In regards to the ragdolls, there's a glitch where, if you activate a race challenge, turn on spider reflexes, and get hit by the train, you will soar across the entire map. It's one of the funniest glitches in video game history. Slyfincleton has a vide of it on his channel showing how to do it.

A similar glitch happened to me when I was fighting Rhino. Turn on spider reflexes dodge his attack while swinging and counter him while you dodge everything including Spider-Man goes slow motion and after you hit him you’ll go high in the sky. If you go high enough you’ll fail the mission. One of the best glitches I’ve seen.

"as stiff as me when black cat shows up" i cant bro, that had me dying

I played Death Stranding a couple of years ago for the first time, and whenever I get asked to deliver some pizza pies across a deserted landscape, I always play the pizza delivery music from this game. That's how iconic the Spider-Man 2 video game is to me.

OMG THANK YOU! I thought I was the only one that would get peeved when someone would say that Arkham Asylum to inspiration from this game for its combat system. They are completely different.

“Speaking of gooning” yeah… i remember that 😂

I think for me Insomniac nailed the swinging when they added the swing assist feature. Putting that down to zero really gave the best of both the first game and the old Spider-Man 2. It feels realistic and challenging while also looking good. I went the whole game using it and I still make slight errors with it light getting too greedy and swinging too late and hitting the ground or I end up swinging into a building, slowing me down.

Such a good review keep it up Love this game

Ngl as fun as races can be I kinda just see them as mindless additional content for open world games and while I do think they give a good opportunity to really test the movement capabilities of characters and explore parts of the map I'd be lying if I said I missed them and want games to have more of them. If they're just fully optional activities for people to do solely for fun and not completion then cool, but otherwise I feel the same rush can be gained from something like community made races following certain routes.

Just started playing it again. Perfect timing

This game is such a blast! I didnt get to play until a year or 2 ago and was taken aback by just how much fun it is. Swinging is tied with Web of Shadows as my personal favorite

Web of Shadows is my favorite, but 2 for ps2 is a close second

Regarding the Web-swinging of Insomniac's SM2, am I the only who thinks that sometimes the physics of the games just suddenly and randomly slows you down. An example is when youre using the wind tunnels. When your going at a crazy fast speed and enter the wind tunnels, you'll slow down or sometimes when you do point launches, you also suddenly lost momentum. I think that the game is also favors in giving you upward momentum compared to giving you forward momentum. Even when doing a dive bomb, the physics is more willing to give you more upward momentum compared to forward momentum

“The good one” Oh no! The invalidation of my opinion!

still one os the best spider man games one of the things i like the most in the game is the sunset the sunset is fucking beautiful

web of shadows had good web swinging too.

My goat ❤

I really recommend the spiderman web of shadows and shattered dimensions on ds

When I played this as a kid I always ran in front of the train just for the ragdoll physics. Plus I tried to perfectly land from the Empire State Building in a way that Peter fell with ragdoll physics. Needed him to hit one ledge while not landing properly it was the best.

This game and web of shadows still has superior swinging.

You should make a retrospective on red dead 2

you should talk about shattered dimensions and edge of time they're my favorites and you make the best reviews!

this game should be nostalgic for me but i played it so much that it feels too recent

Masterful work on the title of the video. You both get clicks from people wanting to figure out what you mean and an active comment section full of idiots arguing whether the "old" (no one tell them about Enter Electro) Spider-man 2 and Insomniac's Spider-man 2 is superior.

web of shadows best game ever

Game was my therapy after a long day of being bullied. Nothing was more satisfying than beating the crap out of thugs! I’ll always remember this game as a treasured possession that got me through the tough times!

Almost every Spider-Man game can be considered good except SM3, Edge of Time and TASM 1/2. Neversoft PS1 Spider-Man games, SM1 Treyarch, SM2, Ultimate, Web of Shadows, Shattered Dimensions, even TASM 1 was somewhat okay.

I don't want games to be that difficult as an adult. I wanna relax after work not get an aneurysm from getting so pissed off at the difficulty of doing a task that for some reason I had no issue doing as a child.

Can you review the X-Men legends games

Lol that title "Spider-Man 2 (the good one) - 20 years later" before he changed it. I honestly can't wait for IG to drop Marvel after X-Men and a lesser developer attempts another SM game and then people crawl back begging for IG to make one again or some shit not knowing how good they actually had it.

Do spidey shattered dimensions next.

Okay no joke I don’t know if this is KZread’s compression on videos but whenever I see Spider-Man 2 for the PS2 gameplay I literally lose sight of where Spidey is when he’s swinging really fast. Idk if this is just me or KZread or the actual game.

4:07 Talk about beating a dead horse LMAO I remember my little ass getting punished like this none stop.

Have you tried the swinging with the swing assist options turned off. It’s a lot more fun if you liked the swinging of the 2004 game. Still not exactly the same since with the 2004 game you could sling shot your self and do other tricks because of how good the physics was. Although the new game with swing assist set to 0 is not bad. At first I was smashing myself into the pavement because its harder to get off the ground.

I have to be honest, I prefer the combat and swinging of not only this game, but other Spider-Man titles over the Insomniac games. I just love the momentum and speed of web swinging and slamming thugs back-and-forth like a ragdoll, or jackhammer kicking them in the air. Also, nice to see Ultimate Spider-Man getting some love! P.S. I would love it if we saw a live-action Rhino that used this game's design as a basis.

Especially since the game let's you throw people off buildings without any webbing safety nets

mannnnnnn there are so many old games I want to play

Unpopular opinion, but I still say Spider man 3 for next gen had the best web swinging. It had the perfect balance of being physics based requiring plenty of skill and cinematic enough to where you can enjoy it and flow beautifully with style through the city without inevitably slamming into a wall every few seconds. Plus I love the fluid animations and how acrobat tricks this time around can be used to manipulate how much momentum you have while web swinging, swinging off traffic lights, flying in the air or jumping off walls. Of course the tutorial in game doesn't tell you how to pull off these tricks and tips or how to use these things to your advantage. This stuff is all learned through hours of gameplay. Unfortunately Sm3's swinging goes easily overlooked since most people who play it, tend to just do whatever to beat the game and be done with it entirely.

I don't always agree with Aqua, but this is one of the times i disagree with him on a spiderman game. I personally always preferred USM and the first movie game to SM2, including the swinging, especially with USM. SM2 just doesn't feel as good as i feel like everyone says. Combat doesn't feel great, swinging is too loose, wall crawling is a nightmare, but it did change the way people saw and made Spider-Man games and i will always and forever be grateful for that

Not liking the game for the lack of features and bugs is fine and acceptable but outright saying the story was bad is completely stupid. Was it better then SM1? No. Was it a bad story? Hell no

I often find that you can get really close to the ground when you swing in Spider-Man 2. But in Insom’s Spider-Man 2, the amount of times I’ve swung in a similar arc only to have the animation force a character’s limb to hit a van or the road, is SO annoying. And it feels less like my error and more like I’m fighting with the game. Like the animation gives the character a different gravity that I couldn’t properly account for. Still fun but aggravating nonetheless.

The 0% Swing-Assist in Spider-Man 2 got very close to making insomniac's Web-Swinging system to be the greatest... but what still holds it back is when there's a system locked in within it that keeps telling the player to LET GO every single damn time. They literally had to make a canned animation for a loop de loop that only goes one time... through a dive bomb. They might've just done that on a dime because they barely had much time to incorporate a momentum base loop, but still... they better fix it in Spider-Man 3 becuase were THIS close to achieving peak perfection 🤏.
