The Amazing Spider-Man
Activision has announced two pre-order exclusives for their upcoming game The Amazing Spider-Man, coming June 26th to the Xbox 360 and PS3.
Gamers who pre-order the game from GameStop will get to check out The Rhino Challenge. In this challenge, players will take control of the massive, genetically engineered Rhino and go on a rampage around Manhatten, causing destruction everywhere you go and destroying whatever gets in your way in a timed event.
Those who pre-order from Amazon.com will get a new character: Stan Lee himself. Yes, players can take on the role of Stan Lee in his own special mission across Manhatten as he borrows the abilities of Spider-Man to collect pages of his latest script. Gotta be honest, if I decide to get this game, this would be where I'd pre-order it from. I mean you could go to GameStop and play as Rhino, but come on...it's Stan frickin' Lee!
