If you own the PS2 version of Spider Man 2, that may have scared you off from buying this one. Don't let it! This is really a good game all by itself, and it is completely different from the PS2 version that came out last year. The graphics in the cutscenes are amazing (much better than the PS2), and the real actor's voices are used again. Gameplay is relatively simple to catch onto (there's a tutorial, but no Bruce Campbell this time). It's a great introduction to the PSP, and I'd highly recommend it as a starter game. If this is how it's going to be, then the PSP is going to rule!

If you enjoy adventure games, be sure to give the PSP version of Spider-Man 2 a try. It's got a nice combination of puzzles, exploration, and fighting enemies.

You are of course Peter Parker, newspaper reporter by day and crime-fighting webslinger by night. There is a nice amount of plot here, with well done cut-scenes that help to move the story along. You get the sense that you are participating in a sequence of events, not simply bashing away at random enemies.

The grahpics are really quite impressive, from the buildings you move around and the people you encounter. The cut scenes in particular are quite well cone.

The sounds are reasonable, with the original actors coming on to reprise their roles. Again, this really helps with the immersion factor of the game, that you are really becoming part of the Spider-Man world.

I like the fact that gameplay is a mix of styles. Sometimes you are saving cars from falling. Sometimes you are pulling down enemies in helicopters. Sometimes you are kicking and punching with street punks. In addition to your main objectives, there are other things you can do, other places you can go explore. It's up to you how you handle your current list of objectives.

If you just focus on the main tasks, you can zip through the game pretty quickly. But that is true of most adventure games. The glory is that you can roam around at your leisure, exploring the nooks and crannies, looking to see what hidden secrets are waiting for you. That is what helps the game last a long time and adds to the replayability factor.

Well recommended!

4.5/5

Simply put, this game is fun but not worth the money.

Why?

The game is short. I beat it in two days. Although it is fun to play, it is pretty easy to beat.

The graphics are good but not great. Although all the original actors do the voices, the characters look nothing like them. All the women look manly and the men look ugly.

Enemy AI is pretty bad. All you have to do (for the most part) is crawl on the ceiling and you can walk right past all the bad guys.

The only fights that are good are the boss fights. Every other bad guy that you fight goes down in 3 hits. Even the boss fights can get really repetitious and boring sometimes.

In conclusion, just rent this game. It is not worth it to own especially when you can easily beat it within a week.

When my son got his PSP for CHRISTmas, Spiderman 2 was the one game he really wanted. No longer in stores, I went to Amazon knowing it would be there. My son, 12½, says the graphics are excellent, it's one of the best, & you don't get bored. I watched him play - it does look good, especially on the PSP screen. The game features a 'green level' in which the player can perfect moves, get the feel of the game, or leisurely swing building to building from a thin web above the city without the assignments given to Spiderman in the actual game mode. I must admit the graphics & aerial views of the city are pretty cool!

If you have played the PS2 or GCN version of this, I have to tell you it is slightly different (In a good way!). If you haven't played the PS2 or GCN versions you will still love this game. It has all the same web-swinging action as the others do. Spiderman 2 has a different web-swinging style then the first game did. Instead of swinging in mid-air, you shoot one web at one building, jump, shoot another web at another building and repeat. You can also walk on streets unlike the first game. You can climb up onto the top of the highest building, dive down and swing on web at the last second! Overall: INCREDIBLE!!!

I was only able to play this game for a few minutes before getting bored. I'm not the hugest Spiderman fan, so maybe if I was I would have liked this game more.

Basically it's an adventure game where you play Spiderman and go around beating up the bad guys... supposedly it follows the movie spiderman 2 to a degree, but I didn't play the game long enough to know how closely it does follow the movie.

The graphics are good and it seems playable, but this game just wasn't as much fun as Untold Legends, Wipeout Pure, or Twisted Metal, which are all better games.

and I loved it! The graphics are PS2 quality, the storyline feels somehow better than the PS2 version, you listen to the same rock music that plays while you play the levels and the extra features are really good. The extra's include cheats, level selection, story board and a few more things that would fascinate huge Spiderman fans. The gameplay is the usual "kick-punch-dead" and the levels are usually easy but when you fight some baddies, it becomes really difficult. The movie played in between levels are EXCELLENT quality and I think it's the best Action game on the PSP...now.

Spiderman 2 is a big disapointment. I just bought a PSP and then got Spiderman 2. The game is defintly not worth 50 bucks. i beat the game in less thatn 2 hours on normal. The trainig is bad and the camera just sucks. The bosses are all the same. Break a shield or make him dizzy and then hit him. No big deal. The game had 19 levels but each level lasted like 5 minutes. Gets really boring . Don't buy it unless you really like spiderman. if u don't but still want the gaem rent. Not Worth 50 bucks.

I bought this game for my PSP about a month ago (and I'm actually selling it tonight) and popped it into my PSP. I played through about 3/4 of it that night and the other small bit the next night... then it was over... I was kinda like, "So that's it?". There is absolutely nothing wrong with the game except that it is terribly short and has no redeaming value... this makes me sad... playing it a second time is just boring and not as fun as the first and there is no kind of multiplayer or really that many unlockables (just three galleries of stuff)... I would recomend this for hardcore Spidey fans (like myself) that have big bags of money that can be spent willy-nilly. Other than that... just rent/borrow it somewhere, you won't be dissapointed if you do that.

If you enjoyed Spiderman 2 for the PS2 and your thinking "Cool I loved that game, and now I can take it anywhere" think again. Gone is the open environment where you can spend hours just swinging around Manhattan. Instead its one level right after another. Its like they to the first Spiderman game and updated the content to reflect the new movie. Its almost deceptive for fans of Spiderman 2 for the PS2. And the worst part is they didn't even get Bruce Campbell to do the voice for the tutorial.
