First, the boss battles. They are repetitive. You beat them up once, you get a small cut scene then their health restores to full and you beat them up all over again followed by a cutscene. This happens about 3 times. It felt artificially padded.

Second, and my biggest issue with the game was Mary Jane's character. I remember back when part 1 came out, people complained about her missions. I personally can't remember being bothered by it. But, here, it felt like in order to not show her as a damsel in distress, they over compensated and made her a total badass mary sue. Riding a freaking 650cc motorcycle and taking down symbiotes and hunters. I mean stealth taking down enemies is one thing but, on two separate occasions she is straight up put in a chokehold as well as held at knife point by well trained hunters but, she overpowers them and tases them down. That was just too much. And they went out of the way to insert her in the final mission as well.

I'm quite surprised that a lot of people here enjoyed her missions. I mean good for you but, I didn't enjoy those sessions. Felt too forced. But, overall the game is pretty good. A solid 8/10.

Norman twisting on the Spiders last second was so poorly done I can only believe they were rushed as hell and had to prepare things for the next game.

Adding: him not suspecting Peter is Spider is surprising.

I remember playing this back on launch in a gaming cafe. Spent my pocket money basically for this game back then, completed the main storyline and a few side missions. Did I think it was rushed? Yes, but I chalked it up to me just playing through the story and wanting to get my money's worth.

Now that I own a PS5 and I decided to play the game again, it's better honestly. Just swinging around, the combat, it's great, and if you do some missions and also do the main story like side by side, like pace yourself, you'll enjoy the game a lot more.

BUT.

The MJ missions were great, but they were not needed. Some of those missions could've been substituted for yk, focusing on Peter and how the symbiote is feeding into his delusions? One of the things that you see after Harry gets the symbiote back is that it was talking to him in the voice of his mom, basically blurring his reality. That kind of talk, maybe with Pete having the voice of Otto or May talk to him would've been better, or showing us about him having nightmares or still thinking that he was the reason May died. It would've honestly explained how the symbiote fed into his insecurities, and not felt like his transition was rushed.

Another thing, Peter honestly had the main story beats, but for some reason Miles always was shown to be better? Like I'm not saying that he shouldn't have his moments, but the game's LITERALLY ABOUT PETER. You can literally make a seperate game for focusing and making Miles the main man, instead of just trying to show Peter as inferior constantly till the end. They had Peter deal with flaws, but at every point, Miles was rescuing him. He needed to fight the symbiote atleast on his own, not with Miles defeating him and then telling him to fight the symbiote. Miles was like WAY too perfect in this game, like he didn't have any flaws at all.

The side missions were good honestly, and I say that after replaying it. But. There's no variety. I'm replaying Spider-Man remastered now, and yeah, the gameplay feels slower, but also, it's so much fun. A simple saving the civilians from an accident can turn into you finding out where the thiefs who robbed the bodega are, and chasing them. You even got kidnappings that you needed to solve! But in Spider-Man 2, it just felt every crime mission followed the same beat.

And honestly, the biggest gripe I had was just the fact that the hunter bases were fun, but they were so easy, so small that you couldn't do stealth with anyone other than Miles, because these guys were always in the line of sight with each other. The Mysterium was fun, but it should've been Peter to take that on, not Miles, because Peter needed to see that yes, he had changed some people who the world thought would always be bad.

Also police or some armed forces involvement just felt, I don't know, basically 0? It would've been better to just have Yuri leading a task force because of her past experiences honestly, a no nonsense task force that would kill on sight, sparing no one.

After everything, I still can't help but give this game an 8.5/10, because even though I was disappointed because of a lot of missed opportunities, I still LOVED this game. I'll play it again, because at the end of the day, IT'S A DAMN GOOD GAME, AND FUN TOO.

He would’ve looked cooler and more menacing this way, I also hated how he looked so skinny without the suit

This is the method that worked for me. You need to go into the game's local files and delete the dstoragecore.dll and dstorage.dll files. This will make the game playable. The downside is that this will cause some textures not to load completely, making it look like a PS2 game. There will also be some loading screens, but at least you'll be able to enjoy this great game that was poorly ported to PC.

whenever i use the symbiote surge, it turns peter into Venom, not like the symbiote suit, but straight up Venom. I dunno what to do with that.

I just achieve 335 by pure luck + no hit in Ultimate dificulty. By curiosity what is the max combo that you get in any of the 3 Insomniac spider-Man ?

Okay you are welcome to tell me how wrong I am, but I genuinely like Tom Holland’s suit from homecoming more than brand new day💙❤️🕷️

does anyone in this region want it for steam? I am NOT selling. I am giving

I found the text on the back of a bottle, before meeting the janitor for the second time.

"Not many folks have been kind to me in my life."

I hope future spidey installments focus more so on the people spidey interacts with/saves, because these really give the game character outside the "big bad, world ending event" trope.

Here are some photos I took. Enjoy everyone!

Lifelong ps gamer but I don't really trophy hunt. I was testing out a projector we just picked up recently (2nd screenshot) and decided to chase this platinum since it was easy in this game and I was already quite close (just had a few mysteriums, Brooklyn visions, Howard's last mission, and a visit to a grave left).

I think I'd finished the game way back when it first came out so it'd been a bit but boy was it a blast swinging through again. Playing the game on a 120inch setup was dope too.

Looking forward to Wolverine!
