- Following Spider-Man 3 becoming the best performing video on our channel yet, it only is fair that we give the same dedication and admiration to the true superhero GOAT. Spider-Man 2 is one of the most transformative video games ever for its time. To this day, you can still feel echoes of its design in modern Spider-Man games. From the PS2, to the PSP, and even the PC, let's dig into everything Spider-Man 2!

Spider-Man 2 is a phenomenal game, but it all started with the very first. Our Retro Rebound on the first ever Raimi Spider-Man game is now live! - ua-cam.com/video/4tEDglZdtrw/v-deo.html
People don't know how groundbreaking this game was when it came out. It broke the stigma of movies not translating to good video games.
The game was truly ambitious and definitely more than just a cash grab latched on a movie. It definitely changed how Spider-man games should be. Another great movie tie in game was X-men Origins Wolverine the ps3 and Xbox 360 version that game was really good too despite the movie being trash.
Not to mention the lord of the really rings games and all the star wars games . This was a good era
There were a ton of good movie games during the ps1 and snes/genesis era, what are you talking about?
GoldenEye 64?
@LetMeTellYouSomething My favorite bit about this is that Insomniac is set to not only have surpassed Spiderman 2, but next Wolverine!
Tobey’s performance in this game is hilarious. He’s more quippy than he ever was in the movies but he says them all in the same monotone.
I like his monotone. It fits really well
@@HistoryandReviews I feel like tobey is good at representing anger and there’s some of that anger in spiderman 3 video game more specifically during the morbius level
I like it, it adds some campiness to those games lol
I completed this game 100% as a kid. Even after endgame I completed all the hero points and I loved every minute of it. There were so many easter eggs in this game as well. The combo system was so deep and revolutionary for its time. This game still has more air tricks for Spider Man compared to all the newer Spider Man games. I wish a remaster or remake of this game could ever be made. That would be so cool.
The last hero point mission killed my ass off! I remembered that I did Everything but collecting this 50000 points!😅
HAD more air tricks, till Miles Morales didn't just blow it outta the water but also made every air trick animation flow naturally into swinging
still the definitive spiderman game. The fact that it's still not ported to modern consoles is a crime against humanity
Huge shoutout to Neverssoft's Spider-Man (2000) on PlayStation. Another classic.
@@prlysis this ^
you can play it with emulators
Too bad it will never get ported, Activision is part of Xbox now.
18:00 I think what helped Spider-Man 2’s case over ultimate is that you didn’t need to do races or find tokens to continue. All you had to do was get a certain amount of points, and just about everything gave you points in Spider-Man 2, so in my experience, I was usually already moving to the next chapter not too long after completing the last one
yeah spiderman 2's progression gives you the flexibility to get points with whatever activity while ultimate asked for specific ones to be repeated a certain number...i wish the newer games could have this type of progression it contributed to the day to day feeling paired with the day/night cycle
Having just beat Ultimate it’s really not nearly as bad as people make it sound. I beat the game in 4 hours and about 30-40 minutes was spent on side activities. So yeah you barely have to do any of them. 5 combat missions, 6 races, 17 tokens, and 20 events which are very short.
I utterly adore how the web's physically connect to every building so cool
As a Kid I played it like the movie because sometimes spidey in the game couldn’t shoot a web( because of reason) and if this happened I just let it happen because I didn’t want to break the immersion that Peter now is having Crises over his powers! Man this Game is a lifestyle😂
I like the first game and ps1 games where GOD is holding his webs
The goat spider man game of my childhood!
The swinging is so GOOD! And the combat is simple, unique, and fun.
Shoutout to the two MVP's for this game: Jamie Fristrom, the main guy behind the swinging mechanics, and Bruce Campbell for his hilarious hints and narration
What are these games without Bruce honestly
@@retrorebound8887 The psp version turtioral. Feel bad for the guy. Trying his damn best to sound like Bruce
Got laid off today Matty even though I was performing well. Thanks for entertaining me through this!
I'm really sorry to hear that. It's a scary time right now, so I hope you don't get too discouraged. Happy to provide some uplifting content during a tough time!
What kind of job was it?
It’s all good just buy some QNT crypto and wait it out
😞
Wow great timing, I literally replayed this game for the first time since it dropped and it still holds up. It took me 5 hours to beat the story and then almost 14 to buy every upgrade. Sucks that there's no reward for 100% everything, so now I just web swing around whenever I want to remember what it was like the 1st time.
