Play through the game for a while and you'll find something new that you previously wouldn't have believed possible. As I mentioned before, climbing up to the top of the highest skyscraper is something that simply HAS to be tried by all.

The web-slinging parts of the game are brilliantly done...Yet on the ground, the game looks and feels remarkably ugly. [Sept 2004, p.94]

It's a very minor masterpiece; a perfect execution that's inherently shallow rather than profound. Give credit, though, to a hype-free summer blockbuster that will doubtlessly leave the senses tingling.

A good game but it is way too long. Even if there are many different skills and stuff, I got bored when I hit 70% completed in the game. I am a completionist though, maybe this is why. If you don't bother with all the side quests, you can have more fun.

Got to play this on my 360 last year for the first time and the game is Amazing, Swinging is nearly better then the recent games on New gen, Story wise it follows the same Story in the movie but has its own twist on it not copying scene from scene, NPC Voice lines are funny asf lmaoo,

Spiderman GTA and the upgrades just make it much much better. The bosses are also pretty good andspiderman is just really really good to control (the only bad thing is that there´s not many mobility options in the ground)

I honestly can't fathom going back to driving a car in the next installment of "Grand Theft Auto" – the world is just so much cooler when you can explore the whole city, meaning everything up in the air as well. Manhattan becomes a giant jungle gym for Spider-Man to play in, and it is a blast.

Regardless of how cheesy it may be, we're glad that there's a slow motion 'Spidey Sense' button, it allows you to appreciate all of the work that has gone into the animation.

Loved this game as a kid. Played it for hundreds of hours just swinging around New York fighting crime. Fun combat, with lots of combos, great villain roster (the mysterio sequence rocks).

May not be perfect, as it does have some flaws in the graphics department and enemy A.I. causing the game to seem unbalanced at times, but with the new features and enhanced gameplay of this title easily makes it a Must Have game.

Slinging, jumping, and crawling your way up to the very tip of the Empire State Building and surveying the traffic below is almost worth the price of admission alone. [Sept 2004, p.78]

The goal of any superhero game is to make you feel like the hero, and by that standard, Spider-Man 2 is unrivaled. That it also happens to be a fantastic action game is icing on the cake, a true treat for both fans of the webslinger and general gamers alike.
70
The fairly repetitive and shallow missions, the dreary presentation of the film plot, and the uneven sights and sounds are normally sufficient to warrant a 'fans need only apply' status.
60
Spider-Man 2 presents players with a city ripe for action and exploration, but once you swing down out of the clouds and take a closer look at the grubby streets and roads strewn with vehicles, you'll find little to pique your interest. [Sept 2004, p.100]

This was the first Spider-Man game I played as a kid and I loved it. It was the first sandbox game which allowed me to free roam around a simulated Manhattan, and it was fun swinging through the skies between **** as Spider-Man. The web-slinging is a step-up from it's predecessor the first Spider-Man videogame, as the physics engine is more advanced. You can break up petty street crimes on the streets like muggings, purse snatchers, gang fights, grand theft auto, and assailants. The random thugs on the street are more realistic than the goons in the Spider-Man 3 videogame. On top of taking on Doctor Octopus like in the movie and following the movie's plotline, there are other storylines and supervillains and characters from Spider-Man's rogues gallery featured in the game such as Rhino, Mysterio, Shocker, and Black Cat. One of a less exciting features of the game is delivering pizzas as Spider-Man, like in the movie, but it was okay. You also take pictures for the Daily Bugle throughout some points in the game. Going inside the Daily Bugle building is cool, you get to interact with Betty Brant, Robbie, and J. Jonah Jameson. This game is a classic.

Spider-Man 2 is hands down the best Marvel game ever! The best movie based game in fact! The story, physics, everything about this game is a masterpiece!

Don't look at this review. I thought this was Spiderman 2 for the PS5 and accidently rated it and now I don't know how to remove it. Anyway, here are the lyrics to Blitzkrieg Bop by The Ramones: Hey ho, let's go! Hey ho, let's go!
Hey ho, let's go! Hey ho, let's go!
They're forming in straight line
They're going through a tight wind
The kids are losing their minds
The blitzkrieg bop
They're piling in the back seat
They're generating steam heat
Pulsating to the back beat
The blitzkrieg bop
Hey ho, let's go
Shoot 'em in the back now
What they want, I don't know
They're all revved up and ready to go
They're forming in straight line
They're going through a tight wind
The kids are losing their minds
The blitzkrieg bop
They're piling in the back seat
They're generating steam heat
Pulsating to the back beat
The blitzkrieg bop
Hey ho, let's go
Shoot 'em in the back now
What they want, I don't know
They're all revved up and ready to go
They're forming in straight line
They're going through a tight wind
The kids are losing their minds
The blitzkrieg bop
They're piling in the back seat
They're generating steam heat
Pulsating to the back beat
The blitzkrieg bop
Hey ho, let's go! Hey ho, let's go!
Hey ho, let's go! Hey ho, let's go!
