This game blew me away when it first came out. It's easy to take sandbox spider-man games for granted these days but to experience a sandbox spider-man game where you can web swing around New-York in 2003 was unimaginable.
11:31 Getting kids balloons back is the most annoying side mission to the point they made fun of it in the Ultimate Spider-Man game by having Venom eat a kid.
I think it's also refeneced twice in Marvel's Spider-Man. One in a drawing from the backpacks you collect. And another in one of the those Twitter-esq feed messages where some lady mentions that her child's balloon was floating away and Spider-Man did nothing.
Harry taking about Spider-man killing his dad in this game is kinda funny when you remember that in the first movie game MJ and Peter made out next to Norman's dead body
@@sunday1409 spider man 1 was like a homage to Neversoft spider man on ps1 including how he web swing when the web isn't attaching to anything it had the same issues that ps1 spider man and later in tasm 1 & 2 games and u couldn't be on the ground as well just like ps1 spider man. but in this game it was the first open world spider man that has interactive citizens when exploring through the streets, and u can actually be on the ground, web swing that actually attached to the buildings, u can tie up enemies to the traffic lights there was soo many side missions and things that u can do this shit was ahead of it's time and it's nothing like spider man 1 which that game pretty much spider man ps1 with a movie tie in plot.
@@AimForMyHead81 *"Yup and it uses an actual physics system unlike the insomniac game which gives off the illusion of momentum"* I can't tell you how badly it ticks me off what has happened to gameplay and physics.
@@austinsavage5962 Believe me, that's already apparent to me. I'm just frustrated that I have to go back to a 20-year-old game to get superior gameplay mechanics.
I really loved this game. This was one of the best superhero games. For its time, i was really impressed by the ragdoll physics, the graphics for its time, the swinging, the day and night cycle, the map and my god , there were so many godamn interiors.
The map was so detailed in this game, that when I first visited NYC at 10, my mom said I knew my way around the city just by looking at the buildings. I would admire all the skyscrapers and get so excited when I had an idea of which part of the city we were in 😂 I remember we were about to start heading back to our family’s house in New Jersey, but I wanted to find a certain unique building I saw in the game before we left. I remember we went walking around for like 30 minutes cuz I could “feel” that we were getting close. At some point, we actually found the building and I just remember feeling like a million bucks! Not only did it look cooler in person, but it made me feel like I was in the game! A dream come true for 10-year old me who played this game all the time as a kid 😁
@@TheAnonymousIndividual Yep it definitely is an amazing game! I just asked my mom more about when we visited NYC when I was 10, and she said that when we went to the top of the Empire State Building, I was pointing out different landmarks and buildings that I recognized from the game. And later when we got lost in the city near the library, she said her and my dad checked the map to see which way to go for our next destination and we were going to head one way, but I said “I think it’s this way” and they followed me and it ended up being the right way. I remember them cheering me on when we got to where we needed to go.
I had it on PC first, it was a completely different game and one of the worst games I’ve ever played, it was one of the main reasons that I switched to consoles (a GameCube too)
This title was amazing, perhaps the greatest movie game I've ever played. That phenomenon surrounding games looking nowhere near as real as you remember back in the day, is caused by modern monitors stretching out graphics which were designed to be played on a blocky TV. One quick remaster job, and you'll all find this game holds up incredibly well.
9:47 Well kinda,Harry isn't voice by James Franco but a VA name Josh Keaton who voice Spiderman in Spectacular Spiderman tv series and Electro in Spiderman PS4.
6:49 a core memory of mine is me pointing to the cutscene of her hugging spiderman (they cut it) and saying how realistic it looked to my cousin 😂😂lol.
The two biggest things I didn’t like about Spider-Man 2 was the lack of alternate costumes and mission replayability. Other than those, it was a pretty nice game.
Dude this was one of the games that proved you dont need great graphics to be a good game. Also Bruce Campbell did narrate the first games tutorial as well.
What in the hell was up with the enemy at 12:57??!! I can't tell what knocked him down - was it Spider-man or the uncontrollable momentum generated by his rotating fists, lollll
my brother and in LOVED THIS GAME!! when the ballon kid lost his balloon we stole the balloon and never gave it back and took a thug to the empire state and threw him off.
Why does no one pay respect to the original PS1 Spiderman. That was the first one and only one that had Stan Lee as the narrator, and the first to show the Spiderman multi verse with all the different costumes
Nice to see your triumphant return with a game I LOVED back in the day. Of course, there's technical things about it that've aged, but overall, it holds up great and still remains a fun time.
Been binging this channel for the past week or so and I’m excited to see them cover one of my favorite childhood games. I think it might be worth looking at Revenge of the Sith on PS2 if you want another great movie adaptation. Plus the multiplayer is a fun experience
As a kid born in 1994 playing this game was monumental to my childhood. I actually have to disagree with this one. I got it for my birthday when it was new to the ps2. I’ll never forget playing this for hours during summer vacation and eating spicy cheezits, getting heart burn 😂 man I miss the early 2000’s
I just saw the notification that they had a new video, and I went to the corner and cried out of happiness. Welcome back guys! Btw: Can you guys check out Ultimate Spiderman for the PS2 please?
This game was the best out of the 3 Original Movie Series. The 3rd one ws all over the place and felt rushed, the first one was fun but ot had the mid air swinging feature where you couldnt go down into the city withoit dying.
Great to have you back guys I'm hoping you guys eventually get to playing Fantastic four the silver surfer game I forgot what it was called but its interesting
Now that you want us to mention games I have a few in mind, both of wich I mentioned on the Reddit, both for PS2. We got a trip to Bikini Bottom with SpongeBob SquarePants Creature from the Kristy Krab, and Coraline, based on the movie
This was hard to watch. I feel like as an 8 year old who couldn't understand English at the time, I somehow managed to get a better grasp of the game's mechanics than you guys. But this was pretty fun to watch, the Limp Bizkit references really got me.
This is actually my favorite game of all time. It takes ages to get the controls and do everything right, I will admit... BUT... when you're a pro, it NEVER stops being fun. Once you master the manual (MAXIMUM PRECISION) swinging in this game, It's WAAAAAY better than the PS4 games. You can't even do loops in the new ones, but it is possible (and eventually becomes easy) in Spider-Man 2 once you build up enough momentum and skill. It looks derpy and "cwinge" for first time players, but I feel that was a perfect and hilarious introduction that just made me fall in love with this game. Props to the developers for actually rewarding practice and grind. It always feels like you're learning how to swing more efficiently. Just keep listening to everything Bruce Campbell has to say and mastering the gameplay becomes so freaking fun.
it's not a mess it's a classic it was the first spider man game to web swing with the web attaching to the buildings it was ahead of it's time Treyarch was innovative i love alot of the side missions including black cat things that wasn't in the movie but it expanded that universe with fresh ideas by far the best movie game there is. it was called the greatest spider man game of all time back in my day. this game is my childhood as well.
I remember wanting this so bad as a kid but being told no because it was rated T (radical pseudo-religious parents). The tagline on the cover, “there’s nowhere you can’t go,” was tantalizing as someone who always prioritized exploration over anything else in a game. Nice to found out all these years later, that apparently at the start of the game there’s nowhere you CAN go 😂
I remember having Spider-Man 2 at my house for about 6 months with gamefly lol I probably paid $100 for it back when we thought those were the best physics around
Alot of the graphical errors you saw where issues with upscaling and emulation mostly. Still looks rough on the PS2 native but the flat cars and weird dude on the roof etc arent present
Jeez guys. What a way to filter yourself. Unironically unsubbed comparing modern shitshow games to PS2 stuff. Like bravo ya the graphics are slightly better.
I never played this game but back in my day, I used to go to a daycare center (because my parents had to go to work all the time) and there was a PS2 console for the schoolchildren. When it worked years ago, we had games like Spiderman 2, Rachet and Clank, Lego Batman, and many others. We even had an accessory called the EyeToy and the EyeToy Play game. We all played this game due to it's easy motion controls. This game was ahead of it's time way before Wii Sports and Wii Fit. But I remember all the cool kids playing Spiderman 2 though and the annoying balloon task where you could grab a balloon for a crying child.
I had this on GameCube and I loved it. The fact that you had to webswing using buildings and not just the air was great. Ultimate Spiderman was fantastic too.

