    I'm so tired of people kissing Spider-Man 2's backside, as it really isn't anything to write home about. Let me elaborate, the controls are some of the worst I've ever seen in any game, the story isn't special at all with average voice acting, and average looking character models. Everyone praises the web swinging when in actuality its very frustrating to get around the city.

Let me elaborate, the controls are some of the worst I've ever seen in any game, the story isn't special at all with average voice acting, and average looking character models. Everyone praises the web swinging when in actuality its very frustrating to get around the city. You are forced to collect a certain amount of "Hero Points" to progress through the story which wouldn't be that bad if you didn't have to collect 2000 - 4000 of them each chapter. Combat is average at best and extremely frustrating at worst. Overall Spider-Man 2 for the PS2 is a below average game. I don't recommend it at all.… Expand

    Some may be disappointed by the lack of personal scenes from the film but chances are they wouldn't have made great game missions.

    Spider-Man 2 emerges as not only a movie licence that eschews the ‘fast-buck’ approach, but as an enjoyable game in its own right – which is chiefly a testament to just how compelling it is to have superpowers and a vast city in which to show them off. [Sept 2004, p.118]

    The game's integral factors ascend above the fray, giving players a huge, multifaceted game that's rich in skill-based gameplay and replay value. It's fat with a massive array of challenges, and it delivery a distinct Spider-Man style of fun previously unmatched in the action genre.
