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.

[GK Punk]

Yeah I agree about the web swinging. I find it easier to controll where I want to swing to in this game. 2's was a little more frustrating. Ultimate, was pretty good though. I'm hoping this new Spider-Man: Friend or Foe game turns out to be made of specatular. (Get it? Spectacular Spider-Man? See what I.. ah who asked you)

[Peanut]

There's going to be another Spider-Man game? I haven't heard of anything outside of the movie game, but I would love a sequel to Ultimate Spider-Man. That game was full of win.

[GK Punk]

It's advertised on the back of the Spidey 3 booklet. At least on the PS2 version. It looks like it's based on the movie universe though. I know I'd rather have something based on Ultimate Spidey. (Ultimate Spidey is my favorite Spidey series)

[Peanut]

The Kraven fight has completely ruined this game for me. Completely.

[GK Punk]

How far are you? After I did that mission I just worked on Gaining experience doing city alert missions and races. It kind of helped break the monotiny(sp?)

...just wanted to jump on the band wagon and say spidey 2 was an awesome game

My completion % says 52 or something along those lines. I'm symbiote Spidey, I've done basically everything else left to do, my only other options are two ridiculously hard gang missions, the last ones for each, I think. I get passed the first fight with Kraven where he transforms into a couple different animals, and now I have to fight him allllll over again, accept he's invisible, and lizards are constantly respawning all over the room. Yeah, great boss design there.

[GK Punk]

yeah.. the Kraven battles sucked

Maybe you're just a great big pushover? I find it amusing how nowadays whenever a boss battle is difficult, it's considered a negative and quickly blamed on bad game design. Then again, I've never played the game in question, so my point may be moot.

Umm...Yeah.

I agree. Ultimate Spider-Man ruled.

Eh? **** you, buddy. I'm not against hard games at ALL! It's when the difficulty is based on shoddy design and cheap mechanics that I get pissed. Case in point, games like God of War on God Mode, Ninja Gaiden, Gears of War on Insane, etc. don't frustrate me, because they're not cheap, they just force you to act quicker and play better.

Most of the boss fights in this game are based purely on luck. Will the boss decide to just run headlong into a wall, or will he magically pull off three un-blockable/un-reversible attacks in a row, then get you into a lock where three enemies can just close in and attack you over and over, without you being able to do anything about it.

Nice job on the edit, too. You and your assumptions. Like you said, you never played the game, so why even open your big ****ing yap? You haven't been in here for awhile, so why not just **** off out of here again? No one gives a **** what you think, anyways.

[GK Punk]

The game's boss battle are pretty unfair a lot of the time. And 9 times out of 10 depend on luck. Like the Morbius battle for example. It has nothing to do with Skill, more luck.

Yeah, I thought the whole "wuss" thing might seem just a tad harsh. Thankfully, you were able to catch it before I thought better of it and really put me in my place. Now you're everybody's hero.

I'm flattered you noticed. Now I feel all special and important.

[Peanut]

It was more because I hadn't read any ignorant comments in awhile. Besides Logic Donny at least.

Ahh, I see...Well, at least mine are reasonably coherent. Should be a nice change of pace, no?

[Brodie]

I concur. I can read his snide comments.

PS: Lionking was an amazing movie game.

[LogicDonny]

you guys summon me?

i'm sorry but your comments are insulting to me and to other people.

lower the insults here please.