Swinging from one side to the other side of the city wilk forever be fun.
I'm surprised you didn't mention the scariest line of dialogue in the game. "Oh no my balloon!" Every time I heard this I made it my life's mission to catch that balloon, because if I didn't the game would punish me by forcing me to listen to what felt like 10 minutes of a child crying. What's worse is that this was a random event you couldn't opt out of and sometimes the balloons were actually hard to grab. I absolutely hated failing these lmao.
Damn reading this unlocked a core memory for me. Oh no, my balloon!😢. I haven’t played this in 16 years and this is so vivid 😂
Id steal the balloon and see how long i could keep it
Oh man... I remember playing this on XBOX when I was around 6 years old. Really loved it. Couldn't understand english at that point (I'm from Finland), but games like this and the Harry Potter games made me check the dictionary and learn the language. Video games do teach valuable skills in life. Languages. Patience (thank you Dark Souls).
I adore this game and I've played it a lot back in the day. I just love going back to that old - or more like young - mindset and mood of childhood.
You definitely deserve the praise from me for this video, but I also have to correct you with at least one thing. You CAN run on walls, but it is not as easy as they made it later. You have to pay attention to the speed, angle and gravity - I freakin love how they made this game mechanics so deep and close-to-realistic. Basically you have to crawl up on a wall, jump forward and when you touch the wall, press spring again. You won't spring forever, because Spidey will lose balance and speed but it is possible to pull it off and later on in the game, to master the races, it is essential
It's one of those old games that you love but don't want to ever replay, because you know it probably hasn't aged well.
I disagree. I played it a while back and even after playing spiderman 2018. I still think this game holds up. The swinging is still good and combos may be basic but still fun to do.
Everything else. Story, npcs and voice acting is kinda outdated. But the gameplay us still solid
I still like spider-man 1 and enter electro on ps1 but when i played Spider-Man 2 on ps2 i absolutely loved it. Being able to go to the ground was big. I can even remember the house and room i lived in at the time. It’s a strong core memory
Currently replaying the game myself and I'm blown away. The combat is amazing, you can jump cancel and do all kinds of difficult tech that I thought was only in later games. I wish I could record my Xbox O gameplay
THE PIZZA MISSIONS 😂 I LOVED THOSE!!! Watching this video was amazing but the pizza missions were something I had completely forgotten about WOW 😆
Man what a nostalgia trip
I remember watching the movie and being so devoted. I would play with my spiderman action figure trying to recreate the same scene from the movie again and again.
This game was a major period of my childhood and it was the 1st game I thought of when I added a ps2 emulator to my pc after all these years.💙
omggg man this video has me so happy and just bringing back deep memories in childhood. this is so amazing. 1:21 that cute scene i remember vividly just being AMAZED by it. never seen your content till now but you just got a sub lol
as i’m watching this i’m now remembering how amazing this game was and how cool it was to roam around on this game especially.
This game will forever be one of my personal favorites. I’ll never forget playing this with my brother taking turns on missions. I still quote the line the NPC’s say “there’s always something in this town” 🤣
Retro rebound is my favorite channel it’s so nice to watch videos with someone talking about the games I love
This game is legendary, it has the best swinging of any Spider-Man game, along with a game changing open world. Thank you for shedding light on this classic.
Batman and Robin PS1 did comic book open world first
@@HistoryandReviews yeah but that wasn’t game changing. Also wasn’t that great of a game compared to Spider-Man 2. Why do you think no one talks about that game??
@@Infinite_32 right lol, same with early Marvel movies. Everyone wants to mention Blade & X-men, but it was really 2002 Spider-Man that put Marvel on the map.
@16:28 You can actually run on the side of buildings in spiderman 2. I remember that and looping on street lights were the first things i tried as a kid.
Awesome video as always, Matty. This game was one of my favorites as a kid.
This and KH2 are games that are always in my ps2. Can't get enough.
This was one of my favorite games as a kid what a classic and an amazing game and The Benchmark for Spider-Man games this game brings me back
First of all, I've been watching you since months, and i love your channel and content. You know there's actually a special version of Spiderman 2 which is exclusively for PC, it had graphics and gameplay wayy ahead of its time, which was a reason why this Spiderman was not available on consoles. Console one doesn't compare to that one.
That just is not true man the pc version of Spider-Man 2 is so much worse than the console versions you can’t even compare them completely different mechanics I’ve played both and console versions is the superior version of the game.
