Some games are sacred. They were either so well received or so revolutionary that any criticism towards the game is sacrilege. They’re the games that people claim haven’t aged, the games people say are still the best to this day. Sometimes when I play a game like that, I think “what the hell are they on about?”. I’ll likely find things to enjoy, but I’ll be sceptical that it’s the best. Spider-Man 2, is one of those sacred cows. People for years, up until the release of Insomniac's Spider-Man games, have claimed that Spider-Man 2 for the 6th generation of consoles is the best open world Spider-Man game to ever exist. And you know what? Yea, I get it. I played the game when I was a kid but it wasn’t until last year that I gave it a proper replay, and I was expecting to see a game that aged poorly, that played poorly, and I didn’t. Look; is this better than some of the latest Spider-Man games, not entirely. Is it my favourite Spider-Man game; Sorry, but no ones beating Ultimate. But if anyone were to tell me that this is the best Spider-Man game, I wouldn’t question them. After, brace yourselves, 20 years, looking at this game can teach us a lot of lessons. Outside of how revolutionary it was; the game still does some things better than even the latest Spider-Man games, and that alone warrants a deeper look at Spider-Man 2.
Now I need to make something clear; I'm a big Spider-Man guy, ok, and those biases are clear no matter where you look on the channel; but despite being the #1 Peter Parker Pickled Pepper Pecker glazer, I have no nostalgia for THIS game. I grew up playing a lot of these games, but this one never stuck as hard as Ultimate did. By the time I was old enough to really appreciate the game though; I didn’t have a console capable of playing it. Now, going back to it, I was expecting something a lot worse than what we have. I became sceptical when seeing that people were comparing Spider-Man 2018 to this game, but, and sorry to give it away so early, these people are right to do so. The swinging genuinely is really good, the combat is surprisingly deep, and the game itself is just plain fun. It’s not all perfect, but if the goal is to answer the question “is this game as good as they say” the answer is “yea, pretty much”.
Spider-Man 2 is a wildly successful movie, but Spider Man 2 specifically Spider-Man 2 for the PS2 or Spider-Man 2 for the Gamecube is a wildly successful game. The Spider-Man 2 game based off the Sam Raimi movie, not Insomniacs Spider-Man 2, is bassed off of the Sam Raimi movie. The Spider-Man 2 gameplay, story, and more will be covered in this Spider-Man 2 critique. This Spider-Man 2 review will be shorter, but this Spider-Man 2 analysis is comprehensive as far as my thoughts go. Spider-Man 2, 20 Years Later and yes, I mean the good one (just kidding), holds up extremely well. The old Spider-Man 2 isn't the most high tech game, and not the longest, evidenced by any Spider-Man 2 walkthrough, but it still contains mechanics that make it worth playing outside of Marvels Spider-Man 2. I'll have a Marvels Spider-Man 2 review coming eventually in the That Boy Aqua Spider-Man retrospective.
