 More fun than expected February 23, 2007
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.

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.

Spider-Man 2 is a decent game. For those that want an easy swinging web-head there is an easy mode, but the normal mode for all its extra difficuly is a much richer experience. If you want straight swinging with one button then go for it, but if your swinging from a building to the side of you then of course you will swing in an arc. That's just realistic. The skill comes in at being able to control this with additiol webs and timed jumps and when you do you will feel like the movie. Yes the side missions do get repetative but there is enough additonal exploring to do (and trust me if you master web swinging you will want to) that it can alleviate this somewhat. If you are a fan of Spider-Man and want to dive off the highest skyscraper in New York to swing away on a web at the last moment then this game is for you. For super engaging gameplay you may want to look elsewhere. This game is for the free spirit.
Spider-man 2 = an instant buy December 13, 2005

I know the first Spider-man movie game sucked. But Activision has worked very hard on this free range action game. The training is very helpfull and the controls are easy to adapt to. I thought this game would do one thing wrong and that would be what you would do after you beet the story mode, but unlike most games this one doesn't go back to the menu screen after you win. Instead you are free to keep swinging arond the city and stopping crime even after you complete the story mode. I personally didn't care for the story mode that much but my friend did and he's a huge Spider-man fan. The graphics are prety good once you set aside the facts that alot of people look the same and this game can get prety repetitive. The audio is very well done and I haven't seen gameplay like this sice Halo! Don't waste money renting this game if you get a chance to buy it DO!
Graphics = A-
Audio = A
Controls = A+
Gameplay = A+
