Spider Man 2 is a great improvement from the first game in various aspects, from movement to combat and obviously, the graphics. Even though I wasn't the biggest fan of how the story, specially the villains were handled, it's a good distraction and when it comes to the more personal aspects of the world and it's characters, it felt actually really good.
Having that said, I really wish the side content was a bit better, even though the writing in the FNSM missions is superb, I felt like the game lacked a couple more of side activities and the ones we have aren't all that good with some exceptions. The combat can get pretty broken by the end game too.
This game is a great effort from the really talented team that is Insomniac's, but I can't really convince myself that it's better than the first one. I definitely liked it more than the Miles' game, but sometimes the worldbuilding and the side activities felt a bit lacking, even if they have a promising start. I can't say I didn't have a blast with this game though, every time I put my hands on it the hours just fly by - it's a really good experience, but with a lot of room for improvement and a couple of issues that I just couldn't ignore
