What's the worst Spider-Man game you’ve ever played? Chances are, you said The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Now, what's the worst Spider-Man movie you’ve ever seen? Uh oh, that’s a pattern. Nearly everything tied to The Amazing Spider-Man 2 was a disaster, and while the discussions of the movie's good and bad aspects have been talked about at length online, The video game never got the same attention, at least, not the attention it was looking for. Yea, this game was panned heavily on release, and I want to find out why. I have a soft spot for this game because, for years, this was the only Spider-Man game I could play on my PS4, as I sold my PS3, and my other Spider-Man games, to get said PS4, which does mean I sort of had to like it at the time. But, now I have access to a ton of great Spider-Man games, so I can look at the game with a critical lens.
So, I want to answer; was The Amazing Spider-Man 2 good, if so or if not, then why? Or perhaps, should you buy it? Well I can answer that one for free; no, because you can’t buy it. Activision did not renew the licence for their Spider-Man games, meaning any old Spider-Man game needs to be bought physically, or you gotta sail the high seas. Now, we would never condone piracy here on the That Boy Aqua channel, but I can say that purchasing these games through classified vendors is extremely easy, except for The Amazing Spider-Man 2, and I think this says a lot about the games reputation. Many of these vendors have mission objectives along the lines of wanting to preserve abandoned games so they aren’t lost to time, and yet, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is a tough find. So basically, these websites are saying we want to preserve video games, but not this one, cause this one sucks. Well, does The Amazing Spider-Man 2 suck? I mean, sort of, but it's more complicated than that.
Before we get too ahead of ourselves, I have to mention that while you may seem stuttering or performance issues here I don’t want to hold it against the game, because there's a good chance that I’m not playing the most up-to-date version, as when purchasing the game through aforementioned vendors, you can’t always get an update. I can in good faith assume that performance issues, of which there were plenty, are likely fixed, but no amount of patches, plastic surgery, or even paper bags could fix the monstrosities on display. This is what most astounds me about The Amazing Spider-Man 2; it looks worse than the first game! How, the heck, does that happen? Keep in mind, The Amazing Spider-Man one released on the previous console generation, and while it too had some questionable art decisions, the massive phone for a minimap that takes up what feels like half the screen was a head scratcher, but genuinely everything here looks worse.
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is a movie unlike any other and The Amazing Spiderman 2 game is much the same. A sequel to The Amazing Spider-Man movie, not The Amazing Spiderman game, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 in 2024 is regarded as one of the worst Spider-Man games ever. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 game was panned upon release, and considered worse than The Amazing Spider-Man game that came before it. After Marvel's Spider-Man 2, looking at The Amazing Spider-Man 2 years later is a sobering experience in terms of realising how good we have it. The not so Amazing Spider-Man 2 is something I planned to look at with more depth. I intended for this The Amazing Spider-Man 2 critique, part of my ongoing Spider-Man retrospective, to be really positive. The That Boy Aqua Spider-Man videos have generally been positive ones, and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Game was supposed to follow this trend, but alas, TASM 2 the movie and TASM 2 Game have a lot in common in terms of quality. This The Amazing Spider-Man 2 review aims to explore that.

that's actually a pretty nice deal tbh
Fun fact: this game has a cameo in across the spider verse. The uncle ben death scene pops up in the scene where miguel is explaining the canon
I caught that 1st watch, as terrible as the game was it was nice to see it get acknowledged like that.
@@derrickdaniels3955yea true I was like "I understood that reference" when seeing The Amazing Spider-Man 2 ps4 game.
Lmao
@@MikloelChivo0901 I was like "ain't no way"
I remember seeing that.
the menace system in this game is genuinely waccc
Yeah, man. I couldn't relax in free roam without worrying about my rep going down.
u not a crip stop overly using c's
@@BatmanfrmDaXhe never said he was 😭
I liked it because it fits how in the cartoons and comics he’s a menace to some citizens because of j Jonah’s writing and podcasts so your rep matters
@@BatmanfrmDaX bruh 💀 this is a spider man video essay. chill lmao
Man, I remember having tons of fun playing Amazing Spider-Man 1 and 2 back in the day. I even liked the damn movies.