@@darthsynerio8270 it seems as if you played either a knock off game or there's a catch, there are 2 PC SP2 versions, one is like PS2 which i call like a HD remaster version and then a completely different version exclusive to PC, now idk which one you talking about. But even if still you think that PC exclusive wasn't better than PS2, then my friend you either had a really bad patato PC or are just a PS fanboy.
@@proxypat21 the one I saw was whack unless your talking about the emulated version on pc?
Found your channel from the DBZ BT videos and man I gotta say, I love your content bro. Great video
This was one of my first ever games back on my first ever console the GameCube. Special memories
I just want a PS5 Spiderman 2 trailer, man.
Hopefully not much longer! Rumor is we have a PlayStation showcase hitting before June which will be suuuuper exciting.
2004, the year this game and GTA San Andreas came out. Good times!
You mentioning recreating the moves makes me remember there was a kind of "Superman Leap" in Spider-Man 3, and I recreated that in my front lawn.... I sprained my shoulder extremely bad doing this and couldn't lift anything with my right arm for weeks.
This was my favorite spider man game as an early teen, growing up with my cousins us all playing the hell out of it.
I still remember staying up all night till sunrise on this games release. Having a true open world as spiderman was so mind blowing. I remember trying to explain to my mom how cool and new it was to walk on the streets lmao
the main difference between sm2 and usm "bottleneck"-wise is that the former's requirements are just "get hero points," which you can get by doing whatever you want. usm demands you to get like x tokens, win y races, do z combat tours, etc., which is a pretty big difference in terms of freedom. with usm, each bottleneck felt like i was driving down to the store with a grocery list
Yea the variety in how to progress is what makes people prefer spiderman 2 more.
I played and loved Spiderman 1 on the Gamecube as a kid, but I remember only playing like an hour of Spiderman 2 as I think it was at a friends house or something. Im absolutely going to have to pick this one up soon and finally give it a full try.
Emulate. Jesus Christ
I just bought this game I haven't played it Since I was young I'm gonna pop it in later today and play it I can't believe you made a video on this I'm glad this game is getting the attention it deserves. Keep up the good work!
I loved diving head first off the top of the empire state building with the dramatic fall to your knees and collapse death hahah! As well as the spinning pile driver smash their heads move on thugs from off a building, the combo moves in this game were next level
I remember seeing ads for this game when I was younger. I wanted so bad but couldn't as I didn't own a PS2 at the time. When I finally got it was impressed by how well-made it was. I mean licensed videogame with a massive open-world, huge amounts of content, AND barely any loading screens? Even more impressive was the world felt sprawling with dozens of npcs moving around and building interiors added. Spider-Man 2 is definitely one of the important games of that generation given the impact it had on other superhero games that followed. Summation: love this game, hope it gets a remake one day.
I just watched your SpiderMan 3 video earlier today! I was wondering where this one was.
The song, “Spider Egg” from this game’s OST will forever live rent free in my head.
This is one of those games that I got as a little kid cause it looked cool and it ended up being a surprise masterpiece
Keep the content coming!!!
When I think of good superhero games, this game is still the benchmark I use to compare other games too. This game went to daring new heights, reached for the stars, and it paid off in spades. This game not only re-defined what a GOOD superhero game was, it, alongside the likes of GTA3, helped set the gold standard for open world games, standards we still see even to this day.
It has it's flaws, as any game does. I'm not even going to try and pretend it's a perfect game. But it's still one of the web-slinger's best outings ever made, and if anybody, ANYBODY, wants to be a Spidey fan, they kind of have to play this.
haven’t had the privilege of playing this game, but i’m definitely gonna have to pick a copy up now!
I loved the pizza side missions, the greatest song ever 😂
I have this on GameCube and loved it back then and love it now!
I’ll never forget playing this game then watching Toy Story 2 on Christmas Day it was magical
My first Spider-Man game was Spider-Man 3 for the wii. I can’t wait to get 1,2&3 for the PlayStation
The web slinging mechanics were actually made during the development of the first game, but it was so late that they couldn't put it into the game, so they held it off for the sequel.
Spent so much time just swinging around the city! One of my favorite games on PS2!!
