Imagine having to follow-up two of the greatest superhero games ever created. Fan expectations were through the roof. The question is: Did Insomniac deliver?

Today’s one-minute game review is on Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.

Being able to swap back and forth between Peter Parker and Miles Morales may seem a little gimmicky on the surface. But, because their special abilities are fairly different, I felt that swapping characters kept the combat from ever becoming stale.

To me, the boss fights seemed quite a bit more challenging than in the previous games, but I never got frustrated because the combat continuously felt fresh and fun throughout.

The character swapping mechanic also serves the narrative, as this game essentially has three storylines: one that follows Peter, a second revolving around Miles, and the third is the main plot that involves everyone.

I don’t think any of the storylines are particularly groundbreaking, but they’re super entertaining, and, most importantly, feel right at home as Spider-Man stories that don’t feel forced or off-brand.

From the plot, to the costumes, and the extremely satisfying web swinging, Insomniac has, once again, nailed what a Spider-Man game should be. I think Spider-Man 2 will satisfy existing fans and work to bring players to the series as well as the PlayStation ecosystem.
