The idea of using different Spidey suits for different effects to the character works very well. Most side missions have just enough variation to them that it doesn't become a problem. It's not an amazing or groundbreaking mechanic by itself, yet considering it rises and falls as quickly as it does, it does make for a game that moves at a breakneck pace, regardless of doing the same 5 side missions over and over. If you neglect these side missions, then the meter will start to fall into the "menace" segment, and you'll be chased by officials hired by Oscorp to take out vigilantes, I.E., Spider-Man. Given your time in Manhattan, you're given side missions to partake in to add to your "hero" meter. The pace of the game and the natural progression of missions works well, all considered. While added animations to this mechanic would have helped immensely, it's still greatly appreciated that it's there, and that the regenerating health system has been axed. However, this time around there's no button to press to simply escape everything trying to kill you, and this is a replaced with a well implemented system of Spider-Man using his (or the player's) own wits to escape and "web up" his wounds. The combat and stealth mechanics are nearly the same as they were in the previous game, which is serviceable and works well. The added Peter Parker sections, while nothing groundbreaking, do help break up the pace, and give fans what they've wanted in a Spider-Man game for a long time now more focus on Parker himself. The game ditches the concept of nearly every enemy being a robot, and clearly, this is for the best.
It far surpasses its predecessor by building on its mechanics, adding more varied side missions, having a more coherent, almost "classic" Spider-Man narrative. It's not a perfect game, by any means, but as a Spider-Man game, it succeeds in nearly every respect. It's not a perfect game, by any means, but as a The Amazing Spider-Man 2 has to be one of the most underrated video games of this year.