Oh, the nostalgia...
Same
Same page here
the first one isn’t really that bad of a story or game but the mechanics are trash
The first one was better for me the second one was meh when I first played it back then
Movies was absolutely trash
Harry literally dying while Peter just gives him a pep talk☠️😂
It's like he want him to shut up but he can't speak 😂
This game was actually the very first game I played on my Xbox 360 when I was 8, and the first game I rebought and played on the PS4 when I was 11. Still cant believe I bought this game twice and finished it twice.
I still remember kid me grinding for all the skins, grinding to keep my good karma, and constantly going back and fourth from Aunt May's house to change the time and my suit every five minutes.
The only other Spider-Man game I had to compare this to were the Spider-Man games on mobile, so I thought this was a masterpiece back then. It may be crap, but its still very special to me.
Assolute right, dear friend!!
Bruh we have the same childhood, I also got this as my first Xbox 360 game😂😂
Agreed Friendo.
Same here, one thing I love the most is the soundtrack, especially the quiet versions of the main theme, this game was bad but special for some people
@@juliorodriguez9746yeah, the musicians fr thought that they were doing this for a movie.
I remember hating this game so much back in the day. Mainly as I was shot and killed by the task force every 2 seconds. Great video.
Imagine hating a game after getting shot every two seconds 🤣
do a video on tasm 1 or 2 game in 2024
Skill issue
so skill issue? LOL
i watched radbrads entire playthrough of this game. i thought it was a masterpiece. it was essentially the first spiderman game i was exposed to before all the good ones.
crazy how far we've come.
Heyyyyy, same here! I can't believe I forgot that I watched his series on it! Still love watching his vids!
it had a great story. watching it was fun, but I think playing was something else.
I personally enjoyed the game at the time. After playing Insomniac’s Spider-Man games would I say it holds up? Definitely not, but I can’t bring myself to hate the game.. only thing that really annoyed me was how stiff it felt and the menace system. I’ve always loved TASM whether it be the movies or the games.
It’s a decent Spider Man game for those who don’t have the PS4/PS5 versions.
when i was binging all your spider-man videos i wondered why you never covered tasm 2. let’s go!
Funny enough, I can occasionally see a copy sold at certain GameStop locations.
Same actually lol
"By the time The Amazing Spider-Man came out, we hadn't received a widely praised Spider-Man game since Ultimate"
Shattered Dimensions, by the same developer:
And certain people say Marvel's Spider-Man 2 was rushed but had 5 years after the first game to be developed. While TASM 2 game had 2 years after the first to be made. I won't be ungrateful for Insomniac for actually putting effort into their games unlike to Activision's latest games.
Id take SM 2 over this game everytime
Extra Hint: If you wish to explore the city while worrying less about the Hero/Menace system, put on the Vigilante Suit, level it up to the max, and with its Heroic Bonus, the meter will decrease slower and gain Heroic points faster.
I solve this problem by playing a good spiderman game
@@Brooksey1992 Fair enough, but for anyone who wants to grab the comic pages, swing around, or look for the audio logs, I think it helps a little 🥲
Except there's fucking nothing to explore the city is so dead and the swinging is so clunky
@@ashwath5733 Absolutely true, but if someone wishes to collect all the audio logs or comic pages this helps a little. I know the game isn't good, but some people may find this hint useful :)
Does anyone remember when Spiderman would make some dance moves each time you changed suits? I loved it.
I used to think The Amazing Spider-Man 1 and 2 were the apex of Spider-Man games, but after I played Marvel's Spider-Man 1 and 2 my eyes were finally opened.
I played both TASM games on my PS3 and I gotta say: Even though they were both mediocre, they were still REALLY fun. And, honestly, they had some positive points: The Stealth mechanics, the variety of crimes, the underground scenarios, the Boss Battles, the suits in your closet, etc...
With that said, I finish this comment by saying: Despite the fact that both TASM games are obviously rushed games, they will always have a special place in my heart.
