Oh boy this game... This to me is the worst Spider-Man game I ever played. But first let's talk about the things I like.
Graphically, this game looks very good. Collecting comic books is good. Voice acting is good. Boss fights were decent. But not all that good. And I like the suits that they had. They added some new side content. Which is fine. Also Stan Lee is in the game and he is awesome. And that's all. I literally don't have ANYTHING else to say that's positive.
My god HOW DID YOU MESS UP THE WEB-SWINGING?! Like in the first game the web-swinging was good. But now it is very janky and very hard to control. I shouldn't have to fight against the game to web-swing. The face models look sooooo ugly and jarring. Even worse than the first game. It was hard to take the story serious with the face models. Also yeah the story. It just.... it sucks. it feels like they brought in a couple of ideas and try to out them all in such a messy way. It's honestly very lackluster. Even more than the story in Sonic Forces. Remember Electro? You know the main guy of the film? Yeah well he's only in one of the levels in the game and doesn't show up at all until it is almost the end of the game. Yep. I am not joking. Also remember Gwen Stacy? The main love interest of Peter for the TASM movies? Who is a very important character? Who's death in the second movie effected Peter badly? Well she is NOT IN THE GAME AT ALL! I am not joking. They literally mentioned her ONCE and that was it. The boss fight for Kingpin wasn't bad, it is just so annoying. Especially with the fat jokes that Peter makes. I know Spider-Man quips, but he does fat jokes EVERY 5 MINUTES it gets annoying. His quips were supposed to annoy the people he fights, not the players who is playing the game. And not only that but he also makes fat jokes about Kingpin during the cutscenes. It isn't offensive, it's just tedious and repetitive. It's like they are trying way to hard to make the players laugh. But all it did was annoyed me and make me groan. The combat and stealth, despite being SLIGHTLY improved, still needs improvement. It still feels like an Arkham clone. Even more than the first game. I mean they made Spider Sense into the detective mode. It is almost exactly like detective mode. My god.... the hero/menace meter.... It has to be one of the dumbest gaming mechanics I have ever see in a video game. I mean really. Since the enemy AI is very annoying this involves it too. When your meter is on the menace levels, the Task Force will try to attack you. When the meter is on the Hero level, you will be okay. Thanks to the enemy AI I had to deal with these annoying Task Force enemies and get a headache. I know what you are thinking, "Why don't you just stop crimes to get your meter on the hero side?" I. Did. And it is such a tedious way of making sure no enemies attack you while you're web swinging through the city. It just felt so repetitive and tedious. The more I kept playing, the more I just want to quit.
Overall, it's a very rushed bad Spider-Man game. SO many gameplay and story executions that went down the drain. Barely any improvements is shown. It barely even adapted anything from the movie. It is honestly a terrible movie sequel tie-in game to the first game. I would definitely not recommend it. Just go watch the movie if you like. Despite me disliking TASM2, at least it wasn't.... this.
