Spider-Man 2

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

This game have fun mission but one thing sucks about this game is the Doc Oc boss fight like it's hard but I manage to beat the game. I'd have to admit Trayac is better then Benox when it comes up with Spider-Man games. This game need to be backward compatible because most of these new kids doesn't know how fun the game is like most of them are into them damn graphics now a days like this is the reason why I still keep my Original Xbox, PS3, PSP, and Xbox 360.

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 Movie Game is by far the best super-hero game ever!

In the sequel to its predecessor, Spider-Man 2 gives the player the opportunity to actually live the life of a super-hero, with the abilities to interact with people and objects. The layout for the game is very similar to that of the Grand Theft Auto series, so you can do what you want, when you want, and how you want to -- an experience that Spider-Man: The Movie Game lacked. Being more open-ended, you have a choice of which assigned mission you would like to do first in special layouts called 'chapters'. Accomplishing each mission grants you Hero Points (the modern currency for all tight-wearing heroes), which you can use to buy special combos or locomotion upgrades. Accomplishing each mission makes you one step closer to entering the next chapter.

In this game, locomotion and combat tactics are completely advanced. Instead of sticking to the clouds, Spider-Man's web connects to any building that it is pointed to, allowing Spider-Man to swing and gain momentum for the next thread. You can swing the corner of a building to make a turn, or swing from a skyscraper to gain tremendous speed.

If you don't want to swing around, then you can do what was well-needed in the previous game: Sprinting. This makes you move far faster than a run and can help you reach a destination far faster than wall-crawling. Aside from wall-crawling, you can also sprint on the walls (called Wall-Sprinting) or Hyper Crawl (a far faster mode of wall-crawling). Instead of the annoying Zip-Line technique, you can charge up your jump for a Hyper Spring. This leap uses Spidey's strength to leap tremendous distances, allowing you to leap from building to building.

Combat has changed with new combos and dodging enhancements. New combos can sometimes be accomplished by executing a four-button combo or by executing a three-button combo and rapidly pressing an extra button. The Spider-Sense is now triggered whenever Spidey is about to be attacked, and precise timing will allow Spidey to dodge the attack with ease and execute a counter-attack. If you are having trouble, Spidey can also enter into Spider-Reflexes Mode -- a special combat mode that allows Spidey to move far faster than his enemies for a limited time. This mode can change the way Spidey attacks and can sometimes allow Spidey to execute special combos. Fortunately, you have unlimited -- yet harmless -- webbing that can give you an advantage over well-armed foes or over a group of enemies.

Classic characters have entered into the game and some are making a come-back. The mighty Rhino robs a bank; the previously captured Shocker escapes; the master of illusion Mysterio causes havoc by causing an apparent alien take-over; and Doc Ock threatens the lives of your friends and family.

Also, the well-known Black Cat makes her premiere in this game as an ally for some of your many missions, especially those involving the Shocker. As usual, the game will eventually go along with the movie, but the game still possesses its open-ended layout.

In fact, combating these foes is also completely different. Instead of blindly pummeling the foe in the previous game, Spidey's villains have many tricks up their sleeves that may turn the tide on Spidey. Some will unfortunately get away, but you will be prepared for them next time.

This game actually possesses more of the legendary Spider-Man comedy than its predecessor. Many of them are wisecracks against his enemies, while others are self-criticizing. Either way, you may just belly-laugh at most of his funny moments.

Overall: well-built game-play; tremendous amount of opportunities to 'do whatever a spider can'; includes classic Spidey villains and allies; terrific graphics and special effects; excels in providing both direct and tactical combat; and amazing movies.

Rating: 10 out of 10. Highly recommended.

I still miss the original game play of the first Spider-Man game. While the first game involved missions of kicking butt and doing investigative work, the sequel is about saving people from New York of all kinds of threats from Sinking Boats, Armed Robberies, Carjackings, Muggings, Explosions and more. I'll admit, the game play is great because you're still experiencing the same excitement as the first game when you follow the movie plot; just like in part 2, Parker has to deal with responbility on his alter ego while Mary Jane Watson is going out with John Jameson. Also the bad guys are no picnic either; you deal with the main villain of the movie, Dr. Octopus along with Rhino, Mysterio, and Shocker. I expected to see at least Scorpion after his dissaperence from the first gain. That's the good news. The bad news is that the game is incessant, meaning never ending. As you finish playing the movie version, you are on your own getting points to earn bonus moves and I would say just play the movie levels and that's it.

B+