PS: I'd prefer going after the Platinum of both TASM games than playing that garbage Miles Morales game!
Idk why anyone would want to play as miles morales, its something marvel just never should of done in the comics to begin with, spider man is Peter parker
@@NomadH02 You just took the word outta my mouth, bro.
No one wanted that worthless brat on Spidey's shadow! Just like you said: Peter Parker is the ONLY and the BEST Spider-Man.
I always liked the left trigger for left hand swing and right trigger for right hand swing, I was 13 the last time I played this game but that was the most memorable part of it. Well that and the dbz ki blasts you get later in the game😂
So funny thing, it may look like webs attached to buildings but they still reach out to the sky. They just pivoted the web line to look like it will attach to buildings
I love TASM2 film. Worst Spider-Man film is definitely Far From Home doesn’t even feel like a Spider-Man film imo
same
Agreed. It's the most Spider-Man of the live action films. Spider-Verse is the best IMO, but live action goes to TASM 2. It's the closest to comic Spidey we've ever gotten in live action.
Tom Holland's spider man is like that 1 intern who always gets the extra task left out by his boss(Tony Stark),in homecoming it was OK but the over dependence of tom's villains being influenced by Tony really felt forced,like just because mysterio hates tony stark,peter got a villain,even in no way home his villains are nostalgia based,MCU spider man doesn't have a single emotional connection with any villain unlike other spider man which makes it a bit bland imo.
I didn't want to hate on any of the movies, so spider man lotus came in clutch
@@AntsTheaterCorner2698 yikes TASM 2 is still the most dog trash spidey film of THEM all, just because it's comic accurate doesn't mean the writing is decent. Say what you want to say about Mad Max Furorisa, like it doesnt have the same level of visual appeal as its predecessor, BUT it is nevertheless a well-written movie, therefore it's a good film even though its flopped at the box office.if you goes by your low ass standards of watching film based on comic accuracy then "Let There Be Carnage" is a masterwork at that; everything about it is comic accurate. It's an incredible feat to adapt Spider-Man stories without Spider-Man and make them work.
Only a few minutes in but I gotta say, the only thing that I still wish Spidey games would adapt and refine from this game is the double trigger swinging. I always thought it was so cool to choose which hand to shoot my webs from. Made me feel very immersed and like I had more control over which direction I wanted to go, and I feel like insomniacs Spider-Man games could desperately use this because the amount of times I want to go towards and around a building to my left only for it to auto shoot to the right and make it look and feel super awkward is insane. The best thing about it is if they incorporated this they could easily have it be a toggleable feature in the menu just like some of the swing assist settings they put in 2.
Nah
Dude you put so much effort into your work and it shows. You’re definitely on of my favorite content creators. I hope that you have a great day and that your happy with your life
The only positive I can say is that the combat is better than people make it out to be. If you time your taps right instead of button mashing, you'll do more powerful and advanced combat just like in the Arkham games. TASM 1 doesn't have the same level of depth in combat but I still prefer that game overall. Also I'm pretty sure the game doesn't even tell you about the button timing outside of a loading screen lmao
This is very unpopular, but ever since Spider-Man 2018, I just wanted so bad for insomniac to try to replicate this web-swinging system. It's not great. Hell, it's not good. But I've never been so immersed in a spider-man game as I was with the dual trigger system, and the cool dynamic animations for the web rush.
I am a disproud owner of the dlc and base game of the Amazing Spider-Man 2 on Steam.
