I played this game when I was in kindergarten, it was bought by my dad, and at that time, Spiderman 2 had already been out for almost a year. I didn't know it was a bad game for many people, but I had fun playing it. It's a perfect game for young children.
You know what the sad thing is? This is the Spider-Man 2 I actually owned as a kid. Yeah I didn't own the console version. I'd rent it from the local video store all the time, but never actually bought it. I had this instead. And I think even back than I couldn't shake the feeling of "Wow...this kinda sucks."
When I was a kid I played the first two Spider-Man Games on my cousins GameCube then a couple years ago my friend Gave me his original Xbox from 2001 so then I went to eBay and bought Spider-Man and Ultimate Spider-Man I'm probably Gonna buy myself Spider-Man 2 since it's such a classic historical Game

Used to play it on my PC when I was 5-6 years old. The problem then was that it would always crash on a cutscene before entering Mysterio's stage. Maybe it was because I had too little ram. Never beat it because of that.
i played SM2 on the PS2 first. then i played this version years later when i was trying to get a good PC for gaming. at the time i never knew it was an entirely different game and it blew me away with how bad it was xD

I'd like to know in what universe Dishonored is "underrated". It had an extremely positive reception, still is generally liked (to my knowledge), and got a sequel that is, at worst, equal to its predecessor. Just because a disposition towards a game moves from "critical acclaim" to "well-liked" after close to a decade of time to criticize it, find everything wrong with it, and for other games to come along to challenge it doesn't make it "underrated". This is like the arguments that break out over a rating of 7 vs. a 9, or if you've heard of Jim Sterling with Breath of the Wild, an 8 or 9 instead of a 10. That said, it would be an interesting video, at least. Might even segue into a newfound interest for stealth-em-ups, which does make me wonder if he'd have any interest in the Styx games (which aren't great, from what I've heard, but possibly still fun) or the legendary Thief series (an excellent but rushed first game, a fantastic second game, and a third game that...can be good at times and has a fantastic horror level, but suffers immensely from having to compromise for consoles).
There's a similar scene in the Spider-Man 1 game where after Spider-Man saves Mary Jane during the first encounter with the Goblin, the panda balloon Spidey rescues MJ from falls down into the streets while the citizens scream in fear.
Porsche Unleashed had the exact same problem except it was in reverse. The Playstation version was shite while the PC one was great. Noodle has a great video where he talks about it lmao. Idk y this was a thing but back in the day, the only spiderman 2 game I knew was this one xD
It's meant for 8yr olds and I played it when I was 8 and that damn arrow haunts me to this day. Then got to play the console version and realize what real gaming was, put that aside too and played neversofts spiderman for the 50th time and enjoyed that for a few years more still
the only reason I know about Puma is because he was in the black suit saga of the comics as a cursed billionaire that can change from human form to the puma form you see in the game, and his major contribution was him thinking that Spider-Man's webs were organic since Peter was wearing the black suit at the time which made webs itself, which was actually a big plotpoint since that realisation is what helped Spidey beat Venom for the first time
How could Activision not port the best Spider-man game on consoles to PC like they did with Spider-Man (2000) and Spider-Man (2002). They had one job ONE JOB!
I literally just bought Spider-man 2 on the gamecube and played it for the first time last night. AWESOME EXPERIENCE! Btw, sorry you wasted 2 hours of your life on this game. Thanks for the review.
For me, this was the Spider-Man 2 game. Where i'm from, very few of us had consoles and we didn't even buy games. We were just pirating them. I only found out about the PS2 version after 2015 and I never thought it was anything special, tbh.
@@Darklordjadow1 It is very catchy.....that's the problem. Once I hear it, I hum it all day long and it never leaves my mind for ages afterwards. And it gets gradually faster. I was actually pretty good at the pizza missions, some of them got really tough later on.
Spider man 2 THE first open world superhero game? Oh no, I believe that honour goes to Batman and Robin on the PS1. It’d be cool to see a review of that fantastic game lol. Great video as always btw
Had no idea the pc version was crap! Glad to know now. Great review as always. By the way, there's another simulator game you may want to try (maybe not). Hunting Simulator for PS4. I've played it. It's......not great. Bring your pillow, you'll be snoozing. Lol.
actually, is it just me or does the adrenaline mode spidey look like a predecessor to the Fear Itself spiderman? the neon blue spidey suit with gauntlet blades
I always wonder what convinced companies back in the day to make completely different games like this for the PC release. Were they convinced that the controls and gameplay wouldn't work on a keyboard and mouse so they felt they had to completely change the game to compensate?
