Spider-Man 2 for GameCube, Xbox, and PS2 was a surprisingly solid romp. This was the early days of sandbox games, so they decided to focus mostly on making Spider-Man's web swinging fun as hell. They gave you all of New York City to explore, and there was a lot of hidden goodies for the player who tried exploring it all. The combat was bare bones, and doesn't really hold up, but for what it was, it wasn't UNPLAYABLE. They added some more villains, like Rhino, Black Cat, Mysterio (lmao) and the Shocker came back from the first Spider-Man movie game, which was some neat continuity. Even Toby Macguire and Kirsten Dunst reprise their roles as Spidey and MJ, and the tutorial is humorously read by Bruce Campbell.
I remember it getting pretty good reviews, but it was my younger brother who rented it. It became a huge favourite for me, so much so that I'd probably wasted too many hours just swinging around NYC.
