The predecessor was a perfect Spider-Man game gameplay-wise. So it was hard for Spider-Man 2 to surpass that – and for the most part, it didn't – at least in my opinion.
You get to know the characters better and the interaction between Peter and Miles is fun, because you play them both. There is one sequence with Hailey, Miles' deaf friend, which I don't want to spoil, but which I thought was really clever. Other than that, the game offers a few surprises which are also pretty cool.
Other than that Spider-Man 2 seldomly seems to copy the missions and sidemissions from the first games. You swing through New York City as Spider-Men do stuff. The addition of Queens is nice, but it's not really more than an extension of the map.
So I love Spider-Man 2 as a sequel and it fully met my expectations, but I wouldn't call it a quantum-leap in comparison to the first games.
