Spider-Man 2 is a 2004 action-adventure video game, open-world in various iterations, based on the film of the same name, while also incorporating additional material from the comic books, namely villains not present in the film like Rhino, Mysterio, Puma, Shocker, or Vulture (both returning from the previous game), depending on the platform. It is a follow-up to the game Spider-Man: The Movie, itself based on the 2002 film, and incorporates various references to the events of that game, even if they did not occur in the film. Published by Activision, the console versions were developed by Treyarch, but the other versions had different developers.
The game was released on June 28, 2004 for the Game Boy Advance, GameCube, Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 2 and Xbox, followed by N-Gage and Nintendo DS versions, both released later in the same year. A PSP version, which uses the same engine and graphics as the first game, was also released almost one year later, on March 23, 2005. The Game Boy Advance version, developed by Digital Eclipse, came on Twin Pack cartridge and bundled with Spider-Man: The Movie in 2005. The console versions of the game received critical acclaim, with critics praising the realistic like Manhattan and web swinging mechanics. The other versions received mixed reviews.
The game was followed by Spider-Man 3 in 2007, itself based on the film of the same name, the final film in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy.
Gameplay
Spider-Man 2 is in most versions, an open-world action-adventure video game, with a few role-playing elements and takes place from a third-person perspective. The Treyarch version of the game allow the player to freely roam around Manhattan, Roosevelt, Ellis, and Liberty Islands. The home console versions were also innovative in that physics-based algorithms simulated Spider-Man's web swinging in three dimensions, creating a new game mechanic unlike the traditional jumping or flying of previous Spider-Man games. The PSP version of Spider-Man 2 was compared to playing the original Spider-Man movie game.
While street thugs only have handguns, machine guns, crowbars and their fists to protect them, the super-villains and their minions have their various unique powers and weapons that they use to either steal, cause terror or defeat Spider-Man. At the end of the game, it becomes possible to unlock a warehouse in which the player can again fight thugs and villains such as Shocker, Rhino, Mysterio, Doctor Octopus, and an additional boss, Calypso, who is not found elsewhere in the game.
The player has the ability to choose either to go on with the storyline or swing around the city. The player can explore Manhattan, Roosevelt Island, Ellis Island, Liberty Island, and a mysterious label on the map over the water claiming "Governors Island" (which was omitted from the final version of the game due to time constraints) with many sidequests for the player to complete. The player can do random tasks to earn "hero points," which must be accumulated to continue with the story.
Plot
Treyarch version
Two years after the events of the first game, Peter Parker/Spider-Man is shown to be still having trouble balancing his superhero and civilian lives, frequently being late or absent for school (much to the disappointment of his science teacher, Dr. Curt Connors) and leisure time with his friends, Mary Jane Watson, whom he is attracted to, and Harry Osborn, who hates Spider-Man, believing he murdered his father. One night, after dinner with his friends, Spider-Man stops a museum robbery, during which he meets professional thief Black Cat, with the two eventually becoming allies and working together on several occasions to fight crime.
Besides his jobs as a pizza delivery boy and photographer for the Daily Bugle, Spider-Man contends with suprevillains like Rhino, whom he defeats one day on the streets. Spider-Man also beats special effects artists Quentin Beck in a series of "games" meant to prove he is a fault. Emberassed, Beck later assumes the identity of "Mysterio" and leads attacks on both an opera and the Statue of Liberty, which Spider-Man foils. He soon tracks down Mysterio to his apartment and overcomes a series of challenges, learning that Mysterio is a fraud, despite his escape.
Peter later meets Dr. Otto Octavius through Harry, a respected scientist who is trying to recreate a nuclear fusion that would allow him to provide an unlimited amount of energy for Manhattan, with the experiment being funded by Oscorp, now led by Harry. Peter forms a bond with Octavius, but on the day of the experiment, the fusion creates a strong magnetic field, which destroys the lab and kills Octavius' wife Rosie. Although Spider-Man manages to shut down the reactor in time, the fusion has grafted Octavius' metal arms, created to help him control it, to his spine and destroyed the chip allowing him to control their artificial intelligence, causing the arms to influence Octavius' mentality and slowly turn him into a villain. After speaking with his old friend Curt Connors, during which the arms make Octavius very paranoid and aggressive and he injures Connors, Octavius adopts the name "Doctor Octopus" and seeks to finish the fusion at all costs. To earn enough money to rebuild the reactor, he robs a bank, where he kidnaps Peter's Aunt May to prevent Spider-Man from pursuing him, although Spider-Man chases after him nonetheless and saves May.
Later, Spider-Man learns that Mary Jane is getting married and, saddened, reunites with Black Cat, who tries to convince him to give up on his civilian life to be Spider-Man full-time. The pair then work together to track down Shocker, who escaped from prison during Beck's initial competition with Spider-Man and flees after a brief fight with them. Shortly after, Spider-Man faces Mysterio in person when he attempts to rob a store and easily beats him, unmasking him as Beck and taking photos of him for the Daily Bugle, only for his boss, J. Jonah Jameson, to make it look like he and Spider-Man were partners. Enraged by this, Spider-Man decides to confront him, but is stopped by Black Cat, and the pair once again track down Shocker and defeat him for good. Spider-Man later meets with Black Cat one final time, telling her he can't give up on either his civilian or superhero life, which she understands.