Fun fact, this game was preparing the 3rd game with the Sinister Six formed by:
Vulture,Hobglobin or Green Globin/Harry,Rhino,Doctor Octopus,Sandman and Mysterio Being led by the Chameleon and Wilson Fisk/Kingpin and there are villains who were arrested by police officer Jeandewolf and they exist in this universe are they:
The Hood,The Rose,The Enforcers and Big Man/Crime Master
and a curiosity about the two games:
It was for the Wolf-Man,Morbius,Doctor Octopus,Vulture and Kraven It was for him appear In the first game and Kraven would hunt all those creatures that we fight that are classic villains in this game but they are hideous horror creatures even so this idea went into the second game in Kraven's mansion but with few villains
In the game the amazing Spiderman 2 Morbius and his gang of vampires would appear but were deleted Several others villains exist in this universe that have not yet been shown as:
Wolf-Man,Morbius,Hydro-Man and The Hammerhead vs Mister Negative the Gang War that Shocker says in one of the lines that they hate each other and are trying to kill each other and finally the Venom being the final boss of the 3rd game alongside the Sinister Six Based on Andrew Garfield's Movies from an alternate universe Being the end of the game trilogy With Venom alongside several villains That exist in this universe and were not placed and used yet.. They left it for a sequel that will never happen.. To close this Saga unfortunately very sad.. Who knew that? and wanted All these things and one more game? 🤔🥺😭😔🤧 like and Bye!
Someone finally shares the same amount of love for the vigilante suit as much as I do. I spent the whole game in that suit when i played on the wii u
And how sometimes the soundtrack just got the regular theme in the background for serious moments 😂
Any one else think it’s weird that between the 2 tasm games on console, we got carnage before venom?
I think is hilarious how they adapt perfectly the way the first film is REALISTIC and all the villains from the 1° game are hybrid animals
And then this game is exactly the opposite just like the 2nd movie 😂😂😂
Movie is still better in every way a solid 7.5 not even the worst spidey movie is truly bad
For me, the Amazing Spider-Man 2 game and film are still better than the Spider-Man 3 game and film.
how can u say something so right but yet so controversial lol.
The true definition of a sigma 😢
Yeah...no
@@TrumpsLawyerr Yeah.. yes
I actually liked this game when I played it cause it was the newest Spider-Man game at the time. Also the fact I couldn't really play TASM1 because my PC couldn't handle it or the game would crash after the first giant spider boss fight. I still never finished it. It was surprising to me how well TASM2 ran. I guess the graphical downgrade was worth it when you consider that.
Game-wise I still had fun with it but I don't think I considered it better than Web of Shadows or even Spider-Man 3 which I also loved.
I too have the same soft spot for this and TASM1, cus I couldn't/still can't afford a PS4 growing up so I played this and TASM1 so much on my Xbox 360
Maybe include Ultimate Spider-Man on PS2 as well
The TASM2 game was the first Spider-Man game I played, and I still love it
6:57 he looks like Asajj Ventress Star wars the clone wars (as soon as I saw the face I immediately saw the similarities)
It's kind of crazy how much the insomniac games took from this one, but just made everything better. Like it reuses a lot of the same mechanics as this one like swinging people to an ambulance and car chase stopping. It just makes it all 100% better. 😅😅
Not this one, they took notes from Web of Shadows, Shattered Dimensions, Edge of Time, TASM1.
The worst Spider-Man game is Spider-Man 3 for PS3 and Xbox 360. TASM2 Game isn't good but I'd rather replay this game 2 times over than to ever touch the Spidey 3 game.
Edit: Man after watching this video, I have a question. Why did I originally like this game when it came out? I guess because I was younger and was still on a Spider-Man high after the second TASM came out and I wanted this game as a birthday gift. I realize now that this game makes me wanna play Web of Shadows and Edge of Time instead. And I don't like either of those games(Web of Shadows has more bright spots tho), but they are better Spidey gaming experiences than this ever was.
Still can't believe that the first Spider-Man game I played just became 10 years old now. I was 5 when I played it now that I'm becoming 15, it makes me wanna go back to play it again
Nothing like going to a marker on your map only to find two dudes posted up in an alley
One thing this game has going for is an infinite stan lee cameo
I still own this game for ps4 and enjoyed it quite a bit when I played it years ago.
I loved the game since I was playing it on the WiiU when I was a kid, I still have the game, spiderman 3 and web of shadows. Personally out of the three Web of Shadows was my favorite.
To this day, it’s the only spider-man game I haven’t platinum’d whether it be on ps3 or ps4. I’ve been tempted to purchase it solely to platinum it and keep my streak, but it’s so damn grindy that I don’t know if I can bring myself to do it.
