Was Everyone Wrong About Spider-Man 2?

Legitimately my only issue with the game was that the story could’ve used more time to cook (give Harry/Venom more story, and give Miles and Harry a better relationship being the biggest issues) and slightly better writing during all symbiote suit/ Venom sections

That ending montage is peak. The music. The lines. The visuals. Well done Alex!!

finally glad to see people talk about insomniac in a good way. the forced hate on twitter is annoying

This is a very well made video, especially how you ran it back to aunt may telling Pete about "balance" and showing all the loving momments everyone has with each and finishing it off with a Cherry on Top editing 👌

I wish that insomniac had been able to flesh out the sorry. The Gameplay is so damned good that if the story and writing had been better it would honestly be in my top 3 games of all time.

Insomniac actually already spoke about the reason the ending feels so rushed. They said it was because they did not have enough time to finalize the 3rd act they initially wanted to have, so probably if the game were delayed it could have been even better.

Glad to see a review that isn’t totally shitting on Spider-Man 2, but instead acknowledging its flaws while also acknowledging that the game is overall fantastic. We all know the game has undeniable problems, but I love it despite its flaws.

Whatever your toughts on the second game. I think we can all agree that it has, by far THE BEST versions of Kraven and Harry.

This game is my personal favourite game of the year. And yet, it isn’t perfect. It could have done with maybe three or four more hours of story, flesh out the black suit story and make Venom a deeper villain.

Excellent video! I honestly think I feel the same way as you, even though Spider-Man 2 has its problems, it's still one of the best Spider-Man games, the love that insomniac feels for the character is really incredible and beautiful to look at and the game really is made by fan for fan, I'm very excited for the sequel!

It felt as though the story took its time in the beginning of the game, but as the story progressed, it became much for fast-paced.

You know its a good day when Alex Webb uploads

You’re really knocking it out of the park with these last few videos bud. Really getting your style down. Keep it up!

Finally. Someone online who actually likes spider-man 2

I'm always so excited when you upload a video, I really like your funny spider man essays, I was born 2009 so I was too young to see Tobey Maguire, but when I got older and figured out there was a spider man 2 game, man those were good times, now Tobey Maguire is my favorite spider man.

That final note with Balance at the end was straight poetry. Another banger Alex. I just wish this game didn't rush some of its points.

The outro of this video is a masterpiece, I really enjoyed Spider-Man 2 and I think Venom is a great villain when he possesses both Peter and Harry, corrupting their minds, and being a lot more violent.

Hilarious and well edited as always! Ps. Those last 60 seconds were fire🔥

You were 6? I was 17, and working at EB Games, first game I bought myself working there on my new SLIM Ps2. Now we're here. Thank you for your videos, they really are great.

The copyright can't stop 19 inches

The story felt rushed but everything else felt amazing! Only ever crashed when pigeons spawned in though at insane speeds.

Brilliant video, mate! While I don't think this blows the first game out of the water, it's still a ton of fun and I agree that another 5 hours would've been noice.

that ending had me feeling like i just watched the gameplay trailer for the first time

I personally loved the insomniac spider man games, I personally love spider man 2, at launch I didn’t run into any problems. My personal favourite game of 2023, baldur’s gate 3 is my 2nd favourite game this year

I loved insomniac Spider-Man it’s really awesome and as a huge fan of Spider-Man and his supporting cast this game has given me everything I ever wanted which I approve at least in my opinion.

I’ve said this in so many other spider man 2 vids, but as an Xbox fan I’m depressed forever😢

First video of this channel… love the editing

I think my favorite part of Spider-Man 2 was when I sold it on Ebay immediately after I finished the main storyline. I will never understand how people can unironically shill for this game.

This game is perfect, but one thing infuriates me. You need full energy to heal. In the other games you could heal anytime. And this has cost me so many deaths istg

feels like i had the opposite experience, every time I thought the story was about to end it kept going. I really enjoyed it and I think the side missions are amazing too. but i get where you're coming from, great video

Something feels off with the story of Spider Man 2 and how it doesn't blend together well.

