This will be one of the best games out this year. First off, the game-play has been completly reworked, and now you can atcually drop all the way to the streets without dieing. Its a seemless world like Jak II now too. They added a "random crime" thing where there are minor crimes that go off at times, and you can choose to stop them or just ingnore them. Also, scripted missions, that follow the movie plot. All in all this game will be awsome.
Graphics 5/5
Sound (Don't know, havn't heard it)
Control ?(great)?
Overall - 5/5
Also, the Swing system has been fixed, so the webs don't just dissapear into the sky above you, it is actuall swining, where the web has to connect to the buildings. They made sure this works too.
Nowhere you can't go

From the empire state building to the statue of liberty to the daily bugle,there's nowhere you can't go.Spider-man 2 is like a grand theft auto meets Spider-man meets true crime without the guns.The controls you'll learn in the first 10 minutes but swinging takes time to get used to.The map is huge.You can go to the empire state building,the statue of liberty,Oscorp,the daily bugle,Central park,and even you can see the twin towers memorial at night(well thats what I heard).Now on to Gameplay.
Gameplay:
The game is like the movie and it makes you feel like your really Spider-man.I mean you've got to get to MJ's play on time,deliver pizzas,go take pictures of yourself for the daily bugle,and more.Now you can see why Peter doesn't want to be Spider-man anymore cause on your way to your destination something happens which include banks being robbed,break ins and more.
Baddies:
Doc Ock is the main baddie but others such as Mysterio and Rhino are in the game as well.Even Black Cat is here but she's got no powers.
Audio and Graphics:
The audio is good and the music is great for someparts.The graphics are great too.Only the people in distress don't really have much detail.You will see the same people alot.Their mouths don' move which is ok.The cutscenes are excellent,even Black Cat looks real and Spider-man is perfect.
Swinging:
Now comes the best part,swinging.Theirs two types:Easy and Normal.Easy is well...Easy,but Normal swinging gives you more control over your webbing.This time you have to hit something to swing which means no more swinging on a invisible roof.Web zip is not the same.Instead of zipping like in the first one,It's like the movie how Spider-man pulls himself up to start swinging but it's still ok.
Overall:
Overall,this is a really great game.If your a Spider-man fan you'll like it like me,or if your looking just for a good game, you'll like it too.I suggest playing it or renting it before buying it that way you won't buy a game you don't like.Overall I give it a 10.
BUY THIS GAME NOW

I might not be a huge gamer like most of u, but I know a good game when I see 1! The first game sucked, but lucky for u this game dosen't. A cool new thing in SP2 is that the whole island of Manhattan is your personal playground YOU CAN WALK ON THE GROUND!!! And they have a new web system so you can attach your webs to things this time. The combat is solid! They give you 50 new combos to totally kill stuff with. All right i'm done buy this game now, spider-man fan or not

Great Game... Great game. You really cant get into spider man until you play this. You get all of spidys moves and combos, you can web tie 4 people at once,hang vilans from lamp posts and web swing through all of New York yes, all of New York. You get to battle 3 mojor supervillans(Rino, Mysterio, and, of corse Doc Ock. The only bad part is... no multiplayer, sadly. But I think it is probaly the best of the year, buy it.
Awesome Game!

It's a really good game. It's fun to swing around New York and the Statue of Liberty. The graphics are awesome. It's a bummer that it is rated T, since I am only 8 1/2 years old, but my parents sometimes let me play it. I love to play it and my parents think I play it too much. I can't wait till Spiderman 3 comes out.
Pretty SWEET

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).
Wow!

We bought this game for our son, but we're all playing it! And the coolest thing about this game is that just about the ENTIRE CITY is in there for you to explore!!!! Climb the Empire State Building and look at the view in all directions! What will you recognize? EVERYTHING!! It's amazing and beautiful!! And fun! We swing through the city fighting bad guys, taking the challenges, and even delivering pizzas!! (But don't shake the delivery box too much! :)) It's just fun!
bigger and better

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.

Before I tell you how great this game is I want to tell you that the freakisly long review at the top has LIED, Electro and the Lizard are not seen in this game, now I will tell you how great this game is. Damn this is one great game! You do your fancy little web-swinging all over the Big Apple. That means all of New York, from Lady Liberty to the suberbs and all the skyscrapes, nightclubs, and all the people who don't have a life in between.
This is what I call "The Reality Game", cause unlike the other 2 spidy games(Spider-Man 1, and Spider-Man) where you shoot webs into the air and swing around like a idiot, only land on roof tops, and go into enormous built that could never be made in our life time. You can swing off the buildings, go on the street or on the tops of building, and go inside normal size buildings.
Besides Doc. Oc, you go aginst Shocker, a guy who can shoot electricity out of his iron gloves. Rhino, an 8" with to much muscels, a cybornetic skin-tight suit with a big ass horn on his noggen, and he dosen't use his smarts. Last is Mysterio, a redard with a fish bowl on his head.