Getting the suits to max level was the most painful trophy, it took so many hours. Collecting the comic books was extremely boring but they're not that hard to find as they show up as white dots on the map.
Good thing I was able to play this as a kid, despite the flaws, this game still has a place in my heart.
This is the first Spider-Man game I’ve ever played because back then this is the only Spider-Man game I could play.
As a new content creator, it's a genuine question. Do you not need to credit the music you use in your videos ? Such as the very common use of Persona 5's ost in your videos ?
Also great vid.
9:51 Sick
I seem to remember the swinging mechanics were good in this
This game was my childhood,i decided to replay it last year since i still had the physical media and i was extremely disappointed on how i liked this as a child.
Even tho tasm2 game was mid it did randomly have amazing moments to it that insomniac spm doesn’t even have. Being able to sling shot WHILE web swinging ( like spm 2 PS2) was cool, using the left and right triggers to web swing was cool, having a combat arena (even tho it was pretty basic but I wish spm2 PS5 had a combat arena), some crimes like burning buildings and car chases are better than the ones in spm2 ps5. Otherwise tho it’s still mid at best.
Agreed, even though SM2 PS5 is goated, TASM 2 also has some finishers and stealth that are better then Insomniac games
Released on 360/ps3 too.
I liked that game, not love, but liked. I think I liked it more than TASM1. The thing that pushed me over the egde and made me delete the game was the hero-menace system. Sometimes I just wanted to swing around and I couldn't because that task force or whatever it is would chase me around, unless I do the repetitive crime activities. I remember even searching for mods that would turn this off.
The Game doesn't actually have You stick to the Building swhen swinging. The Game just checks to see If You are at a certain height below the Buildings. If You go to Central Park and swing, You will see that the Webs don't attach to any of the Trees.
The Swinging also lacks any kind of Physics because as soon as You stop swinging, Spider-Man will fall like Spider-Rock.
While the first Amazing Spider-Man Game tried to tell Its own Story, this Game was forced to follow along the really mediocre Movie and, If I recall, Beenox weren't supposed to giveaway the Ending that Gwen had died so She wasn't allowed to appear like with what happened with the previous Game mentioning Captain Stacey's death at the end of the first Amazing Spider-Man Movie.
ok hold on I actually really loved TASM 2 the movie, I hate the first one, I understand it wasn't paced very well but it was very fun to watch on top of that its still the best live action spiderman suit to date imo
i haven’t watched this vid yet but came here to tell you how much i love that you acknowledge listening to these vids to sleep or grind to.
Also playable on my Wii U
The first TASM game lives in my head rent free. I loved the camera, and the hollering while swinging made me really happy in a sense, sometimes I did holler with Spidey. I enjoyed swinging around New York. Hopefully the newer games will implement some hollering, even as an optional thing.
Oh boy I was waiting on this one lmao
Great vid!
I remember to avoid that hero and menace system i would just reload a mission and swing around without doing the obj lmao
I didn’t even know this game was a thing
I always liked that left and right hand swing was on the triggers shame insomniac didn’t bring this one over. I think this game has the best web swinging after Spiderman 2.
probably an unpopular opinion but i highly disagree that Tasm 2 is the worst spider man movie. Andrews Spider man actually feels like spider man in terms of his quips and humor, imo far from home is the worst one. also the Mcu spider-man has some of the worst action and visuals of any spider-man movie
also im not saying that the writing isnt dog shit in tasm 2 because it is and the script is terrible but to me the movie was enjoyable simply because of the swinging, action and humor also that ending was one of the most brutal, tragic and emotional things ive witnessed from a spider-man movie, and for what andrew was given he had an amazing performance even with the shitty script. but Tom Hollands spider-man has virtually no swinging and boring action and you feel disconnected from the movie the entire time and its hard to get immersed when flash randomly pops up and acts like the biggest douche bag when he himself is a loser, at least in tasm flash acts like a real human, mcu flash is just in the movies way more than he needs to be. and not to hate on tom Holland but he just takes me out of all the emotional scenes, for aunt mays death i lowkey laughed because of how shit his acting was in that scene
@@ConstantAce agreed brother. TASM 2 is only missing a good plot but everything else is good and also remove Rhino and save Green Goblin for the future. It's flawed but the good outweighs the bad. Tom Holland's overrated, his only best one is No Way Home.
