This game was actually the very first game I played on my Xbox 360 when I was 8, and the first game I rebought and played on the PS4 when I was 11. Still cant believe I bought this game twice and finished it twice. I still remember kid me grinding for all the skins, grinding to keep my good karma, and constantly going back and fourth from Aunt May's house to change the time and my suit every five minutes. The only other Spider-Man game I had to compare this to were the Spider-Man games on mobile, so I thought this was a masterpiece back then. It may be crap, but its still very special to me.

I personally enjoyed the game at the time. After playing Insomniac’s Spider-Man games would I say it holds up? Definitely not, but I can’t bring myself to hate the game.. only thing that really annoyed me was how stiff it felt and the menace system. I’ve always loved TASM whether it be the movies or the games.

Extra Hint: If you wish to explore the city while worrying less about the Hero/Menace system, put on the Vigilante Suit, level it up to the max, and with its Heroic Bonus, the meter will decrease slower and gain Heroic points faster.

[@ItsOver9000Productions]

The only positive I can say is that the combat is better than people make it out to be. If you time your taps right instead of button mashing, you'll do more powerful and advanced combat just like in the Arkham games. TASM 1 doesn't have the same level of depth in combat but I still prefer that game overall. Also I'm pretty sure the game doesn't even tell you about the button timing outside of a loading screen lmao

[@codydavis3513]

Only a few minutes in but I gotta say, the only thing that I still wish Spidey games would adapt and refine from this game is the double trigger swinging. I always thought it was so cool to choose which hand to shoot my webs from. Made me feel very immersed and like I had more control over which direction I wanted to go, and I feel like insomniacs Spider-Man games could desperately use this because the amount of times I want to go towards and around a building to my left only for it to auto shoot to the right and make it look and feel super awkward is insane. The best thing about it is if they incorporated this they could easily have it be a toggleable feature in the menu just like some of the swing assist settings they put in 2.

I used to think The Amazing Spider-Man 1 and 2 were the apex of Spider-Man games, but after I played Marvel's Spider-Man 1 and 2 my eyes were finally opened. I played both TASM games on my PS3 and I gotta say: Even though they were both mediocre, they were still REALLY fun. And, honestly, they had some positive points: The Stealth mechanics, the variety of crimes, the underground scenarios, the Boss Battles, the suits in your closet, etc... With that said, I finish this comment by saying: Despite the fact that both TASM games are obviously rushed games, they will always have a special place in my heart. PS: I'd prefer going after the Platinum of both TASM games than playing that garbage Miles Morales game!

This is very unpopular, but ever since Spider-Man 2018, I just wanted so bad for insomniac to try to replicate this web-swinging system. It's not great. Hell, it's not good.

[@AntsTheaterCorner2698]

Agreed. It's the most Spider-Man of the live action films. Spider-Verse is the best IMO, but live action goes to TASM 2. It's the closest to comic Spidey we've ever gotten in live action.

[@chamoflag9630]

Tom Holland's spider man is like that 1 intern who always gets the extra task left out by his boss(Tony Stark),in homecoming it was OK but the over dependence of tom's villains being influenced by Tony really felt forced,like just because mysterio hates tony stark,peter got a villain,even in no way home his villains are nostalgia based,MCU spider man doesn't have a single emotional connection with any villain unlike other spider man which makes it a bit bland imo.

[@vengeance4566]

​​​@@AntsTheaterCorner2698​ yikes TASM 2 is still the most dog trash spidey film of THEM all, just because it's comic accurate doesn't mean the writing is decent. Say what you want to say about Mad Max Furorisa, like it doesnt have the same level of visual appeal as its predecessor, BUT it is nevertheless a well-written movie, therefore it's a good film even though its flopped at the box office.if you goes by your low ass standards of watching film based on comic accuracy then "Let There Be Carnage" is a masterwork at that; everything about it is comic accurate. It's an incredible feat to adapt Spider-Man stories without Spider-Man and make them work.

[@Morfe02]

The worst Spider-Man game is Spider-Man 3 for PS3 and Xbox 360. TASM2 Game isn't good but I'd rather replay this game 2 times over than to ever touch the Spidey 3 game. Edit: Man after watching this video, I have a question. Why did I originally like this game when it came out? I guess because I was younger and was still on a Spider-Man high after the second TASM came out and I wanted this game as a birthday gift. I realize now that this game makes me wanna play Web of Shadows and Edge of Time instead. And I don't like either of those games(Web of Shadows has more bright spots tho), but they are better Spidey gaming experiences than this ever was.

Also the fact I couldn't really play TASM1 because my PC couldn't handle it or the game would crash after the first giant spider boss fight. I still never finished it. It was surprising to me how well TASM2 ran. I guess the graphical downgrade was worth it when you consider that. Game-wise I still had fun with it but I don't think I considered it better than Web of Shadows or even Spider-Man 3 which I also loved.

While this game doesn't hold up to Insomniac's games, I can't help but feel nostalgic for TASM 2. I remember being excited for this game and its large variety of suits (the TASM Vigilante suit is one of my favorite homemade suits too). I even pre-ordered the game at Gamestop to get the pre-order suits. I thought the idea of having the left and right trigger being used for web slinging was awesome, and the idea of the crimes system felt awesome. And that soundtrack is so freaking nostalgic I don't know why. It sounds kind of like the soundtrack for Bully. Unfortunately, the crime system became too much when you got punished for not wanting to do a crime or not getting there in time. I also felt the graphics took a hit and thought it was weird how the TASM 1 suit looked more detailed and realistic than the TASM 2 suit. I was also annoyed that they didn't go the first TASM game's route of taking place after the movie, so that the story isn't a 1 for 1 adaptation of the movie and it's own original story.