Insomniac: we save the spiderman game Rocksteady: we save....no wait we killed the batman game

Holy crap I forgot about that Miles Morales Gamespot review. I'd heard about it from other youtubers, and when I went to check it out I was dying for 10 minutes.

You have the highest quality footage of spiderman 2 for the PS2 I have ever seen in a video I swear

RIP Howard: 2018-2023

I find it crazy that they made the fight between peter and miles literally ripped out of an anime fight

Despite how rushed the Venom arc seemed, the Kraven's Hunt arc more than made up for it, giving some of the best moments in the series.

I laughed so hard watching this video especially the sus part with kraven my favourite part was the Britain joke,I just subbed man and liked this was one of the funniest things I’ve ever watched on RU-vid.

Another banger video Alex. Hope you have a great new year 🥃

i honestly HATED playing as miles in the final bossfight he had no connection to harry whatsoever what made the final bossfight in the first game so good was the bond peter had with otto

That outro was 🔥🔥

leon took the award for most neccesary backflip from miles

amazingly well done video. talked about the ups and downs of a great game deserving all the love in the world

Finally, some positivity. Been so tired of the way the fanbase has been dragging Insomniac through the mud.

I noticed you changed the thumbnail

oh my god i love your editing style love your videos

It takes a while to get a video from you, but when you do upload it I be ecstatic to watch it

Insomniac Games carrying most of PS Studios with Spider-Man and Ratchet since Naughty Dog is busy between republishing TLOU for the xth time and licking Druckmann's butt.

the grandpa earl and howard side missions are some of the most emotional experiences i’ve ever had. they’re beautiful side missions

Alex, homie- I know you didn't ask, but it's always nice to see your notification. BIG fan of your editing style and your accent. I've binged your channel a month ago and I was just patiently waiting for another upload. Awesome vid, definitely getting "Wanted:Dead." It looks badass

When the world needed him the most😢 Great video as always Alex!

Spiderman 2 is amazing. Simply amazing. Awesome game. I love it.

After what Insomniac went through with the hackers, it’s good to see their games are still getting love.

The thumbnail is the best ive ever seen

I loved this game so much that when I received as a Christmas present, I ended up Platinuming the game in 3 days.

The third act was severely undercooked.

I always liked the MJ levels. It was good despite being simple. I especially loved it when they gave her a taser in the last few levels. Looks like they understood what we wanted. Audience: “I don’t like feeling weak.” Insomniac: “Give her a gun.”

meeting and talking to the grampa,howard and may in this game was inspirational and awesome

Man. I don't usually comment on videos, i've been watching you for quite some time now and i REALLY love how your videos are made, the pace the jokes and how you tell your opinions on the games, this one was really one of the best i've seen, the last bit in a epic trailer style summary was awesome, thank you so much for all the content you make and I really am looking forward yo seeing your next piece of art.

Finally, a review with the nuance I needed to hear. Your sentiments on the story are the same as mine, as I feel the story (especially when Venom arrives) needed more time to breathe.

I love the game but what they did to the MJ model is abismol. the blatant self insert is verry distracting.

Almost made me cry, beautiful video

amazing work once again alex 😤

See that's what you call a good review. Genuine love and admiration for the game while still giving criticism where it needs to be given. Great job Alex.

Spider man 2 should have won like 2 awards

Alex webb ending montages never disappoint

bro casually made an epic trailer at the end. Such a good video

The way I see it this game is good for what it is. It’s not game of the year worthy nor better than the first. But it is a safe sequel to a fantastic game. There are tons of RU-vidrs out there like Synthetic man and Griffin Gaming who call this game complete trash for certain decisions and imperfections but I ultimately don’t share their view. The game has problems, a story sometimes being rushed, several beloved suits missing from the roster, some game breaking glitches that as of this comment have mostly been fixed, arguably not enough additions to the gameplay, miles god awful new suit, and so on. Is there some suggestive writing that feels like it panders to some movement or another yes. But that’s not enough to completely bring a game down. It’s good to know I’m not alone as RU-vidrs like moistcritical who I trust to be unbiased and neutral have a similar view. Still I do wish this game didn’t have a lot of its content cut out.

