Probably the best superhero game to date. I actually can't imagine a game surpassing this any time soon.
Other reviews demonstrate why this game is so good so I won't get into that stuff. One thing I'd like to highlight is the difficulty of the game. It's incredibly challenging to fine tune a game's difficulty, yet this game nails it. Most bosses in a game will either take 1 try, or 15. Spiderman 2's bosses take between 2 and 10 attempts which is the sweet spot for difficulty in my opinion. The moment to moment combat is also difficult, but not frustrating.
My main gripe is the structure of the game. The open world is fairly bland and unnecessarily big. There's also too many copy and paste side quests along the way. The story is urgent, so I personally find it best to just plough through the game without getting distracted by the side stuff.
Annoyingly, a lot of the main missions are filled with fluff to help pad out the game's length. There's so many instances where it could've just been a cutscene, but instead I'm forced to press a button or complete some random out of place 'puzzle'. The game is at it's best when you're spiderman, and it's a shame that you spend so much time doing other crap.
