Cash Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 I bought the game yesterday (for Gamecube), and it's a far cry from the first one. I really liked the first one, but this one is pretty interesting as well. It's almost more comic-bookish. Instead of different mission levels, you have chapters in which you much accomplish different goals. You get points for completing little tasks, and with these points, you can buy upgrades. The only problem I have is with the fighting style. You only have one attack button in this game, as opposed to the first, where you had kick and punch. The bright side to the attack is that you can go into "Super Spider Sense" mode in which everything slows down and your attacks are better. It's a lot like Bond Mode in the new James Bond game. This game is for PS2, X-Box, and Gamecube. That's why I put it in general discussion. If that's wrong, just move it to it's place and I'll know better next time .

Missy Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 Haven't played it yet, but I do have a free review copy (Xbox) coming shortly. It looks bad ass from what I've seen, but so did Driv3r and that's getting panned by critics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat DJ Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 BEST GAME EVAR. Seriously, if they did something like the old "Maximum Carnage" where you could play as Spiderman or Venom, and Venom could kill the streetpeople, it would easily be the best game of all time ever.

Cash Posted July 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 Ok, I now proclaim this one to be better than the first. There is so much stuff you can do in this game, it's amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Keith Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 Game looks alright, might give it a rental if Four Swords isn't at my local Blockbuster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 Bastard! I'm always looking for writers to join my PopMatters crew. The free games aren't plentiful, but it's better than nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat DJ Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 Touche, salesman. But this would mean regular commitment, and school hinders this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 Touche, salesman. But this would mean regular commitment, and school hinders this. Yes, it would. At least once a month, though every two weeks is preferred. And Sarah, the publisher, wants to start updating the Multimedia section every week, so that would mean an even bigger commitment. On topic: How does this game tie into the film? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat DJ Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 Almost directly. It adds more villains and the Black Cat to make it more interesting, but it's the same damn story, and some scenes are ripped right out of the movie.

Cash Posted July 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2004 Good review! I've finished the storyline mode and have been playing the second to last chapter for awhile now (get 50,000 hero points), and I've been having a blast. I've started looking for all the hideout tokens and everything. Now, I'm actually onl 53% of the way done with the game, so that should say how extensive the thing is. Bloody amazing stuff.

ragernok2002 Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 I was considering getting Spiderman 2 , but I have two questions, one is it worth getting and two should I get it on PS2 or PC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glen Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 I was considering getting Spiderman 2 , but I have two questions, one is it worth getting and two should I get it on PS2 or PC? The PC version is heavily stripped back, and not a patch on the console versions. Awesome game, but ludicrously difficult in places, and with 2-300 tokens to collect in order to get the 100%, they should get marked on the map as you go.

Glen Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 http://pc.ign.com/articles/528/528827p1.html?fromint=1 This guy explains it pretty nicely I think. And what's the point of being Spider-Man if you can't climb to the top of the city's buildings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you get those hint markers they should turn red, or better yet, dissapear. I bought Spiderman 2 for Xbox and it runs really well...I'd recomend that, if it's possible.

Glen Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 The hint markers and challenge markers get gold rings around them, which is something at least. I'm more pissed with the hideout and buoy tokens. I've lost count of how many times I've walked into the same damn building for no result.
