This third-person action-adventure game, Spider-Man 2, is based on the sequel to the critically acclaimed film of the same name that was released in 2002. Once again, the player assumes the role of the web-slinger as he faces off against Doctor Octopus.
In contrast to the first game, however, the sequel is significantly more open-ended (in the style of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City). This gives Spider-Man the freedom to roam around New York City and carry out a variety of heroic deeds, including putting a stop to muggings, bank robberies, and carjackings in addition to less exciting activities like delivering pizzas and taking pictures for the Daily Bugle.
However, the action becomes even more intense because Spider-Man not only has to keep the streets of Manhattan safe in general for the citizens of Manhattan, but he also has to face up against such super villains as Rhino, Shocker, Mysterio, and Calypso, as well as a few entanglements with the Black Cat along the way to square off against Doctor Octopus and save New York in the process!
