    What's the worst Spider-Man game you’ve ever played? Chances are, you said The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Now, what's the worst Spider-Man movie you’ve ever seen? Uh oh, that’s a pattern. Nearly everything tied to The Amazing Spider-Man 2 was a disaster, and while the discussions of the movie's good and bad aspects have been talked about at length online, The video game never got the same attention, at least, not the attention it was looking for. Yea, this game was panned heavily on release, and I want to find out why. I have a soft spot for this game because, for years, this was the only Spider-Man game I could play on my PS4, as I sold my PS3, and my other Spider-Man games, to get said PS4, which does mean I sort of had to like it at the time. But, now I have access to a ton of great Spider-Man games, so I can look at the game with a critical lens.
    So, I want to answer; was The Amazing Spider-Man 2 good, if so or if not, then why? Or perhaps, should you buy it? Well I can answer that one for free; no, because you can’t buy it. Activision did not renew the licence for their Spider-Man games, meaning any old Spider-Man game needs to be bought physically, or you gotta sail the high seas. Now, we would never condone piracy here on the That Boy Aqua channel, but I can say that purchasing these games through classified vendors is extremely easy, except for The Amazing Spider-Man 2, and I think this says a lot about the games reputation. Many of these vendors have mission objectives along the lines of wanting to preserve abandoned games so they aren’t lost to time, and yet, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is a tough find. So basically, these websites are saying we want to preserve video games, but not this one, cause this one sucks. Well, does The Amazing Spider-Man 2 suck? I mean, sort of, but it's more complicated than that.
    Before we get too ahead of ourselves, I have to mention that while you may seem stuttering or performance issues here I don’t want to hold it against the game, because there's a good chance that I’m not playing the most up-to-date version, as when purchasing the game through aforementioned vendors, you can’t always get an update. I can in good faith assume that performance issues, of which there were plenty, are likely fixed, but no amount of patches, plastic surgery, or even paper bags could fix the monstrosities on display. This is what most astounds me about The Amazing Spider-Man 2; it looks worse than the first game! How, the heck, does that happen? Keep in mind, The Amazing Spider-Man one released on the previous console generation, and while it too had some questionable art decisions, the massive phone for a minimap that takes up what feels like half the screen was a head scratcher, but genuinely everything here looks worse.
    The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is a movie unlike any other and The Amazing Spiderman 2 game is much the same. A sequel to The Amazing Spider-Man movie, not The Amazing Spiderman game, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 in 2024 is regarded as one of the worst Spider-Man games ever. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 game was panned upon release, and considered worse than The Amazing Spider-Man game that came before it. After Marvel's Spider-Man 2, looking at The Amazing Spider-Man 2 years later is a sobering experience in terms of realising how good we have it. The not so Amazing Spider-Man 2 is something I planned to look at with more depth. I intended for this The Amazing Spider-Man 2 critique, part of my ongoing Spider-Man retrospective, to be really positive. The That Boy Aqua Spider-Man videos have generally been positive ones, and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Game was supposed to follow this trend, but alas, TASM 2 the movie and TASM 2 Game have a lot in common in terms of quality. This The Amazing Spider-Man 2 review aims to explore that.

    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.

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.

      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.

      ​​​@@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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    probably an unpopular opinion but i highly disagree that Tasm 2 is the worst spider man movie.

      also im not saying that the writing isnt dog shit in tasm 2 because it is and the script is terrible but to me the movie was enjoyable simply because of the swinging, action and humor also that ending was one of the most brutal, tragic and emotional things ive witnessed from a spider-man movie, and for what andrew was given he had an amazing performance even with the shitty script. but Tom Hollands spider-man has virtually no swinging and boring action and you feel disconnected from the movie the entire time and its hard to get immersed when flash randomly pops up and acts like the biggest douche bag when he himself is a loser, at least in tasm flash acts like a real human, mcu flash is just in the movies way more than he needs to be. and not to hate on tom Holland but he just takes me out of all the emotional scenes, for aunt mays death i lowkey laughed because of how shit his acting was in that scene

