10 Terrible Levels In Awesome Recent Video Games
10. The MJ/Miles Stealth Levels - Marvel's Spider-Man
Though Insomniac's Spider-Man is unquestionably one of the greatest superhero video games ever made, it also comes with irritating baggage by way of the periodic missions where control of Spidey is wrestled away and you're forced instead to play as either Mary Jane Watson or Miles Morales.
In addition to having no superpowers to work with, these missions are also stealth-centric, and while hardly particularly difficult, simply kill the game's otherwise propulsive momentum dead.
Even taken on its own terms, the stealth gameplay isn't particularly well-executed or basically fun - the A.I. is terrible and the insta-fail aspect is maddening.
While perhaps a few puzzles or detective-style sequences might've made for fun diversions away from all the web-slinging, these missions clearly should've been optional side content, because all they did was grind the main story to a tiresome halt.
Thankfully Insomniac listened to the vocal complaints from fans and didn't bother including any shoehorned stealth missions in the recent, superior spin-off Spider-Man: Miles Morales.
