If you're looking for the PlayStation 5 game, go to Marvel's Spider-Man 2.Coinciding with the release of the 2004 movie, the video game adaptation of Spider-Man 2 was developed by Treyarch Studios and published by Activision. Generally speaking, the game is a Wide-Open Sandbox and its storyline basically follows the movie's plot, but has several notable diversions along the way, even featuring an entirely original subplot where Spidey butts heads with the illusion-based supervillain Mysterio. Also features Bruce Campbell reprising his role as the Lemony Narrator from the first game.The console version is considered one of the best superhero games of all time, being featured in the 2010 book 1001 Video Games You Must Play Before You Die, and a huge improvement over the So Okay, It's Average first game.The PC and PlayStation Portable versions were Reformulated Games, featuring different gameplay and much different stories than their console counterparts, with the PSP version basically being a port of the first movie game, down to even featuring some of the same bosses. They're not as fondly remembered as them either.If you're looking for the similarly named sequel to Neversoft's Spider-Man (2000), see Spider-Man 2 – Enter: Electro. See also the sequel to Spider-Man (PS4), Marvel's Spider-Man 2.

The Artifact
 Spider-Man 2 (Video Game) / int_13d7a65e
comment
The Artifact: The lizardmen in the arena mode are likely a remnant of the time Lizard was planned to appear in the game. They also reuse the voice clips of default thugs from the previous game, suggesting they were just thrown together from existing assets to act as an arena-exclusive enemy type. Calypso's presence as a combat arena boss also came about from the scrapped Lizard subplot, which was also set to feature Kraven, in a follow-up to his storyline in the Xbox version of the first game. This was scrapped, and later used in the sequel's Lizard missions, but Calypso was kept in for the battle arena due to Mysterio being a total chump in the game.

comment
Not-So-Harmless Villain: Despite his Small Name, Big Ego, and "fight" in the main/console versions - Mysterio is still the one behind those huge Death Courses (the last even bordering on Eldritch Location), and did besiege all of New York City (fake-alien or not, those machines posed very-real threats). This is even more apparent in the PC and PSP versions, where Mysterio's skills are on par with his comic book counterpart.

In the Back
 Spider-Man 2 (Video Game) / int_1daa7fce
comment
In the Back: Aside from baiting them into taking each other down, the best way of getting rid of the Mini-Mecha suits is to strike them from behind. Frontal attacks are very difficult thanks to their cannons blowing you away, and they have a very slow turn rate. Combined with their backs being defenseless the only thing to worry about with this method is another mech suit.

Adaptation Expansion: While the game loosely follows the story of the movie, Spider-Man also encounters the Rhino, Mysterio, Shocker, and Black Cat. The PSP port, essentially being an enhanced version of the first movie game, takes it further, with several bosses from that game reappearing.

Mythology Gag
 Spider-Man 2 (Video Game) / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: Sometimes when you get the drop on some thugs, you may hear one of them shout, "Look out! Here comes the Spider-Man!" Peter's Uncle Ben was killed by a carjacker, something he still feels guilty over. When pursuing a carjacker, Spidey may state "I hate carjackers." When Quentin Beck challenges Spider-Man, he wears an outfit similar to the original Mysterio costume from the comics, sans cape and fishbowl helmet. Mysterio's alien fakeout. The second Amazing issue featured a back-up story where Spidey fought the Tinkerer and Little Green Men. Years later, Roger Stern wrote a retcon revealing these "aliens" as men in disguise committing crimes for the Tinkerer and one of them was Quentin Beck. Mysterio's funhouse creating distorted mirror duplicates of Spider-Man that attack him, which is something he also did in another video game, Sega's Spider-Man vs. the Kingpin. In fact, Spider Man Vs The Kingpin was an explicit inspiration for Mysterio's levels. Before Peter faces Mysterio for the second time, he's assigned by Jameson to take pictures of an incoming Latverian diplomat. In the PSP version, 3 out of the 5 bosses were part of the original Sinister Six. Kraven appeared as an Xbox-exclusive boss in the prior game, and later appeared in 3 alongside Sandman, leaving Electro as the only member not to appear in this continuity until the GBA version of the third game.