    Fun fact, this game was preparing the 3rd game with the Sinister Six formed by:
    Vulture,Hobglobin or Green Globin/Harry,Rhino,Doctor Octopus,Sandman and Mysterio Being led by the Chameleon and Wilson Fisk/Kingpin and there are villains who were arrested by police officer Jeandewolf and they exist in this universe are they:
    The Hood,The Rose,The Enforcers and Big Man/Crime Master
    and a curiosity about the two games:
    It was for the Wolf-Man,Morbius,Doctor Octopus,Vulture and Kraven It was for him appear In the first game and Kraven would hunt all those creatures that we fight that are classic villains in this game but they are hideous horror creatures even so this idea went into the second game in Kraven's mansion but with few villains
    In the game the amazing Spiderman 2 Morbius and his gang of vampires would appear but were deleted Several others villains exist in this universe that have not yet been shown as:
    Wolf-Man,Morbius,Hydro-Man and The Hammerhead vs Mister Negative the Gang War that Shocker says in one of the lines that they hate each other and are trying to kill each other and finally the Venom being the final boss of the 3rd game alongside the Sinister Six Based on Andrew Garfield's Movies from an alternate universe Being the end of the game trilogy With Venom alongside several villains That exist in this universe and were not placed and used yet.. They left it for a sequel that will never happen.. To close this Saga unfortunately very sad.. Who knew that? and wanted All these things and one more game? 🤔🥺😭😔🤧 like and Bye!

    I actually liked this game when I played it cause it was the newest Spider-Man game at the time. 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.

    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.

    • @Shahriyararin63

    It's kind of crazy how much the insomniac games took from this one, but just made everything better. Like it reuses a lot of the same mechanics as this one like swinging people to an ambulance and car chase stopping. It just makes it all 100% better. 😅😅

    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.

  • @davemk9

    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.

  • @dkirby9052

    This is hands down the worst Spider-Man game I have ever played. The Hero/Menace system is so horrifyingly bad that it overshadows anything good about this game. On paper it is not a bad idea, BUT the way it is implemented is just awful. It doesn't really become a nightmare until those soldier guys come into the picture.
    You have to respond to alerts and complete them successfully in order to keep your hero meter up. However, the alerts pop up so frequently and go away so quickly that you really have to devote all your time to keep it up and even then it is hard to keep up with all the alerts. There is a suit that helps with hero meter gain, but one thing I don't want out of my Spider-Man game is to be forced to wear a particular suit because the Hero/Menace mechanic hates when you do things like try to have fun. God forbid I just want to swing through New York without being harassed.

    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.

  • @peculiar3529
    @peculiar3529 18 วันที่ผ่านมา

    TASM 2 the movie isn’t even bad. It is the only movie that did Spider-Man humor and charisma well, and it is by far the best looking Spider-Man movie with the best action and swinging. The main characters are the best adaptations of these characters on the big screen. Peter and Gwen are near perfect. Gwen’s death is handled phenomenally, with the clock tower serving as obvious symbolism and also just a beautiful spot for a fight scene. Gwen’s speech at the end is amazing. The villains hardly hurt the movie. It’s like Iron man 1 like at the end the villain just turns fucking mentally insane and is willing to just kill whoever, but in TASM there’s more reason for the villain to be crazy (he’s using some shit that makes him crazy 😮). The stupid ass final battle in Iron man 1 doesn’t ruin all the great character work in that movie and it doesn’t ruin the character work in TASM 2 either.

    Insomniac needs to take notes from the crimes in this game cause Spider-Man 2’s crime system is so ass. Like every crime is just fighting a group of enemies and that’s it or finding a car and pressing 2 buttons to stop it. They need to add more stuff like saving people from fires, saving hostages stealthily, store/bank robberies, bombs threats, kidnappings, car chases involving skill not a qte, crimes in buildings which you can freely enter, maybe some minor D-tier villains with boss fights or chases,

  • @b1ackspid3r43

    I don't know why they didn't do with what they did with the first game by having it take place after the movie, it would've been so cool to see Peter go through hunting Ben's killer, taking on Cletus Kassidy & Kraven with both of them trying to convince you to kill with Peter still suffering from Gwen's death.
    Hell, they could've opened the game right after the movie with Spider-man fighting Rhino! But instead we get a game that as NO connection to the movie, even Ben's death is different, at least with the first game I could see it as a sequel to TASM1 but I just can't with this one

The swinging isn't amazing but is a unique and fun system regardless. And it looks great on the smaller screen with the graphics cranked and still runs at a locked 30 fps (60 only works with Vsync turned off, but it was 30 fps on Xbox 360 so I don't care tbh). I main the Edge of time suit, a texture mod for the Miles suit, that looks absolutely amazing
