Review: The Original 2 Spiderman games on the PS1 were great, and then Spiderman: The Movie came to PS2 and was even better. But they all seemed to lack something... COMPLETE FREEDOM! In Spiderman 2 you can go anywhere and do anything. For the first time you can walk the city streets, interact with civilians, solve petty crimes or just crawl to the top of the chrysler building to admire the view! Green markers appear on your map which indicate civilians in distress, these scenarios range from someone reporting a carjacking, a civilian who needs to be taken to the hospital, muggings, or people dangling from buildings needing your help. The Story matches the film pretty well with a few differences and some nice added bits that werent in the film. Doc Ock is joined by two more bad guys, Shocker and Rhyno. And Spidey has Black Cat on his side The nicest thing about it I think is the non-continous swinging. In the Original you'd press R2 once and Spidey would swing all day till he smacked into a building or something. In Spiderman 2 R2 shoots out one stream of web that Spidey will hang on to till you press X to break it, then press R2 to shoot another web. With practice you become very proficient at swinging, changing direction in a split second. As for Spiderman himself, visually he looks the best he ever has, both as Spiderman and Peter, and he has the most amazing capabilities ever. From webbing your opponent up to stringing them to lamposts to yanking thier weapons away with webbing. In short this is the best Spiderman game, If not the best Superhero game, ever made. A must for any spiderfan! Buy it now if you havnt already!!! |
