This era of gaming had some of the funnest games of all time. It's like that era of gaming was full of so many creative ideas. A lot of developers took risk and concentrated on making their games...fun. Definitely a great era of gaming.

I been gaming since 1983 and I always say the 6th generation of gaming 1998-2004 (I include PC, Gameboy Color/Advance, Dreamcast, PS1 and N64 , Gamecube, Xbox, PS2, ) etc was the best and last peak creative sense of gaming whereas now it's just bumping the graphics and adding more scope and size from that era of games. PC had some of the best games every during that era. November 2004 we ended up getting Halo 2, Half Life 2, WoW, Nintendo DS and so forth to conclude it) Every console still had some console only great games...think Halo, Smash Brothers, PS2 in 2001 got Tony Hawk 3, Metal Gear Solid 2 and GTA 3 all within like 8 weeks of each other, also Omnimusha, Devil May Cry. Dreamcast had amazing arcade ports and Sega fun, Xbox put out Halo, Gamecube was fun, N64 and PS1 got some of their best games during this era from Perfect Dark to Tony Hawk 1 and 2, Majora's Mask etc. , Gameboy Advance really ushered in a new era of what portable gaming could eventually be with SNES ports and 32 bit 2d games and the PSP and DS came out after and refined that.

I used to play this game every day religiously when I was a kid for many years, I could never complete it 100% since those challenges were very hard, but hell did I enjoy the game.

​@cartoonistlouis773 I went through 3 copies of this game in like a year. I remember getting it for Christmas and madly playing it every chance I got. Burned through 1 copy cause I was playing it like 10 hrs a day during days off school. Looking back I do think I overdid it as a kid. Remember my mom being very concerned for me. But at the same time it was amazing. I rememeber trying to explore every corner of the game. Beating it over and over. Great times

I think the reason this game sticks out so much compared to the others is just how much power they squeezed out of these consoles. To go from the original Spider-Man game to this in the same generation was absolutely bonkers. And the swinging wasn’t matched until PS4.

The thing that always stuck with me regarding Spider Man 2 is how drastically different to its predecessor it was, from it’s graphical style to the gameplay. It felt like an actual sequel, and not a just a new version of the previous game that tends to happen with sequels now. Granted, that’s not exactly a bad thing, that’s just something that makes a sequel stick with me more.

The SM 1 PS2 game was technically just the PS1 Spider-Man games in a hot new console (at the time), so yeah it is really gamebreaking and not to mention, in the era where tie-ins were things and their notorious quality due to tight release date, SM 2 came out as one of few diamonds in the rough.

Combat animations in this were surprisingly good for the time.

The graphics were much better in Spider-Man 3. This game does not age well visually it's not textured, detailed or appealing for the eye. It looks unpolished, lifeless and dull. The vividness in the city was more in Spider-Man 1 & 3. Here it's almost completely empty with few bystanders and cars here and there. Not that impressive. Like playing Minecraft or something there's no point to it other than to fart and roam around for a while and then it gets tedious and you want to do something else with your valuable time.

"Problem with your Lazer Beck?? I hear there's pills for that now" 🤣🤣 Classic adult humor I totally missed as a kid

When JJJ is telling Peter to go down to the Sports Arena, it's almost like he's saying "Peter, you need to get suited up and take on Beck while taking pictures."

NGL one of the coolest things about this game to me was the fact that you fought doc ock without the mask

The cutscenes were really good and talk about the music and great voice acting

"Hey Spiderman you're the man" "NO YOU'RE THE MAN!!!" Tobey did it before Keanu

BRO I LOVED THE “TIE ENEMY” MOVE WHEN I WAS A KID. IM SO HAPPY YOU’VE MENTIONED IT

Loved this game. Spent so many hours just swinging around beating up criminals long after i finished the game. I loved how quick it loaded too! Wish insomiac brings back the ability to tie criminals up to lamp posts

The web swinging was amazing on this back in the day.

Gosh this game was so much fun to play as a kid, watching this video unlocked a lot of old memories.

Is that Spider-Man 2 in 4k 60fps!?!…..my childhood just cried a little

I will die on the hill that the swinging in this game is the best we’ve had to date; the speed you could get was insane. The new Spider-Man ps4/5 games were close but have yet to get it perfect

I see some combos here i've never seen before, that multiple kicking animation while airborne looks sick af

The Spider reflexes meter is filled by being stylish. That means combos, dodges, uninterrupted swinging and air tricks.

Great video lad. Playing as a 5 year old and hearing Bruce’s voice is still ingrained in my brain

A nice touch about this game that nobody ever mentions (or at least I haven’t seen it) when you swung the web was still left in the building *chefs kiss*

I know right? I remember when I came across this and was expecting a reality warping, epic boss fight so I was hesitant at first only for him to go down in one hit. At first I was so stunned I couldn't move but then I started laughing at how ridiculous this was. This is still one of my favorite moments in video games.

Off topic but whenever people say Arkham Batman was brutal, I immediately think of Spiderman 2 Spider-Man. Dude is a straight up menace. He can take a criminal up a skyscraper with a criminal in hand, and jump off and pile drive their head onto the concrete from 1000 feet. Lets not mention he can throw them into moving cars and even throw them into the ocean to drown. Spiderman 2 Spiderman is a straight up stone cold killer and Jameson has every right to hate him. Arkham Batman has NOTHING on Raimi Game Spider-Man

I kinda miss the ragdoll effect, it kinda made the game even more fun to play haha and would have me cracking up dying sometimes how much damage I could inflict on a common thug.

*Reads title* Yes. Great video on one of my all-time favorite games!

Also the part where you mentioned the combat i think the arkham games took pointers from this. There really wasnt any type of combat system before that time except this game

The countless hours lost in just web swinging around the city for hours 😂

This was literally my favorite in the series to this day. That final mission where you have like idk how many seconds to reach one part of the city to complete the final camera mission 😅 Man takes me back watching this video. Such a awesome trip down memory lane 🎉

Got tears in my eyes man, what a game 🥹 👏🏾👏🏾my childhood 😭❤

spidy was so chill here

I made so many memories in this game as a kid I loved it all my favorite sections of the game was also the mysterio parts brings back great memories!👍🏼

Damn this brings back memories, played this game so much as a kid, a real banger and does indeed hold up in my opinion(if you disregard graphics obviously, such a wave a de ja vu

I was on the fence with Spider Man 2 after how disappointed I was with Spider Man 2002 but after reading the Games Master Review and said it felt like you were spider man I bought straight away and loved it. I think I swing around the city more than I played the story lol.

All the Mysterio stuff in this game was incredible and I'm so glad they decided to add all that.

Great video I would have liked that the fact that you can choose between 2 modalities of swinging was highlighted. And also the variety of acrobatic movements you could achieve

This brings so many memories man times were simpler

I love the ragdoll effect in this game it makes the game ten times more fun and hilarious the spider reflex just hearing bad guys talk and cops talking in slow motion has had me dying lol

Wow I didn't know Spider-Man 2 worked this well on PCSX2, awesome video btw

I just finished it the other day. It's amazing how well this game held up! Once I got my reaction times back up, swinging was still the best in franchise history. Plus, spinning piledrivers off the Empire State Building...so yeah. Also, it has my favorite version of Black Cat. I was heart-broken that he left her for Mary-Jane's fugly ass. I knew it was going to happen, and it still pissed me off lol

"Problems with your lazer, Beck? I hear there are pills for that now." WTF

Mysterio straight up breaking the 4th wall saying, its hollywood special effects. 😂
