Spider-Man 2

In this game, you are Spider Man. You deal with super villain threats as Spider Man, and personal relationships as Peter Parker. I think the best part of this game is the gameplay. You can explore the enormous New York map while web-slinging, beat up thugs with upgradeable combo attacks, and climb up (and jump off of) buildings. The web-slinging has been improved since the last game, so now you can web faster, and on buildings instead of thin air. The storyline follows the movie decently, and throws in a few extra super-villains and the black cat to enhance the experience.

As fun as the experience is, it's not without fault. Most of the characters have poorly animated faces, with the exception of Spider Man and Doctor Octopus. The biggest issue with this game is the lack of variety in side missions. This is especially a problem once you beat the game, because from there, the game will have you playing the same (about 8) side missions over and over. despite it's issues, Spider Man 2 is a fun and rewarding experience that texts your skill as a gamer.

I never won this game, but I got through enough of it to review. Let me just say that final fight was super hard and was really ticking me off so instead of going into a Hulk like rage and smashing the television screen I just gave up. Not really my style, but it was just an incredibly hard ending sequence. As for the rest of the game it is a mixed bag, but for the most part it is good as there is a nice couple of story lines in it featuring The Shocker and Mysterio. In fact, I think I enjoyed those two stories more than the one that was based on the movie. I was very disappointed with the fights with Dr. Octopus as they just were awful. I was expecting some really cool fights with the tentacles going everywhere, but the couple of fights there were with him were just him walking on the ceiling. The fighting was okay at times, but strength seems to have been taken out of Spidey's repertoire. This happened in the next game as well, why they never want to make Spider-man super strong and just make him agile and swing around the city. However, that is the high point of this game, the web slinging is simply great fun. In fact I could just do that for an hour at a time. During your web swinging you also have to save people and stop random crimes, this too is a weak point as they just did not add enough variety to the random crimes. Still, this game has its moments like the final fight with Mysterio as that one was not hard but humorous and the voice over work by Bruce Campbell. I just wish they would make a Spider-man game that includes his strength, great web swinging and a lot of super villains.

Spider Man 2 the game is the virtual monostat of the film you get everything you got in the movie plus more when I say more I mean more villains more characters more action and more freedom. Villains include Doc Ock, Rhino, Mysterio, and Shocker, plus your tribune of criminals at your disposal. Ally's include black cat this time around and she will assist you through most of the shocker missions. Freedom allows you to complete missions from the Daily Bugle to delivering pizza at Peter Parkers day jobs.

I really enjoyed this game to its full extent and you should to. Some of the reasons you should love it is because you can do anything a spider can with breathtaking new moves and amazing combos. You can go anywhere interact with anyone and anything. You can web swing for the first time from street to rooftop across the entire city. But one of the biggest reasons you will love this game is because authentic characters from the movie do voice overs including Tobey Maguire, Alfred Molina, and Kirsten Dunst.

One Game this Game is Similar to is Grand theft auto 3 and vice city primarily because of the fact that you have unlimited freedom. But overall Graphics are at CG and that earns a 10. combat has changed from the first game which earns it a 10 and the characters are unlimited and lively which earns it a 10 again resulting in this game getting a perfect

10 out of 10

I got this game for my Christmas some time ago and I enjoyed it * a lot*! The game consists of you running around New York doing random crimes and of course, story mode which includes Doc Ock and other super-villains. Spider-Man has some really good fighting combos this time around, he can swing faster, the city is larger than ever and the graphics are about decent.

There are a few minor flaws such as no subway entrances or subway tunnels and there sure aren't any pets in the city but it is a great game.

After story mode, you must work your way up to 100%, which is a very long devoting process in which Spider-Man must complete challenges, missions and find all exploration tokens. But this is still a great game and really fun for those who are not allowed to play Grand Theft Auto because of the rating. Go out and buy this game and beat it!

THIS is a Spider-Man game done right.

New York not only looks like New York, but you can explore it to the fullest! The boss-fights are creative and expansive, and there is a lot to do in the city without having to follow the main plot. Not to mention various famous landmarks that ACTUALLY exist in the city; many of which only NYers would recognize. As an added bonus? Bruce Campbell, baby! The best part about the shoddy first game and definitely a great addition to this one. Not to mention you get to hear him well over 200 times! Now, for the bad. The various random missions lack variety. After a while, you just wanna shoot a kid's balloon with a web instead of returning it to him. When the main story is finished, the only thing left to do is finish gathering all the various icons in the game. While many will do this happily to get 100%, it can get dull after a while. The game has replay value, but it's very limited.

Overall, a great movie game and definitely sets the bar for any hero games to follow in the free-roam format.
