It doesn't matter that the second Spider-Man doesn't really move the gameplay forward and offers, with a few variations, just another helping of what worked in the previous two games. But in this case, we're really talking about excellence, so any experimentation and novelty could lead to disappointment. [Issue#331]
Full of emotional highs that will make you get out of
your chair and cheer at the screen in a way that few games have managed
to achieve in recent memory, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 represents Insomniac
Games operating at the apex of its considerable powers. Spectacular and
amazing, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is a superior, spectacle stuffed action
adventure that provides players with the ultimate superhero fantasy.
Full of surprising heart and delicate moments that balance beautifully
with the sort of blockbuster superhero bombast that its developer has
refined to a fine art, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is a toweringly polished,
unparalleled masterwork that redefines the superhero video game genre at
large and is better than the previous two games in every way imaginable.
This is exactly what you've been waiting for.
MARVEL’s SPIDERMAN 2
A Spectacular mix of action and story with so much to explore!
After a whole lot of waiting and patience, I finally got to play Spider-Man 2 on PC, and it looks gorgeous. From the very first moment, it throws you into the action-filled intro with everything that’s to come! The gameplay is so much more refined and enjoyable, it literally makes you feel like Spider-Man!The story is much more in-depth with the spin on Harry and Miles. Peter Parker’s Venom arc is what I expected from the beginning, and it doesn’t disappoint. Kraven is what I was afraid of being undermined, but he came on top and felt comic accurate. Talking about the world, extra additions feel nice, and the world suddenly becomes so much bigger. The side missions are also quite good and a step up from the 1st game, although they felt a little shorter than **** overall story, although not as emotionally fulfilling as the first one, still packs a huge punch in the end, and with a cool (and some say controversial) twist, I was satisfied with what Insomniac and Marvel delivered. I can’t honestly wait for the next one and Wolverine to be released!
PROS:
- Amazing gameplay and combat system.
- Stepped up swinging and flying mechanics.
- Great plot and much to offer.
- Cool Marvel references. (to make us nerds keep guessing!)
CONS:
- A shorter story, which, in my opinion, is not something that made me complain.
SCORE: 10/10
A practically complete sequel that improves almost everything it can improve and offers us the best Spider-Man video game and one of the best superhero video games in history. Outstanding in every way, pampering both the main and the secondary and that will surely leave us wanting more.
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is a great sequel to a great game. It's bigger and more focused, and it captures everything that made the first game work. From start to finish, it is as fun to play as its predecessor, and if it has one "flaw," it is that you're getting exactly what you'd expect. I can't get enough of the game, so when I completed it, I instantly set out to finish all of the challenges. Kudos to the development team.
This is an amazing fantasy come to life and realised like never before. Insomniac Games has crafted yet another heartfelt Spider-Man story bursting with twists, turns, and show-stopping spectacle. While I wish it had taken a few more risks in changing up its open-world formula, it’s tricky to remember those criticisms when I’m diving from the top of the Empire State Building and firing out a web line at the last second as I swing away in search of ass to kick.
Spider-Man 2 made me feel like the web-slinger himself – two versions of him, in fact – as I played through the game. I loved the feeling of getting around the city, fighting crime and saving the day. I didn't like how weak Spider-Man sometimes felt against bigger groups, nor did I like when the story slowed things down and took me away from the high-flying action sections. However, the overall experience was able to surpass both of these issues, and Spider-Man 2 is worthy of every accolade it receives.
Even if these faults are eventually fixed in an upcoming patch, it’s clear that this game should not have been released in its current inexcusable state. It’s a shame because, critiques aside, there’s a genuinely addictive gameplay loop here that I’m sure I would have found more compelling if there was stability. Ultimately, bugs are not guaranteed in everyone’s playthroughs, so you may get lucky. But I do recommend being aware of these potential problems and making backup saves should something go awry.
wow this is crazy is this game realllyyyyyyyyy?????????? the graphics are amazing and as a spider man fan, if you like spider man, then you have to play this game literally brooooo i love you this game developers!
A pretty great follow up to the previous and yea obviously it won’t be as good as the first one and that’s fine. I really enjoy the dynamics between the 2 Spider-Man despite it feeling like Peter is weaker which at times is odd but it’s not like it ruins the game. The story for the most part is good but it is also heavily flawed. Venom while pretty cool feels very rushed and it’s kinda similar to Tobey Maguire spiderman 3. I say it cuz both have somewhat rushed stories. The gameplay however is some how worse. I’m not sure why they decided to get rid of the gadgets from the first installment but at times the gameplay felt incomplete. Overall the game is great but at times its questionable what the game is trying to accomplish.
When it's not crashing get ready for propaganda. Spiderman getting mad at a gun store, everyone saying ny is all about **** its annoying but you can deal. But when he saves lives as venom but uses an angry tone all the support cast act as if he murdered someone. He doesn't do anything different. Have some balls - have Peter crush a skull break a bone or kill someone. Having him say I'm gonna hurt ya is not evil lol who wrote this