I’m glad there is gonna be a third game that probably focuses more on miles, but this game definitely left me wanting a bit more. I think it needed to be harsher, especially for a story like this.

Masterful critique, brother. Very well said 👏.

bro drop the hardest spierman 2 edit and thought we wouldn't notice

I genuinely enjoyed most of the story, even with the rushed pacing in certain places. I wasn’t expecting anything in particular; I was just hoping to enjoy myself with the story, and I got what I wanted. I really enjoyed Venom in this game. I just thought he was so intimidating and powerful that, despite the symbiote being destroyed at the end, I hope we can see more of him. Like I said, I wasn’t expecting anything in particular with the story, so I thoroughly enjoyed it. Could some things have been better/more fleshed out? Sure. But, for what we got, I’m pretty satisfied. Great video.

It's amazing how Insomniac has made 2 Spiderman games and they're both positively recieved and now thanks to them we're getting more Marvel games. Hopefully the positive reception the game carries it over to future games. Pretty sure the Miles Morales game was developed by naughty dog and not Insomniac. Although feel like personally they should've waited for a future game or dlc expansion for the symbiote takeover to happen but feel like they were gonna do it similar to Mr Negative and Doc Ock one starts the game as the villain the first half then 2nd half the other one becomes the main villain. Don't know where I got Naughty Dog working on Miles Morales must've thought they worked on it while Insomniac worked on Rift Apart guess not or if they did help it was for smaller projects

If they brought old peter paker face, that would've been a game changer and why Miles Morales new suit looks like colgate toothpaste

Great video lad keep up the good work

I think we can all agree that Yuri Lowenthal got robbed for Best Performance. He gave his all in Spider-Man 2. I mean, I knew Baulders Gate 3 was gonna win. It seemed obvious given the large amount of content it has and the fanbase it rapidly grew. Like Elden Ring from last year. They really like their large open world games that takes over 100 hours to finish.

I feel like outside of the new game plus issue this is a 10/10 game

1:56. You unlocked it, you madlad: The Parker Squirter™

love ur edits

Finally, a review for the game that I agree with.

Man finally and unbiased opinion yes I agree with you the game is awesome the only thing is it’s too short no one can actually have real criticism for the game besides the shortness so far it’s the best spider man game so far and it still feels like they care just a little rushed

Hey what this music at the end of the video?

he actually uploaded i used to pray for times like this

The game's story is a mess because Insomniac themselves said that they wanted to do so much more but Sony rushed them. I wouldn't have minded if the game got delayed but since we have it now, I still love it

This game is beautifully written

Lmao, the Duke Nukem joke whith the Symbiote suit is what I felt when I saw it for the first time.

So In the next year's or so I'm expecting a "was everyone wrong about madame web?" Video!

I cannot wait for new game+ im so keen to PLay the story again, personally its easily a 10/10 masterpiece. Insomniac are the GOATS 😍

A video finally talking about Spider-Man 2 in a positive way instead of hating on it because it’s “woke”? What a miracle!

It’s always a good day when I hear Mr Webb talk about his love and nostalgia for the man the myth the legend Spider-Man

Bro, did everyone forget Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions? That game was amazing and playing with each spider-man felt special. Sure it's not open-world but the story and everything was so well put together. I also enjoyed the Amazing SM games, it had some great details where Spider-man would use his own web to heal himself like what actual spiders do. I didn't see what special thing Insomniac did, but after playing the first game on my pc, that game felt so good.

I hated this game. Sidelined Peter at his own game

Only thing that disappointed me in spiderman 2 was the suits and no ng+ at launch

The outro of this vid was the best spider man edit ive seen

i love the copyright free "epic orchestral dark rock" that plays in the montage at the end, ended up laughing more than being impressed

This game was the best thing ever. Only criticisms, Venom was undercooked and New Game + not being from the start. Rest was awesome.

Who tf gave spider-man 2 a 9.7 lmao

That edit at the end 😮‍💨😮‍💨

Wow what an incredible video. Just found your channel as of recently and have been blown away by the content
