    If you've got a 7-10 year-old who enjoyed the movie, feel free to tack another star on to the score; otherwise, consider yourself warned -- this is not your father's Spider-Man 2.

    The problem with Spiderman 2 is its lack of depth.

    A dull 3D Action game in the strictest sense and besides the wall climbing or web swinging that your character can do, it doesn't bring anything new to the genre

    After three hours (if you can make it that far) of crappy controls, mediocre visuals, and boring and generally unimaginative gameplay, you'll actually be glad to have finished the game so you can return it or burn it and move on with your life.

    This game can be completed, from start to finish in two hours. I am not joking. What's more is there's no incentive to go back and replay anything in this game. All in all, the PC version of this magnificent film, with an equally magnificent console game does not measure up to either side of its namesake.

    This game just feels like an insult. Or maybe a practical joke. [Nov 2004, p.80]

    The game sucks in every sense of the word. Sure, Bruce Campbell narrates the tutorial but that is the sole tiny nugget of goodness buried in this huge pile of wasted game.

    It was one of the first games I played as a child. It has a special place in my heart, so I have to give it a high score.

    Not the best Spiderman game but not bad either. Looking away at that 2 and not expecting to be like the console version of Spiderman 2 thenNot the best Spiderman game but not bad either. Looking away at that 2 and not expecting to be like the console version of Spiderman 2 then this game is decent enough in my opinion. I will rate it with a 6 only because the web swinging is very akward if it werent for that I would rate it at least a 7 it's not like you will be doing lots of web swinging in this game anyway since most of the levels are indoors, this game felt more like the first Spiderman(2000) but with akward web swinging than Spiderman 2 or 3 on console that were open world.… Expand

    Spider-Man 2 on PS2 is common and easy to find. BUY THAT GAME!!!!! NOT THIS ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Goddamn, this game. The "innovative"    Spider-Man 2 on PS2 is common and easy to find. BUY THAT GAME!!!!! NOT THIS ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Goddamn, this game. The "innovative" web-slinging is AWFUL!!!

    I understand this game was dumbed down, but, why? Spider-Man 2 on PS2, Xbox, and GameCube is way better and this game is unfair. DO NOT BUY IT!!!! You can get a pre-owned PS2 and Spider-Man 2 for $50.

    SCREW THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!    … Expand
