Spider-Man 2: The Movie 2 review:4 stars (Be Spider-Man and See New York) - This game was amazing. I saw more of New York from this game then actually going there. This just shows the amazing work done to work on the gaphics and game layout. This game was just wow. What else is there to say, if you don't like superhero games then this will just change your mind. If only other super hero games were like this.
4 stars (Technically a fantastic game, but lacks gameplay) - This game is incredibly beautifully made. The graphics, the physics, the freedom... they are truly amazing. The horizon of graphic is pretty far, there are many interesting things to explore.

But... other than being gorgeous, the game simply lacks gameplay.

The missions are all very easy. The enemies are all very easy and the gameplay must have been geared to a younger group of players than me (I'm on my early 20s). The only true enemy of Spiderman in this game is water. All the fights are easy, Rhino, and all of them... just fall very easily (and there aren't even that many of the more special enemies that try to make it challenging). The only truly difficult parts of the game are the ones that involve water, the duel over the statue of liberty and the final battle against Dr Ock both involve the constant risk of falling on water and since that kills you at once it is the only true challenge in the game. I find that annoying and frankly a bit old.

The side quests such as finding sckyscraper special locations and stuff are a good idea (reminds me of Grand Theft Auto), but frankly there is no payoff. You find all of them and all you get is a medal on your status screen saying you did it. Who cares? There are so many things that could have been added such as different costumes for Spidey, changes to Peter's apt, and etc. (Again, similar things have been done before for example in GTA).

The random missions are very repetitive (by the 8-9 time a armored car was being robbed it got to be pretty boring).

The game still is pretty funny though, the voices are made by the actors from the movie so they are great.

I just wish they had spent some of the time they used making the amazing NY in the game creating some more story and gameplay instead.

The 9/11 memorial in the game was a pretty neat and sensitive inclusion though.5 stars (Marvel's Spiderman meets GTA Vice City ) - By far the best action game I've ever played. I tried picking up the first Spiderman for PS1 and got frustrated during the first training part of the game because everything was about precision controls and memorizing button combinations. Spiderman 2 was easy to pick up. Trainin only took 30 minutes and the rest was self-explanatory. The controls are really easy and the animations are entertaining enough to keep you busy for hours.
If the developers of this game would make a Superman game with a similar set-up, I'm sure it'd be a hit.