@@Shahriyararin63It's a classic Spider-Man story that uses multiple characters and plot threads as a jumping point for its aesthetic. The film basically has this borrowed approach, in this case borrowing from multiple Spider-Man comics. It's like multiple comics put together in one film. Not everyone's Spider-Man, but it's the style of storytelling it was clearly going for.
@@AntsTheaterCorner2698 true but like they should have picked one and not focus too much on teasing the future
@@Shahriyararin63 That's Sony. Good thing Miles Morales will finish his trilogy in what could be the greatest animated film trilogy of all time.
This was my first spiderman game
When I was a kid i loved TASM2 movie, cried when Gwen died and I have enjoyed a LOT playing TASM2 game. IMO It's one of the greatiest Spidey games ever made. Still like it and don't understand such criticism. #MakeTASM3
Love that Alex webb reference 😂😂😂
Happy 10th Anniversary The Amazing Spider-Man 2 video game.
i loved playing this game, it was fun, yes the reputation thing in spiderman is annoying but playing the game and using the cosmetics and doing story was so fun.
I still have this game but you know I really like the swing with both triggers
did you know where i can download this
@@mono3265 sorry I have the disc
I smacked my phone so fast when I got this notification, woohoo new That Boy Aqua vid!
The amazing Spider-Man 2 and Spider-man 3 were my childhood Spiderman games and i replay to this day. 3 iv never liked as a kud cause i always died due to a massive skill issue, but tasm 2 was my favourite spider-man game and i enjoy it to this day despite its many faults
Electros face in the thumbnail looks like he’s about to hit Critical Nut mass
Insomniac needs to take notes from the crimes in this game cause Spider-Man 2’s crime system is so ass. Like every crime is just fighting a group of enemies and that’s it or finding a car and pressing 2 buttons to stop it. They need to add more stuff like saving people from fires, saving hostages stealthily, store/bank robberies, bombs threats, kidnappings, car chases involving skill not a qte, crimes in buildings which you can freely enter, maybe some minor D-tier villains with boss fights or chases,
20:36 had me dead🤣🤣🤣
I would love to see a video on "X2 Wolverines Revenge." I feel like im the only person I knew who played it, but it was such a unique wolverine experience. Especially in the ps2 era.
9:52 that was incredibly clean wow
I have this game for my old xbox this is probably gonna be the only Spider-Man game that’s on Xbox
TASM 2 is my favorite just bc electro is such a good villain imo
I've been playing through the PC version on my Steam Deck and it's not that bad. The only real issues are the bugs and the hero/menace system. The rest is just mediocre or the few high points. The swinging isn't amazing but is a unique and fun system regardless. And it looks great on the smaller screen with the graphics cranked and still runs at a locked 30 fps (60 only works with Vsync turned off, but it was 30 fps on Xbox 360 so I don't care tbh). I main the Edge of time suit, a texture mod for the Miles suit, that looks absolutely amazing
TASM 2 the movie isn’t even bad. It is the only movie that did Spider-Man humor and charisma well, and it is by far the best looking Spider-Man movie with the best action and swinging. The main characters are the best adaptations of these characters on the big screen. Peter and Gwen are near perfect. Gwen’s death is handled phenomenally, with the clock tower serving as obvious symbolism and also just a beautiful spot for a fight scene. Gwen’s speech at the end is amazing. The villains hardly hurt the movie. It’s like Iron man 1 like at the end the villain just turns fucking mentally insane and is willing to just kill whoever, but in TASM there’s more reason for the villain to be crazy (he’s using some shit that makes him crazy 😮). The stupid ass final battle in Iron man 1 doesn’t ruin all the great character work in that movie and it doesn’t ruin the character work in TASM 2 either.