I just platinumed TASM2 game and I gotta say, probably my favorite game at the moment love the web swinging and the combat even though it was basically just Arkham, sure the morality system isnt the greatest but if beenox had a third game it would be fantastic
Love your videos mrmattyplays
I was 13 when this movie came out! Still amazing movie now! Here in the UK, I remember going out and buying my own newspaper because one of them came with a free PC DEMO of the game, I played that, loved it, and decided I'm definitely buying the ps2 game! Which I went out and got day 1 :) I also went and bought Revenge Of The Sith straight away bcus I was so excited for the movie I just had to see some movie clips before in the game before the cinema!
I played the hell out of this on the GameCube. It was the Spidey game I'd waited 23 years for! It was my favorite Spidey game until he hit PS4
I remember i got the spider man training dvd that came with an inflatable venom and i too tried to do some spider-man 2 moves of it
Loved this game to death as a kid and I like it even more than 2018 spiderman. Theres no other spiderman game as open world as this one. Glad I still own it but not my ps2 anymore sadly
I'm still playing it on my PC at 4k. Its like as good as spiderman ps4 with it's actual momentum swinging and being able to shoot 2 webs at the same time
Please tell me you are emulating the superior Xbox version and not the PS2 inferior. Gamecube is a decent inbetween
@@HistoryandReviews I don't have an Xbox emulator, I play the GameCube version yes
There's still a lot to love about this game, like things that haven't been repeated to this day. And there's still a lot in this game that it does better than Insomniac's. Overall Insomniac's yes is a much better game and maybe experience. But like the combat for example in Insomniac's is kind of bland. Like the gadgets are pretty cool, and there is some variety, but they're for the most part kind of one note, and the ground stuff is very, very bland. Like you don't see Spidey dodging and then helicopter kicking a bunch of dudes ya know? You can't web people to poles. You can't even swing around poles. So there's still a lot to enjoy about Spider-Man 2 that you still can't get anywhere else. Like you said there's buildings you can enter and discover stuff, that's not in the newest titles. There's not REALLY side villains in the new titles. Though- admittedly I don't know that SM2 has any side quest villains.. But like the random crimes and things are more interesting in SM2, like stopping someone from falling from a building, or having to bring them to a hospital. Even though it's dopey the pizza missions. Like yeah- point is SM2 still has a lot of great things.
When i was a child (like 4-7 years old) i could never finish spiderman 2 pc because i would always end up stuck in the bank phase, bc i was scared shitless by a room that happened to be darker than others that contained a group of thieves (or maybe it was just one lol)
Played this on the original Xbox. I love remembering this game.
Spider Man 1 had the most funniest lines. “Circus in town?” “Looks like the freak wants to play!” LMAO
"Looks like the freak wants to play" is burned in my head permanently
I still remember those lines. Also "Look at you, you think your pretty tough huh?"
Being 9 when this came out I was absolutely blown away playing this.
I remember i got this game in 7th grade (2004) and i was suspended for a week from school so i was putting HOURS into this game. Truly revolutionary after playing spiderman 1
This is a great game man I had fun every moment playing this game even the pizza delivery missions
8:58 don't be sad you have us bro we love the same things you do we'll always be here as long as you are
I remember doing a decent amount of jumps in a row without swinging (reason why not sure) but there was the over voice cut in saying this 'So what are you doing in a Spider-Man game and not using web swinging? This is Spider-Man not (another super hero)!' I will not forget that about this game.
3:39 so nostalgic I miss my GameCube days
THANK YOU for talking about the PSP version. I felt like I was the only one who actually loved that version as a kid coming off spiderman 1
I've seen The Distillers live in 2019! That's dope they are in the booklet lol
The stairstep attack move is also my favorite move on this
I love your Spider-Man hoodie it's great
7:27 yes please cover both x-men legends 1 & 2 also the X-men origins wolverine game and high moons Deadpool game
It still amazes me when I think about how this game set the standard for what people expect a Spider-Man game to be! It’s an experience I’ll always be grateful for! … Now, can someone please tell me the name of that orchestral version of the Spider-Man theme that plays at the beginning?! 😂Lol I’d really appreciate it!👍
I used to love opening the game and reading the manual in the car while trying not to get it dirty from fast food
This game is awesome. I played so much of this as a kid.
I was DEADASS saying "i bet he's gonna talk about the stairstep move" that was also my favorite move. Even tho i never could pull it off. But i could wallrun. Wallrunning after accidentally swinging into a wall takes A BIT of finesse 😂😂😂
This game on PS2, Xbox, and GameCube had an awards stat mechanic which was something like being the first ever Achievements list for a game.