I liked that game, not love, but liked. I think I liked it more than TASM1. The thing that pushed me over the egde and made me delete the game was the hero-menace system. Sometimes I just wanted to swing around and I couldn't because that task force or whatever it is would chase me around, unless I do the repetitive crime activities. I remember even searching for mods that would turn this off.

The Game doesn't actually have You stick to the Building swhen swinging. The Game just checks to see If You are at a certain height below the Buildings. If You go to Central Park and swing, You will see that the Webs don't attach to any of the Trees. The Swinging also lacks any kind of Physics because as soon as You stop swinging, Spider-Man will fall like Spider-Rock. While the first Amazing Spider-Man Game tried to tell Its own Story, this Game was forced to follow along the really mediocre Movie and, If I recall, Beenox weren't supposed to giveaway the Ending that Gwen had died so She wasn't allowed to appear like with what happened with the previous Game mentioning Captain Stacey's death at the end of the first Amazing Spider-Man Movie.

Even tho tasm2 game was mid it did randomly have amazing moments to it that insomniac spm doesn’t even have. Being able to sling shot WHILE web swinging ( like spm 2 PS2) was cool, using the left and right triggers to web swing was cool, having a combat arena (even tho it was pretty basic but I wish spm2 PS5 had a combat arena), some crimes like burning buildings and car chases are better than the ones in spm2 ps5. Otherwise tho it’s still mid at best.

[@yu-gi-ohcasual6294]

This game was a mixed bag for me back when I played it during its release. I enjoyed touching on Uncle Ben's killer again, the attempted ambiguous take on Carnage, the suits, the suit buffs, the combat, the RPG-esque conversations, Kraven's mentor-mentee relationship with Spidey (as well as the big game hunter's later betrayal), the new web-swinging mechanics where the triggers are mapped to Spidey's hands, and the more personal connection to Peter that the game tries to facilitate through his segments where you can just go around, getting his comments on things and talking to others. I didn't like the sidequests that you mentioned not liking either, how Carnage wasn't the main focus despite being more interesting and fun to see on screen, how the RPG-like conversations didn't really add much to the game or the story, how Kraven felt so disconnected from the rest of the plot, how the new web-swinging mechanics didn't look as fun or feel as good as they could have been, how Peter's sections weren't executed to their full potential, there were waaaaay too many villains (which is saying something when the movie was bloated with 2 while the game had, IIRC, FIVE villains struggling over the spotlight) or the reputation system. While the rep system was a neat idea, I felt like it was too punishing when you fully maxed it out, and the fact that the story missions (from what I can recall) affected it was quite irritating, since you couldn't make decisions to raise it during missions; if the mission wanted you to be a bad guy, you were a bad guy when you finished it, which would negate a lot of work to slowly undo that rep damage, and even then it was still going down every second. That damn rep system made me never want to replay the game after I beat it the first time, which is a shame since I still go back and replay TASM 1 to this day and consider it be my favorite Spider-Man game alongside Spider-Man PS4. Additionally, the rep system just made the open world tedious to the point of being stressful, as I was always being sidetracked with stopping crime to make sure I wasn't being hunted, and it got to the point where I stopped having fun and actively stopped doing side content altogether to just zip from one mission to the next, as I hated seeing that damn bar go down. All in all, good idea but awful, abysmal, astoundingly terrible execution. While you liked it somewhat, I ended up hating it and it's the sole reason I returned my copy of the game after beating it and haven't got a new one since. With all that being said, this just makes me appreciate Spider-Man PS4 more, as it fixed a lot of these issues while expanding upon what I liked about TASM 1. Peter's segments are interesting and fun (though dialogue options weren't brought back, which is fair as I'd only want them in a Spider-Man RPG game... but that's never gonna happen lol), swinging and combat are better, the story is great, the side content is... bearable, and all the villains are amazing.

They created a new story with a new sequence of events that was genuinly engaging. I feel like they really wanted to focus on that aspect of this game too which there isn't enough credit given for it, especially with the museum mission where it builds onto Felicias character from the previous game and even answers the question about Gwen in a way, with spidey considering running away with her and having a love affair. It just sucks that spidey basically gohsts Gwen and Whitney Chang after working so close with them in the last game; maybe a new design team or something? Just food for thought as these games, mind you, are 10+ years old, and without them there would never have been anything to build off of for the latest variations of it. Another underated topic is the voice overs as these seemed kinda revolutionary compared to the low effort versions we were given from the Spiderman trilogy ( minus harrys intense breathing and shockers "huh").

Sorry for the essay, just had to help this game recover a bit as there's alot of hate that doesn't feel entirely deserved.

In an alternate universe tasm 2 was a beloved game and sm2 was panned

I think the reason I loved this game so much was basically because it’s an Arkham Spider Man

This was the only Spider-Man game I had until 2018 😭 Even growing up i could never play this game for long as I had the Arkham games and lego games as a kid, so I never had too much enjoyment playing this. Thats said...I have nostalgia. I dont like the game, but I also can't hate it because it was the only Spider-Man experience I had for SO LONG. It's also why I probably like Batman a little more than the wall crawler

I also used to like this game back when it came out when I was in middle school, but eventually grew to realize how bad it was. I won't deny that the game is nostalgic to me though.
