Spider Man 2
Instructions:
Spiderman 2: The gameplay in Spider-Man 2 is
stripped-down to a fault.
In this day and age, most third-party games are
released across multiple platforms. When the game in question is a major
licensed property, like Spider-Man 2, it's almost guaranteed that you're going
to get the same game on several different systems. Activision did this, in
part, by releasing a Treyarch-developed Spider-Man 2 game on the Xbox,
PlayStation 2, and GameCube. But for some reason that game didn't make its way
to the PC. Instead, PC owners are getting a completely different game. Between
the game's overly simplified gameplay mechanics and its weak presentation, this
is definitely a case where "different" doesn't mean
"better."
The PC version of Spider-Man 2 has overly
simplified gameplay.
At its core, the PC version of Spider-Man 2 is
attempting to do the same thing that the console game does. It takes only the
most basic shreds of story from the movie of the same name and inserts them
into an action game. In an attempt to liven things up a bit, the game does more
than merely pit Spider-Man against Dr. Octopus. You'll also face other
villains, like Mysterio, the Puma, and on multiple occasions you'll square off
against Rhino. When you aren't doing that, you're stopping bank robberies and beating
up on other, lesser thugs. Generally speaking, the game doesn't go out of its
way to tell any story at all. You'll get a cutscene here and there, but most of
these cutscenes are ugly. A few of them come from the console versions of the
game, and these look just fine. But the cutscenes that were created
specifically for this version of the game are awful. They run at a choppy frame
rate, and the scenes would probably look better if they were just rendered
in-engine.