I still love this game
Totally AGREE
Batman and Robin PS1 did it first
11:31 Getting kids balloons back is the most annoying side mission to the point they made fun of it in the Ultimate Spider-Man game by having Venom eat a kid.
I loved ultimate Spider-Man too bad they cancelled the planned sequel
Technically the kid survived.
Plus, how dare that kid cry. Venom was just showing him something cool.
They did? LOL
I think it's also refeneced twice in Marvel's Spider-Man.
One in a drawing from the backpacks you collect.
And another in one of the those Twitter-esq feed messages where some lady mentions that her child's balloon was floating away and Spider-Man did nothing.

I played through this game 3 times as a kid and I never had the area unavailable issue. Just go through the tutorial like normal.

The song Funiculì, Funiculà existed long before this game

Hearing the words “ splooge” and “ spunk” being said in an American accent has really made my day
Clearly you haven't watched Nostalgia Critic or AVGN since they say splooge
This game is still great lol. I played it for the og Xbox. I still have a copy of it at my grandmas house somewhere
Fun fact: Harry Osborn is voiced by Josh Keaton, who has voiced Spider-Man in the Spectacular Spider-Man show
Also voiced Ocelot in MGS3
Glad you’re back! I loved this game and the nostalgia rings true. That soundtrack was amazing.

Got a puppy and you guys came back. Seriously this day can’t get any better
The incredible PS2 next! Would love to see you play dash level
That 100% had to be John Dimaggio voicing Rhino
The web swinging is so deep and complex yet satisfying. You gotta use the normal swinging tho
man the nostalgia for me was crazy , it definitely was worth the wait
What a phenomenal game to come back to so glad u guys r back 🙂
Be quiet
I hope you guys get more support through TH-cam. You guys have been really funny for these 2 years. Love you guys 👍
The two biggest things I didn’t like about Spider-Man 2 was the lack of alternate costumes and mission replayability. Other than those, it was a pretty nice game.

i use to love messing up the pizza while delivering it great times

This game looks wonky and messy but this is the true jewel treasured in my heart. I freaking love this game!!!
The craziest thing about this in 2024 is remembering you needed a Memory Card to save any game on a PS2

Spider-Man 2 was unbelievable when it first released 🔥😭 gave the same feel as the modern day ones
Y’all are hilarious 😂I laughed the whole video. Had to subscribe
I wish you guys would show cuts from the entire game and not just the beginning. Can’t get enough
Spiderman 2 isn' t mess and hilarious mess,Spiderman 2 is masterpiece!!!
