then a day or so goes by and you've moved on. Not to mention how god damn hard it is to find anything on IGN once it's off the front page.

Maybe I should have been more specific. I want a Batman Beyond game with they same gameplay style as Arkham City.

I'm not sure any superhero game has topped the amount of fun I've had with that one yet. That game kicked ass!