Spiritual Successor: Like the first game, the PSP version of 2 is a descendant of Treyarch's 2001 Spider-Man games, using the same engine and web swinging system, but benefiting from extra polish, an improved combat system, and better controls.

Small Name, Big Ego
 Spider-Man 2 (Video Game) / int_28a5213a
comment
Small Name, Big Ego: Quentin Beck, a talented special effects guy, decides to call Spider-Man a fraud and challenges him to a "showdown". He spends pretty much all of it bragging about himself and how smart he is (a poster in the arena even advertises his memoirs, titled, "The Amazing Me"). Funnily enough, Spider-Man will note the supposed audience isn't even real. And then he humiliates Beck anyhow. This trope is further elaborated upon during a news conference hosted by Beck, who advertises his impressive profession on a billboard, but when the camera cuts to the actual stage, hardly anyone's present.

Super Drowning Skills
 Spider-Man 2 (Video Game) / int_34bd7be2
comment
Super Drowning Skills: Boat sinking rescue missions. Even if the boat had no life preservers or anything, it's never more than a few meters from dry land, yet all the passengers are apparently doomed without your help. Maybe it was a learn-to-swim cruise? Throwing thugs in water instantly defeats them. Downplayed with Spidey, who can swim but says it "definitely doesn't suit [him]": falling in water just sends him back close to where he jumped in, unlike previous Spider-Man games. It's played straighter in the final mission, where hitting water at any point means instant death.

Dead-End Room: At one point in the story, you need to head to a "Change" icon on the rooftop of a bank. The mission is about Peter visiting said bank with his aunt as Octavius robs it. However, if you go inside the bank during this chapter before activating the mission, some versions of the game will lock the entrance, trapping you inside.

Prank Call: A couple of classic prank call lines are alluded to in the "ambush" missions. One of the citizens says, "Is your refrigerator running? 'Cause I sure am!" Unimpressed, Spidey replies, "No, but I have Prince Albert in a can..."note "Prince Albert" is a brand of tinned chewing tobacco; the punchline is, "Well, you'd better let him out before he suffocates!"

What Happened to the Mouse?: One of the early missions involves recovering a briefcase from a group of thugs. When Spider-Man returns it to its owner he asks her what the thugs wanted it for, and the woman responds that she doesn't want to talk about it. This implies the briefcase's contents will be relevant later, but it's never mentioned again.

Difficult, but Awesome: This is the most complex Spidey's web swinging has ever been, with multiple layers of it outside the fact that it latches onto buildings.

Timed Mission: Almost every mission involves some sort of time limit, though sometimes it's simply getting to a certain place.

comment
Shout-Out: Jostling pedestrians sometimes elicits a cry of "I'm walkin' here!". Thugs will sometimes say, "Time for a little of the old ultra-violence!". In sinking boat missions, passengers sometimes moan, "This was only supposed to be a three-hour tour!". Spider-Man sometimes addresses people with, "You rang?". In armored-car-robbery missions, a tied-up guard says, "If I could just...reach...my utility belt..." At the beginning of sinking boat missions, Peter might remark "This looks like a job for... some kind of swimming superhero, but since none are around, I guess I'll have to do it..." At one point, Mysterio says "You have no chance to survive! Make your time!" The "Prince Albert in a can" wisecrack comes courtesy of It, more specifically the TV miniseries. A fairly obscure one: When Spidey barges into gang hideouts, he sometimes says, "Excuse me? I'm working my way through college selling Grit." It still sort of works as a Pre-Asskicking One-Liner, but knowing that it was a thing makes it even funnier. Another one-liner has Spidey do an Arnold Schwarzenegger impression: "I'm here to beat you up!".

