Not much of an improvement over the first Game Boy game. What little they added to the gameplay doesn't offset the general clunkiness of the combat and cramped levels.
Conman's Last Hunt
Entry 7
An unfortunate step in the wrong direction.
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is unpleasant to control and often muddy-looking, which is compounded by conceptually novel yet ultimately ill-fitting open level design. For all the previous game’s flaws, it was a more focused experience which took advantage of limited technology, and was never unintentionally obtuse or confusing to navigate. This is the more ambitious game, and I respect that, yet sadly none of its elements work in tandem.
I’d recommend trying the Gameboy Advance games to see this semi-exploratory Spider-Man action-platformer idea done competently.

i truly hate this trilogy
This one is really odd. It's a somewhat ambitious platformer where you wander around a mostly open level looking for items to use in certain places. Almost like a metroidvania, but not as big and more linear. Sometimes you have to use your limited web shots to solve what are almost puzzles but they are not communicated very well. I liked the attempt at making something unique here but it's not great. Having to go gather all your items when you game over is dreadful because you need to die a lot to figure out how you're gonna hang spidey from a web just the right way to get through a roller coaster.
