Boring.

Though miles better than the (awful) first game this still suffers from major bore. The free-roaming gameplay would be great if there were a bit more variety and things to do.

The main problem is that the gaming area is absolutely immense. While this may be a good thing (a whole state is your gaming area in the upcoming GTA: San Andreas) there are very few definitive landmarks to give you some kind of orientation. It's based on the real New York, with all the famous buildings, but literally hundreds of streets look the same and it's very, very easy to get hopelessly lost. Plus the only method of travel is swinging. Yes, it's cool, but very slow considering the area you have to cover and not to easy to control unless your a genius with the control pad.

And the missions are all the same. Stop an armoured car hijack, stop a guy stealing a car, save some idiot hanging off a building, beating up nameless thugs, save some guy hanging off a building, stop some guy stealing a car, save some guy hanging off a building...boring. When you complete a mission that should be it done for the whole game, none of this again and again and again trash. The average score for completing these missions is 250 hero points...you need 1, 000, 000 to reach Doc Ock at the end of the game. Sorry I ain't sticking around long enough to 4000 tedious missions.

The only cool thing about this game is that it's narrated by Bruce Campbell. The rest seems like a rushed movie tie-in, not a real game.

Pretty SWEET

this game is really amazing. from the actually seeing what you r shooting ur web at 2 the walking on the street. the graphics r awesome also.gameplay is great(i got for gamecube dont no about other systems). wut i liked the most is that u can actually go onto the street in this game. u can decide between doing the story missions or solving random street crimes(or helping a little kid get his balloon back).its awesome that u can actually web swing from a helicopter but im not sure if u can grab on to it.(...) i beat the game already.(its not short i just played for a really long time). Well anyways i definitely recommend this game spiderman fan or not

Spider-Man Rules!!!!

Man I personally love this game I mean everything is so much more realistic! The swinging is a little more Difficutl than part 1, but once you get the hang of it you'll love it!! The fights are awesome! The reflex mode is sick, it gives you that matrix feel!! And the combos are nice!! the only bad thing that I have to say about this game is the fact that when you are patroling the city those little side missions keep repeating themselves, other than that the game is awesome!! Pick up your own copy, it's a automatic classic!

Excellent Game Design and Graphics!

Spider Man 2, gotta love it. This is without a doubt the best combination of genres I've seen in a game. Seamlessly blending RPG, Action, Adventure and Arcade, this game has a lot for everybody. There is a wonderful story mode with beautifully rendered cut scenes, and also a really fun free roaming mode. I bought this game a long time ago, and I still love playing it. If you only buy a few games this year, make this one of them.

More fun than expected

This is one of the only movie tie-in games that I actually enjoyed.
The gaming area is huge, as well it should be. It's the island of Manhattan as well as Roosevelt Island. Anyone who has spend any time in NY will instantly go to there favorite landmark (also props for the tasteful WTC site). I suppose you can get lost, but NY does have a somewhat confusing layout.
The fastest way to travel is web swinging. Once you get the handle of it (R shoulder shoots web, A drops it, optional speed burst with L shoulder) it is extremely addictive. You can also run around, but obviously it's not the fastest way. You can also purchase speed upgrades for your swing to make it faster. Trust me, it is reallllllllly easy to control.
It is true that the free roam variety of missions are repetitive: Someone is robbing a money truck, breaking into a building, or stealing someone's purse. Also a kid's balloon may be floating up, a guy is hanging from a building, you can visit a gang hideout, you may just get jumped, you can chase down an out of control car... Basically fight these guys or chase this thing. You can also do some different kinds of races and of course the story based missions.
You get hero points after every mission. 125-500 for non story ones, plus points for everyone you kill. It is well into the thousands for story missions. Those points can be used to upgrade you combat, speed & some bonuses.
The story missions include the movie but also have long arcs with Mysterio, Shocker, and Black Cat. The Mysterio boards are especially fun - one includes him taking over Liberty Island. Points are not hard to come by - even in game hints nets you 10-50 points. Another reviewer said, "you need a million points to get to the end of the game" Uh...no, the game is divided into chapters and the most you need prior to the Dr. is like 5000. As that other reviewer admitted he didn't "stick around" for the end - I did.
Anyone with even a passing interest in Spider-Man should check this out. This is Spider-man in the GTA style, so it loses a few points for originality, but it is an all around great game.

One of my favorites

I found this to be one of the best games that I have ever played. You actually get to be Spiderman. In the last game, you just swung from invisible points in the sky. Now, you actually get to stick to buildings. The physics engine in this game is amazing, although the free fall lacks the realizm of the swinging. Aside from the great gameplay, Bruce Campbell returns as the narrator. He continues shelling out humor like he did in the last game. As for the bosses...Doc Ock was a bit of a challenge. He requires almost constant dodging which is rather difficult with lanky human fingers. There are also a wide variety of challenges besides beating bosses into the pavement. There are random time challenges and a plethora of hidden tokens to collect (excuse the big word, I couldn't resist).

WHOA

alright here's the deal, get this game, even if you're not a spidey fan. The graphics rocks. AND there are real new york landmarks such as the empire state building (which you can jump off of ^_^) and the twin towers memorial. The puzzles are a good level, enogh to keep a littler kid busy and older audiences ocuppied. This game is exceptional.
