Spider-Man 2 is a pretty good game in my opinion.

The web-swinging is a step up from the other Insomniac Spider-Man games. It feels exhilarating with how fast you can go. The web-wings adds a layer of depth since you can interweave them with the web-swinging.

The combat has also been improved. The parry system takes a bit to get used to but is really satisfying to do once you get used to it. The abilities are cool but at a certain point, they do the same thing; an AoE attack, a knockback attack, a launch attack and a strong hitting attack.

The story without getting into spoilers is pretty good. Act 3 felt a bit rushed as the game goes through events pretty quickly.

Despite it's flaws, Spider-Man 2 is a great game. I think it needed a bit more time to cook as some parts felt a bit underdeveloped both story and gameplay wise.