The voice acting of random npcs were legendary
"GET A JOB!!!"
"YO SPIDEY!"
@@retrorebound8887 "Spidey! Hey Spidey! You the man"
Tobey Mcguire "No you the man!"
@@pizzagamecube2564 "If you only knew!"
@@retrorebound8887 okay one more I just remembered
Hostage "If I could just reach my utility belt"
Armed thug "Whateva!"
the coolest late game upgrade ability in spiderman 2 on gc/ps2 was the ability to tie enemies to the street light i used to dick around and hit them while they were tied to the street light honestly i need to check out the psp version soon
FINALLY someone respects the PSP game! The last time I heard anyone talking about it on YT they only called it a slog.
I remember getting my sister's husband to beat the Vulture for me back in 2009 because he was a gamer, only for him to get stuck too.
Now they are divorced and he is refusing to pay ailments for his daughter, and he even called her a crybaby when he took her to the movies last week, but that's another story.
It was… for its time. Tried going back to this a couple years ago it’s honestly rough. It doesn’t hold up very well. Even the web swinging. I’m sure it was groundbreaking for it’s time but many other spider man games took that and improved it an example would be 2018 spiderman ps4.
14:15 Mane you got wrecked hard ouch!
I loved the sprint button and the web swinging. The double web slingshot is a gimmick, but its still cool. Also, in this game, there is fall damage and therefore can die from it. In the recent Spider-man, there's no fall damage. My little pet peeve for the recent Spider-man 😅
The Sprint Button is a great mechanic. Sure, you are tapping or holding it near constantly as you play, but I love the way it gives you both multiple jump arcs and just more precise control of what you want to do
@@DestinySpider Yeah like doing a small forward leap or a giant one. So fun if done right. Also swinging can go faster too(which new Spider-man didn't have as well I think 😅)
This game was truly special. Loved it.
Bro!!!😂😂 don’t forget
“Looks like the freak wants to play”
😂😂😂💀
Love this game . Open world and you truly get to be Spider-Man
This game was great at the time. It's aged pretty hard but I had a lot of fun with it. I do remember the hilarious repeating pizza boy rescue side mission. How many pizza boys need rescuing?!
I played both the PS2 version and the Gameboy version. The Gameboy version was a lot of fun too, but I played it after I beat the PS2 version as a kid so I only really played it a few times😂
A1 editing on this video 🙏
This game is truly amazing, tho i've always preferred the web swinging in Web of shadows, you could fly through the city
You can sprint on walls by holding Right trigger and holding the wall crawling button
Love all spidermen games, good or bad! Please do Ultimate Spiderman for ps2 next ❤️
The craziest thing about this game and me is I remember loving it and it being one of my favorite games of all time. But I kid you not I never even beat the first pizza mission. I would literally just swing around and beat up people and use the helicopters to get to the Statue of Liberty. That's all I did in the game I never experienced the story cuz I could never beat that first Pizza Mission
Salutations Mr Matty!! 🎯
I remember I had to trade this game in so I could get ultimate Spider-Man and I cried tears all the way until I put in ultimate Spider-Man I love both of those games dearly and to this day still my favorite superhero
I remember I was about 10-11 years old when I first played this at a friend's house, and instantly went to buy it myself later. One of the best games I have ever played compared to it's respective time. Even 2-3 years later I would come home from school and turn it on and just swing around in New York.
I would write down all the combos (which were so many for its time) with pen and paper and have it in front of me while playing as they were impossible to remember by heart, and try them out while fighting bad guys.
Hang bad guys off of light poles, off of roof tops, punching combos, etc.
No game has made me think "this game is standing out so much" more than SM2. Whatever has come close to me was Batman Arkham City, but I feel that game was again so similar to SM2. Same goes for Marvel's Spider Man. There's too many similarities to SM2 2004, which makes them not feel that different. You can literally see the fundamentals in so many super hero games today being inspired by SM2.
Happy I got to play this as a kid when it was new.
Do Batman arkham origins , that game with christopher drakes score and the snowy gotham just hits different , not to mention the first encounter of batman and the joker is peak voice acting
I have the Xbox version. I got it out because of this video. Still has the receipt from BestBuy in it dated 6/29/04 (it's so faded I can barely read it). The receipt is a bit sparkly (like glitter) for some reason.
Dang. I remember my dad buying my older cousin this game back in 2004 or when it just came out and every store had lots of them. Good times 😭
