I have been playing the Spider-Man 2 game for the last couple of days and I am enjoying it greatly. I have already beaten the main storyline and I guess I am just going around the city looking for hidden stuff.
The gameplay is very much improved from the first movie game. In fights you have a much larger variety of moves(most have to be bought) and techniques. In a fight you have a spider sense which allows you to dodge attacks as well as a slow motion mode which I haven't really mastered but allows you to do more powerful attacks.
The webslinging is a true masterpiece. Now you need to be within reach of something tall to websling(I think there is an easier webslining mode that is like other spider-man games and you don't) and Treyarch or whoever made this game have crafted a HUGE city where that is no problem. Going arcoss the city would probably take a few minutes and max speed. While websling you can increase speed and super jump to create rather beautiful looking moves. It is a true representation of movie Spider-man. Hopefully between this game and the next movie's game they will create a comic book based Spider-man game using the same engine and give Spidey some more Todd Macfarlane-esque webslinging poses.
There is a bit of repetition on the small missions you activate where you help everyday people. The options are; - help someone who is about to fall - take someone to the hospital - stop and armored car robbery - traps set up by random thugs - help people from a sinknig boat - stop a car chase/carjacking/shootout
then there are crimes/tasks that randomly like purse snatchers, a ballon floats away from a child(the voice actor for the child is ANNOYING) and random thugs.
After doing some of these missions a dozen or so times gets tiresome.
Throughout the city are hundreds of secret tokes. Some 150 for Skyscrapers, 40 or so for thug hideouts, and 200 or so hintmarkers and Bruce Campbell is back as the training dude.
I recommend this game to any spidey fan, but for someone who isn't they might get tired afer beating the storymode since it seems all that there is left to do is deliver pizzas, find tokens, and take pictures for the Bugle.

You got me excited about the game G5. I think I'll try it out.

I think some of the music is from the ripped from the soundtrack of the movie. That Danny Elfman Orchestra stuff, but there is only music every now and then while you are webslining. I think there is some upbeat battle music, there is some strange alien music when fighting Mysterio. I thought the soundtrack was OK, but during the end credits they have a really bad rendition of the 60's intro song.
i really wanna hear the music in this game. i heard from an inside source (was it Brent? the guy that runs their store ... ... or maybe i dreamt this) that they made up new stuff for this soundtrack. webslinging electronic action!

Amusing fact:
The PC version of the game is actually changed from the console version to be more kid-friendly, but I'm not sure of the details.
Your first clue is probably the fact that the console version is rated Teen, and the PC version is rated Everyone.

Thanks for the write-up. Normally a movie game is something to be scared of but the idea of being able to freely swing around New York sounds like fun. I'll probably have to rent the game just because the concept sounds so intriguing.
When I heard the game was going to feature a free-roaming city like GTA I wondered how much optional stuff they could stick into the game for Spider-Man to do. Fetching balloons for children who keep letting go of them [can you web the balloons to their hands to make sure they keep a grip on the things?] and hunting for tokens isn't quite the thrill a minute life of a superhero I expected. Then again, there isn't too much to do in the GTA games outside of the story missions so I guess I shouldn't expect too much.
How is the wall crawling? The constantly shifting controls in the PSX Spidey game made crawling across uneven surfaces more trouble than I really wanted. How are the boss fights? Are they still pattern based? Do you get enough webbing? I'd hate to have to be so stingy that I would have to forego swinging across town and make Spider-Man hoof it on the sidewalk.

I never played the previous Spider-man games, but this one sounds like it's really good. If it does indeed feel like a GTA-like game, it is really interesting.
Damn you Microsoft because of you I can calculate faster than my computer!

That's the main thing that I thought sounded good about this game. I was expecting to be able to do this in the first one, but not only were we restricted to whichever part of the city we were in, but you couldn't touch the ground. I could deal with "stay in this area" but I couldn't understand why we couldn't go down to the street. You had to stay pretty high up in the first one... Sounds like everything is cool in the new one, though.

Pretty interesting actually. There is a wall crawl button so, unlike the last Spider-Man games, when you are webslinging and get close to a building you don't just stick to it. While moving on a building you can charge your jump and really cover some distance. You also have the ability to run on your feet up or down a building. Its not really my preferred mode of wall scaling since it is hard to steer.
quote:How are the boss fights? Are they still pattern based?
They are so-so since the dodge button will totally make things easy for you. For one boss fight you have to push a button to lower their defense. Then there is a "boss" you really don't fight. The Doc Ock battles have a pattern of Dodge, web a tentacle(repeat for all four) and attack.

Unlimited webbing this time.

Good. I'd think the way Spider-Man's webbing works in the movies that it would be unlimited...
