Conman’s Last Hunt
Entry 2
Huge for its time, Spider-Man 2 is still a dream come true.
Most of this has been done better since, and it definitely has many hallmarks of the era: button-mashy combat, awful chase missions, and annoying boss fights. But, I still think it’s a standout superhero game.
After playing both this year, swinging around in Spider-Man 2 is more satisfying and smoother than in Ultimate Spider-Man. The side content is pretty varied as well, and the spidey store is a mostly surface-level but much appreciated addition for a sense of progression. As a bonus, the last fight you have with Mysterio is hilarious.
My biggest negative is actually just that there aren’t any alternate costumes to speak of. Huge missed opportunity there.
Actually, I’m also mad that there aren’t more games like this for other superheroes. I stand by Superman having videogame potential no matter what anyone says.
