In a post on the Official PlayStation Blog, Stan Lee talked about the new Amazing Spider-Man 2 video game. In the post, Lee highlights how much he appreciates Beenox putting a spotlight on Peter Parker, and not just Spider-Man.

I'm most excited about Peter Parker himself being in the game and having an important part to play. I'll admit a lot of that is because I get to act opposite him… but there's more to it than that! When I first pitched the idea of a teenage superhero who has to deal with problems in his personal life, people told me I was crazy. Times have changed since then, but Spider-Man has always been who he is because of the person beneath the mask, and I appreciate that the developers recognized that you can't tell a proper story with half a character.

The post was accompanied by a video in which Lee talks about the game and it's connection the film it is based on. In The Amazing Spider-Man 2 videogame, what started out as the search for a killer very quickly becomes something so much more. In a unique story set alongside the events of the second film, Spider-Man discovers he's not the only one tracking down Manhattan's criminals. The underworld has been turned upside down with a one-man campaign of violence and murder that has captured the city in an iron grip of fear. Villains from the film as well as fan-favorite, classic Marvel characters are woven together in a twisted web of adrenaline-fueled, free-roaming, web-slinging action that puts players on a collision course with an evil far beyond Spider-Man's reckoning. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 video game is available now.
