Like the previous game, Spider-Man 2 is broken up into a series of missions, each one encompassing five to ten minutes of gametime in general. Spider-Man starts tracking some bad guys who are getting away with a briefcase or somesuch, and of course there's a web of intrigue that involves a number of different super-villains and, of course, the head zapper himself-Electro. The storyline is strictly comic-book fare. While Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro is a solid title, and an enjoyable one even for someone who's burnt out on Spidey-stuff, it's still got the same frustrating issues as the original game, and people who couldn't handle the first one because of that should definitely steer clear. It's a shame, then, that Vicarious Visions didn't manage to fix the two core problems with the game. Each time the flaws of the game jumped out at me more and more-the awful camera and the frustrating control scheme being the two main problems. I've reviewed Spider-Man for three separate systems. The voices are what really brings the game to life, though, and you'll find yourself smirking at many of Spidey's comments as you play the game. The sound effects are pretty standard biffs and boffs, but they work well enough for what their intentions are. The music is solid, if not particularly memorable, and the aforementioned voice acting is excellent.
The sound production in the game is just as solid as the original you'll even find that Stan Lee's back for another round in Spider-Man 2.
Unfortunately, the number one problem with the original game is still prevalent with the graphics engine-the camera and its bloody shenanigans will make you screw up time and time again, as usual. The first game looked sharp, though, and Spider-Man 2 looks quite nice as well. There's more cruising along the surfaces of the streets in this game, which is a nice change, but you still have the 'bottoms of buildings disappearing into the haze' like you had in the original. Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro makes use of the same engine as the original Spider-Man game on the PSX, and as such it looks pretty much identical.
