Still you will probably finish it for the achivements.

As many people have already said, Spider-Man 2 was easily one of the best Spider-Man games ever made, although it could be argued that Ultimate Spider-Man did a lot of things right, too.

Will I finish it for the achievements? Doubtful, if it keeps up being this ridiculously frustrating.

Exactly. Am I not playing as f*cking Spider-Man, and in the case of the half-way point, symbiote suit Spider-Man? Why is it, then, that some stupid b*tch with an umbrella and a skirt can dodge EVERY SINGLE ONE OF MY ATTACKS? Someone, somewhere, made the point at sometime that when you put a superhero in a position where you're just getting constantly ass-reamed, you don't feel like a superhero, and I don't feel like a f*cking superhero in this game. Spider-Man should be able to mop the floor with random street thugs, not have to go into "Spider-Sense" mode and wait to dodge attacks. That's just stupid.

And the boss fights themselves are ludicrous, not just because they can get so frustrating and unfairly difficult, but because they're so damn long! It takes forever to beat a boss and that's just another downfall. It's nothing but luck to get by some of them, so when you're about 10-15 minutes into a fight, and suddenly get thrown into one of those "press the button" sequences out of NOWHERE, then mess up once and get sent all the way back to fight that boss, from the beginning, it just makes you want to stop playing all together. I'm currently trying to fight Kraven, and I got so angry I threw my 360 controller for the first time since I've owned the thing. I just could not keep myself in check.

The web swinging was better in 2 from what I remember as well.

Better graphics? Hardly. And it has nothing to do with the mechanics. If the gameplay remained unchanged from SM2, it would have been fine, but they didn't. They changed things, and they put no polish on anything. That's what the problem is.

As for the swinging, it's much better in SM3, than 2 or Ultimate. There's a lot more depth to it. Web swinging is the one thing that isn't a disappoint to me with this game.