Yeah because back then pcs werent as powerfull as consoles... Its the reason SDKs were made from actial console parts! Plus they had to make it so the game would run on a consumer grade pc rig from the era
@@alex_-yz9to That makes a lot of sense actually. Still it's always funny to see stuff like this considering the wizardry we've seen companies pull off before with these different game versions.
I remember playing this one on my old PC. I know the game is objectively trash, but back then I didn't have those expensive consoles and didn't even know another one exists and this game seemed insanely good. But to be honest, the nostalgia is great and I used to love the game. There's a charm with these old, shitty games and I get a lot of nostalgia from this one.
Man, I loved the PS2 game as a kid. But it eventually bugged out, and one of the timers wouldn't appear, and the game became unplayable. Still better then the PC. Also, we're going to see a news article about Activision (or just Activision Blizzard) filing for bankruptcy in the future, aren't we? Update: So, I found out a while ago that Microsoft bought Activision-Blizzard. So no bankruptcy in the future.
At least the GBA version was decent. The GBA version was developed by Digital Eclipse and like the pc version it also has Puma in the game. It also had a sewer level and Lizard boss fight that was cut out of the main console versions
I 'member this game ruining my childhood. First Spider-Man The Movie was PC exclusive for a time, and a benchmark title too, and the sequel got so shitty treatment. I'll never understand why they just didn't port PS2 game, but instead made a whole new toddler's game instead. I played actual Spider Man The Movie 2 years later, but it was too late to leave any real impressions on me. How about play PSP version of Spider Man The Movie 2? It's also its own version, but not as crappy. Having this version ported to PC would be huge improvement too.
Man I loved playing this beautiful disaster right after school. As much as it had so many problems, I absolutely loved it. The mysterio section was my favorite. I also found a way to break the game by defeating puma early and somehow it leads to level selection? Lollll
Trouble by Mark Millar. A comic that tells the tale of the teenage adventures of Uncle Ben, Aunt May, and Richard and Mary Parker (mostly their sex lives). It became *infamous* for the reveal that Richard and May had an affair and that Peter was actually May's child by birth, not Mary. It has since been debunked and considered non-canon by both Marvel and fans. Thank God.
I found out about it when I was perusing the strategy guide at a Blockbuster. I saw two levels I didn't recognize and it said "if you don't have this on X-Box, skip to the Razorbat level". I was PISSED.
Have you ever considered talking about the N64 Spider-Man, the first movie game, and the real Spider-Man 2 game more in depth, I'm interested in hearing more of your thoughts on them. Also, there was actually another Spider-Man game between the N64 game and the first movie game. It was called Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro, and was basically a followup to the N64 game. However, it was PS1 exclusive, so I'm not sure if you'd be able to play it.
I've thought about it; I haven't jumped in because I don't know if I'll have much to say on them. But I can try. I know Enter Electro exists, but I can't play it since it skipped the N64
@@Darklordjadow1 Yeah I figured. It's basically more of the first game just with some tweaks to the gameplay and slightly more open levels. It's probably best known for being one of several games that had to be modified due to the 9/11 attacks, because the last level originally took place on the Twin Towers, which was changed to put a bridge between them and removing some of the defining features they had. Interestingly, copies of the original version do exist, but they're extremely rare, and only recently have ROMs of it appeared online.
What i find sad is that Amaze entratainement is capable of making good stuff and ironically most of their good stuff was attached to IPS with mixed reception, such as the 2 portable RPGs based upon the horrible movie adaptation of the book series ERAGON and the DS port of Crash of the Titans, the reboot no crash fan liked even if the combat mechanics had some miniscule depth.
Spiderman 64/2000 kicked ass back then, kicks ass right now Ehhh, I saw this when I was younger and was unimpressed. Spiderman 2 PC has only one thing in common with the bigger ports and that's Mysterios stage being visually Obscure but it's also the only highlight from what I seen Also good to see you flexing that editing skills in this review adds a whole new level of depth of the game and it's past-game comparisons
This is hardly the only multiplatform title where the PC version is both completely different and far worse. Battle for Bikini Bottom on PC is a point-and-click adventure game instead of a 3D platformer, and 007 Nightfire is made by Gearbox instead and blows chunks.