Developer's Foresight
 Spider-Man 2 (Video Game) / int_d24ed873
comment
Developer's Foresight: One of the first missions involves Peter being late for Dr. Connors' class, but it isn't timed like the later ones. If you simply jump from building to building without web swinging, the narrator calls you out on it, persisting if you ignore him. It is possible to die in the tutorial levels (for example, jumping high enough that you slam into the ground), something Bruce Campbell comments on. Rhino has dialog if you choose to continue beating him after he's already been webbed up. During the final Mysterio mission, if the player continues towards the location where the diplomat is supposed to arrive, their helicopter will be there, but Spidey will mention that he just missed him. To successfully complete a pizza mission, you must deliver all pizzas on time in good condition and return to the pizzeria within the time limit. Because all these conditions must be met, there are actually many, many unique ways of failing a mission (for example, deliver the first pizza on time in good condition, the second on time but ruined, the third ruined and late, and the fourth one not at all). Mr. Aziz's dialogue on your return is usually very specific to the situation.

Dramatic Unmask: In the final fight, Peter's mask gets knocked off by... one of Doc Ock's tentacles hitting him. Somehow.

comment
Reformulated Game: While the console ports are more or less identical, the PC, PSP, DS, and GBA ports were changed up entirely in both gameplay and story: The PC port, developed by Fizz Factor, has almost nothing in common with the film's story outside of Doc Ock's turn to villainy, and has a simplified gameplay system for combat and web swinging. The PSP port, developed by Vicarious Visions, is more or less a port of the prior game, and thus a spiritual continuation of Treyarch's first two Spidey games for the PS1, and has similar gameplay mechanics. As a result, two bosses from that game (Vulture & Shocker) return, and their battles play out exactly like they did in the first game. The story was also tweaked to remove Black Cat, removed Spidey's identity crisis, made Mysterio a more competent opponent, and removed Bruce Campbell as the narrator. The DS and GBA ports, made by Vicarious Visions and Digital Eclipse, respectively, are 2D brawlers mixed with platforming,though the DS port also has a fair share of 3D levels as well. The engine for the DS port would later be used in the Ultimate Spider-Man DS game.

Anti-Frustration Features: During the web-slinging segment where you have to use Mysterio's floating rod devices to get to Liberty Island, if you fall in the water while midway to Liberty Island, the game will spawn you on the island, saving you the hassle to web-sling from the beginning.

Optional Boss: Calypso is only accessible via a post-game Boss Rush, where she replaces Mysterio on account of both him being a Zero-Effort Boss, and Calypso being a holdover from an aborted Lizard subplot (see The Artifact).

Exact Words: Find a certain hint marker in the city and Bruce Campbell promises that by finding them all, the voice over you get for finding one will say something different. Indeed, finding them all will change every hint marker to now prompt Bruce to say "something different" if you touch them.

Early-Bird Cameo: Look closely during the opening cutscene in a new game, and you can spot Black Cat standing on top of the Chrysler building long before you actually meet her. Pay attention to that prisoner who makes a run for it during the post-fight chaos in the very first Quentin Beck/Mysterio mission. It's actually Herman Schultz, aka the Shocker, and you end up fighting him not long after that that mission.

Video Game Cruelty Potential
 Spider-Man 2 (Video Game) / int_f87c42d4
comment
Video Game Cruelty Potential: Sure, you can beat up thugs, but you can also throw them against a wall, into water or off a building. After you have beaten them and gotten the points, you can continue to beat on them just for the fun of it. This can also be done to Rhino and Mysterio, the former of which will beg you to stop. You can also have Spidey himself climb to the top of the tallest skyscraper and throw himself off until he smacks against the pavement since dying means very little. Combining the previous two bullet points, you can grab a mook, haul him to the top of a skyscraper, and piledrive him all the way down to the street. Most satisfying is probably to taunt those kids who've lost their balloons by dancing round them holding the balloon before swinging off around Manhattan. Your webbing can accidentally pop the balloon if not used carefully. Plenty of players shoot them down on purpose.

Cutscene Power to the Max
 Spider-Man 2 (Video Game) / int_fe262584
comment
Cutscene Power to the Max: The dramatic scene from the movie where Spider-Man just barely stops a train before it crashes is casually solved by shooting two webs at it from behind and instantly stopping it. Something you can't actually do in gameplay. This is averted in the PSP port, where the cutscene plays out closer to the movie scene it depicts.
