Spider-Man 2

"Congratulations spidey, on a game well done"

Graphics: 7/10
The graphics in this game are decent. They could've been much better though. The few FMVs were very nice. But for the remainder of the game they were only decent. Whether it's helping a citizen in distress, or just swinging around the city, it always seems kind of blocky. The characters, other than the Spider-Man model which was done very well, were okay. Nonetheless you probably wouldn't mind it.

Sound: 7/10
The sound was good. The music was pretty good, I liked it. There were some good songs. And the voice acting was decent. Spidey sounds pretty good as well as the other characters. They did a pretty good job on sound

Control: 8/10
The controls were easy, simple, and fun. There were tons of moves and combos you could pull. Always trying the controls differently will give you something to do too. You'll have fun playing around with them.

Gameplay: 9/10
The gameplay was borderline great. There was always something to do. Fighting bosses, helping citizens, stopping robberies. Boss fights were fun, but sometimes a little easy, there's lots of different missions you have to do to help citizens, like saving someone from falling, or stopping a car-jacker. And if you ever got bored of that, there was always something else to do. You could go to the fight club and win some hero points. Or you could go to Mary Jane's place and try some new missions. There were also challenges, where you had to do random things such as swinging around the city, or wall-sprinting up a building. There's never nothing to do.

Replay Value: 8/10
There's so much to do in this game, collecting all the secret tokens, finishing all the challenges and their mega-times, and swinging around New York and climbing to the top of the skyscrapers never gets old. You'll have so much to do that you'll be playing this game for a long time.

Conclusion: I'd definitely recommend this to spider-man fans. And even if you're not a spider-man fan, you'll definitely want to check this game out.