I feel like the first two times you brought up the Activision Drama was a little forced. Don't get me wrong, I loved when you said "Art imitates life" was pretty clever. I defended Activision on my channel before, I may need to make a video talking about the lawsuit.
1:30 that is gonna be me whenever you start a review of something infamously bad, or review another superman game, if their are anymore for you to review
The only remaining hi def Superman game I'm aware of is Superman: Man of Steel on the XBox... not backwards compatible with the 360. So there's one more... don't know if I'll get to it.
A lawsuit by thousands of female employees has been filed for metric fuckloads of sexual harrassment, discrimination of a sexual nature, bullying to the point one female employee took her own life; the list goes on and on and I'm not really qualified to dig into it.
Imagine if Marvel’s Spider-Man also had a PC release alongside the PS4 version but they had it developed by a much less competent dev instead of Insomniac like what SM2 suffered
Those damn burns on Activision and their disgusting stupidity And I did had this game as a kid as it was one of those random pirated pc games that we owned back then, although I get the feeling that it may have been a demo. Only played it a few times and that was it.
i played the demo of this years ago, and ehhh, but i might be the only person on the planet who calls spiderman 2 (actual version) overrated, okay hear me out, i will admit the open world is the best feature, but i hate the web swinging that required you to swing from something (especially with the boat rescues and statue of mystero level) the boss fights with doc ock where some of the most infuriating levels i ever played, that fucking balloon was annoying, i get so many people like the game but i have different tastes, and besides spiderman ps4 outclassed all the things spiderman 2 did well
That comic is Trouble: a 5-issue miniseries chronicling how Aunt May, Uncle Ben, and Spider-Man's parents met... as horny teenagers working summer jobs at a hotel where they cheat on each other and it turns out Aunt May is Spider-Man's biological mother.
19:51 Naw, needs more slo-mo and the colors would need to be completely desaturated and the aspect ratio would need to be 4:3 in order for it to be considered 100% Zack Snyder. Though the casual, careless collateral damage indirectly caused by the main hero is on point.

At least we have Mayday Parker Spider-Girl.
24:04 I think that's supposed to be a refrence to Kaboom. An Activision game made on the Atari 2600. Oh the mega irony...
12:43 saved me having to ask if you know about Kraven being exclusive to the Xbox version of SM1
I found out about it when I was perusing the strategy guide at a Blockbuster. I saw two levels I didn't recognize and it said "if you don't have this on X-Box, skip to the Razorbat level".
I was PISSED.
Have you ever considered talking about the N64 Spider-Man, the first movie game, and the real Spider-Man 2 game more in depth, I'm interested in hearing more of your thoughts on them.
Also, there was actually another Spider-Man game between the N64 game and the first movie game. It was called Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro, and was basically a followup to the N64 game. However, it was PS1 exclusive, so I'm not sure if you'd be able to play it.
I've thought about it; I haven't jumped in because I don't know if I'll have much to say on them. But I can try.
I know Enter Electro exists, but I can't play it since it skipped the N64
@@Darklordjadow1 Yeah I figured. It's basically more of the first game just with some tweaks to the gameplay and slightly more open levels. It's probably best known for being one of several games that had to be modified due to the 9/11 attacks, because the last level originally took place on the Twin Towers, which was changed to put a bridge between them and removing some of the defining features they had.
Interestingly, copies of the original version do exist, but they're extremely rare, and only recently have ROMs of it appeared online.
wow, the snyder cut of the train scene is horrible, like i didnt see that coming
What i find sad is that Amaze entratainement is capable of making good stuff and ironically most of their good stuff was attached to IPS with mixed reception, such as the 2 portable RPGs based upon the horrible movie adaptation of the book series ERAGON and the DS port of Crash of the Titans, the reboot no crash fan liked even if the combat mechanics had some miniscule depth.
When are you planning on uploading your two-part retrospective on the 3D Sonic games.
This is a nice Saturday surprise
The takeaway I got from this review:
You wanna play Spider-Man 2 on PC? Just emulate the console version.
