The Amazing Retailer Exclusive Pre-Order Bonuses

The Amazing Retailer Exclusive Pre-Order Bonuses

None

Spider-Man is getting some help in his latest adventure. Rather, you, the player, will be getting some variety thanks to exclusive pre-order bonuses from both GameStop and Amazon for The Amazing Spider-Man, based on the upcoming movie relaunch of the same name.

GameStop pre-orderees will receive “The Rhino Challenge.” Tired of swinging daintily around the city on spindly webs? Want to control someone with real power, unstoppable as he stomps through the streets of New York in a super-powered exo-skeleton that makes him look like a bipedal rhinoceros? In this pre-order DLC, you’ll take control of Spider-Man foe The Rhino, smashing everything in your path.



Or maybe you have a wealth of respect and affection for a certain octogenarian (he’s not 90 until the end of the year, true believers), in which case Amazon’s pre-order bonus is for you. That’s right, you’ll play as Stan “the Man” Lee as he “borrows” Spider-Man’s powers and goes on a special mission to recover pages of a script scattered around Manhattan.

Retailer exclusive pre-order bonuses are annoying, yes, and doubly so when they’re as good as these are. But they really are good, and it’s refreshing to see so much creativity and love going into a licensed property. Hopefully the end product is better for it, no?
