Summary

Game Description

Two years have passed since Peter Parker first hit the streets of New York City as the conflicted crime-fighter Spider-Man. Now he finds himself battling his most diabolical villain yet, the mechanized, multi-tentacled Doc Ock.

The nefarious Doc Ock was once Dr. Otto Octavius, a brilliant nuclear physicist. But a freak accident transformed him from a timid researcher to a criminally insane megalomaniac who blames Spider-Man for his horrible transformation. Now the scientist Peter once idolized for his remarkable intellect has marked our web-slinger for death.

Experience total freedom as you soar through the concrete canyons of a living, breathing Manhattan, complete with familiar landmarks and bustling, traffic-clogged streets. True non-linear gameplay means you can web-swing wherever you like, whenever you like, exploring the vast metropolis and reliving scenes from the Spider-Man 2 movie. Combat petty thugs and aid NYC citizens in challenging side-quests, or pursue the lunatic Doc Ock and other classic Spider-Man rivals.

The decision is yours.

A good Game

Pros Cons
Loads of content Poor storytelling

This was a great game that makes excellent use of a non-linear story line. Allowing the player to explore the entirety of New York City, while scattering random mini-game-esque throughout the map, making the exploration of the map not only fun, but eventful as well. The upgrade system was also very interesting, earning points for all events, story line advancements and random encounters and buying the upgrades made the earning of new techniques very enjoyable. While the story line leaves a little to be desired, the expansive map more than makes up for it. And hooray for the web swinging!

Go get 'em tiger!

You've seen Spider-Man 2 on the big screen, now be him on your screen. It's Spider-Man as you never seen him before. He a free roaming in New York City. Story - 4.0 It based on the movie's storyline in Spider-Man 2 but with more to do. Spider-Man patrols the city from saving citizens to stopping robbers while living a normal life. It seems like Spider-Man never sleeps. It turns into night and day with Parker trying get the girl, Mary Jane Watson, and keeping up with school while crime fighting. Then while Dr. Otto Octavius is trying to create cheap source of energy, an terrible accident happens...You know the rest. Gameplay - 3.5 A repitive style gameplay with Spider-Man swing from building to building fighting crime with the occansional storyline gameplay coming along when the mission objective are complete. Also you learn and buy new fighting techniques from the comicbook shop. Graphics. 3.25 - Not all that stunning graphics, but they do the job. Although Blackcat looks disturbingly wierd. Overall - 3.75 A memorable game for Spider-Man 2 with it's free roaming feature to it's extent of the city. If you like Spider-Man, you may want to pick this up. Offers a lot of hours to complete the entire game.

WHAT R U DOIN'

HEY....THOSE VERSION OF THIS AMAZING GAME ARE THE WORST I THINK THAT THE BEST ONE IS THE NINTENDO'S ONE THE XBOX HASN'T A GOOD CONTROLLER AND PLAY 2 HAS THE WORST GRAPHICS...SO THE WINNER IS THE GAMECUBE

2 words web slinging

This game is awsome! The webslinging is amazing! I love that you can fight classic charecters aside from fighting Doc Ock. The free-roam as an awsome addition to the game and you will find your self looking for the biggest building to jump off of. I highly recommend this game to everyone!

Spidey is the King

This game is the sure winner for Action game of the year. I don't know why my fellow readers didn't agree. They chose a different game, that was not as good. This game features such good stuff, like over 15 different minigfames you can play at any time you want. You can also fly all over Manhatten, with more than 10 hours of exploring time. A personal favorite trick is to go to the tippy point of the Crysthler Building and swan dive and web at the last second. The graphics are good, but same lame puns are thrown in during battle. My favorite bttle move is tying people up to a lamppost. This game also allows 15 chapters of gameplay, with over 25 quests and special moves to buy. So all those Spidey fans should check out this game, as it's twice as good as the first game.