Spiderman 64/2000 kicked ass back then, kicks ass right now
Ehhh, I saw this when I was younger and was unimpressed. Spiderman 2 PC has only one thing in common with the bigger ports and that's Mysterios stage being visually Obscure but it's also the only highlight from what I seen
Also good to see you flexing that editing skills in this review adds a whole new level of depth of the game and it's past-game comparisons
SURF THE WEB
I was scrolling down to make a Zack Snyder joke about that train scene when you made the joke yourself
I expected an Incredibles joke, as both movies involve the main heroes trying to stop a train.
Good thing we got Insomniac to thank for coming close to Spiderman 2's legacy
I would say they surpassed Spider-Man 2
@@Jasonvoorhees57469 I would say they didn't.
Insomniac's is a lot better.
You should review Rango on wii
This shit was my childhood
This is hardly the only multiplatform title where the PC version is both completely different and far worse. Battle for Bikini Bottom on PC is a point-and-click adventure game instead of a 3D platformer, and 007 Nightfire is made by Gearbox instead and blows chunks.
I feel like the first two times you brought up the Activision Drama was a little forced. Don't get me wrong, I loved when you said "Art imitates life" was pretty clever. I defended Activision on my channel before, I may need to make a video talking about the lawsuit.
I remember being so pissed when I bought this game and they had the stupid web targets for swinging lol!
1:30 that is gonna be me whenever you start a review of something infamously bad, or review another superman game, if their are anymore for you to review
The only remaining hi def Superman game I'm aware of is Superman: Man of Steel on the XBox... not backwards compatible with the 360. So there's one more... don't know if I'll get to it.
What’s going on with Activision?
A lawsuit by thousands of female employees has been filed for metric fuckloads of sexual harrassment, discrimination of a sexual nature, bullying to the point one female employee took her own life; the list goes on and on and I'm not really qualified to dig into it.
@@Darklordjadow1 Holy crap. I knew Activision was a horrible company. But geez.
Spider-Man 2 on PSP next. I don't care if you have to emulate.
Hello DLJ, I am a big fan of you, would you like to make a review on a game I am working on?
Imagine if Marvel’s Spider-Man also had a PC release alongside the PS4 version but they had it developed by a much less competent dev instead of Insomniac like what SM2 suffered
Imagine if Sony gave the PC port to Digital Homicide...
Can you review monster hunter stories 2 wings of ruin?
12:11 so... what happens in that comic exactly?...
Aunt May is biologically Peter's mum
Those damn burns on Activision and their disgusting stupidity
And I did had this game as a kid as it was one of those random pirated pc games that we owned back then, although I get the feeling that it may have been a demo. Only played it a few times and that was it.
More Spider-man game reviews... yeeyaa
When the train derailed I died of laughter.
Have you ever considered reviewing the n64 game or first movie game?
The game still has Bruce Campbell unlike the psp version :)
i played the demo of this years ago, and ehhh, but i might be the only person on the planet who calls spiderman 2 (actual version) overrated, okay hear me out, i will admit the open world is the best feature, but i hate the web swinging that required you to swing from something (especially with the boat rescues and statue of mystero level) the boss fights with doc ock where some of the most infuriating levels i ever played, that fucking balloon was annoying, i get so many people like the game but i have different tastes, and besides spiderman ps4 outclassed all the things spiderman 2 did well
Question, what's the joke at 12:12? I'm really curious.
That comic is Trouble: a 5-issue miniseries chronicling how Aunt May, Uncle Ben, and Spider-Man's parents met... as horny teenagers working summer jobs at a hotel where they cheat on each other and it turns out Aunt May is Spider-Man's biological mother.
@@Darklordjadow1 Oh........ok, I get it now.
Oh yes!
Can you review the first game?
Ok I see you Followed up with the comic I mention last time cool
will you still be doing a review on the console version of this game?
I know the game is shitty, but damn... Childhood. Still playing (mostly modding the game into a unfunny meme)
Do you like Gunstar Heroes?
19:51 Naw, needs more slo-mo and the colors would need to be completely desaturated and the aspect ratio would need to be 4:3 in order for it to be considered 100% Zack Snyder.
Though the casual, careless collateral damage indirectly caused by the main hero is on point.
i thought i'm the only one having a grudge with this game back then
You're not; I've been getting requests for this game for years.