This was the second Spider-Man game I ever played, and the only one I had for a while on Xbox. I definitely wear rose-colored glasses when looking back on it
This is hands down the worst Spider-Man game I have ever played. The Hero/Menace system is so horrifyingly bad that it overshadows anything good about this game. On paper it is not a bad idea, BUT the way it is implemented is just awful. It doesn't really become a nightmare until those soldier guys come into the picture.
You have to respond to alerts and complete them successfully in order to keep your hero meter up. However, the alerts pop up so frequently and go away so quickly that you really have to devote all your time to keep it up and even then it is hard to keep up with all the alerts. There is a suit that helps with hero meter gain, but one thing I don't want out of my Spider-Man game is to be forced to wear a particular suit because the Hero/Menace mechanic hates when you do things like try to have fun. God forbid I just want to swing through New York without being harassed.
Hearing Aqua saying that the game is hard to finds just reminded me that I have the game downloaded on my old pc for nearly 5 years now!!!
This was the only Spider-Man game I had until 2018 😭 Even growing up i could never play this game for long as I had the Arkham games and lego games as a kid, so I never had too much enjoyment playing this. Thats said...I have nostalgia. I dont like the game, but I also can't hate it because it was the only Spider-Man experience I had for SO LONG. It's also why I probably like Batman a little more than the wall crawler
Damn, I love talking about Spider-Man to Persona 5 music
funnily enough. my local library has a copy of this.
I don't know why they didn't do with what they did with the first game by having it take place after the movie, it would've been so cool to see Peter go through hunting Ben's killer, taking on Cletus Kassidy & Kraven with both of them trying to convince you to kill with Peter still suffering from Gwen's death.
Hell, they could've opened the game right after the movie with Spider-man fighting Rhino! But instead we get a game that as NO connection to the movie, even Ben's death is different, at least with the first game I could see it as a sequel to TASM1 but I just can't with this one
I don’t think you’re giving this game enough credit for how big of an achievement it was to have webs actually stick to the buildings you’re swinging from instead of in the air. Plus the web - dash mechanic hadn’t been used until this game.
I remember absolutely LOVING this game
I remember, when i was younger, being confused how people thought older games had looked good at the time. Now? I remember this game looking a loooooot better than it actually does. Im getting that from a lot of early-mid 8th gen games. Pain. Im getting old.
this was my first modern spiderman that i ever played which started my journey to play all of em
I have the honor of not only owning this game physically, but owning it on the even more extinct version on Xbox...with all the updates installed. I may be a potential target in a world ending setting because of this fact unfortunately. How can you ever survive without TASM2 on the Xbox One?
When I played Marvel Spiderman 2 and quite frankly it was a better version of The Amazing spiderman 2. While the game was a mess I still really enjoy it
I had so much appreciation for Insomniac's Spider Man but then I found out this game existed.
I also used to like this game back when it came out when I was in middle school, but eventually grew to realize how bad it was. I won't deny that the game is nostalgic to me though.
such a shame activision pressed marvel to make new spiderman games rather than being grateful they were interested in re-releasing old ones. we could have seen remastered or maybe even remakes of some of the lesser spiderman games. maybe with some welcomed improvements
Personally, i never played the second game, but i have played the first one and i absolutely loved it when i was younger
I like two think the whole menace systems is supposed two give you one of the things that spider man has two deal with, and that's the ridiculous amount of things Peter has two do in his life of being spider man, Peter (in most stores and games) wants two do good he wants two do as much as possible two make his city, the world, and everyone safe, he does so much that he exhausts himself so much, I think that's what the system is for, two make you see what Peter has two go though in his spiderman life, and the struggles he has two do to save people, and it gives the player a glimpse of the responsibilities Spider-Man has, if that makes sense
I remember my lil bro getting this game and being so excited to play it, he even finished it in a couple days. This was one of the few games I couldn’t finish. Something bout the web swinging really irked me and I couldn’t bother after a few hours lol
This game isn't that bad. It just has little that makes it special.
Not much in the way of memorable fights or cut scenes.
The stealth was okay.
So were some of the suits.
Love the persona music
I loved TASM 1&2, both the games and films
I know they're bad but I love them
6:40 I’m just walkin’ ere
