"Spider-man 2"

Just seen it in action - I am wowed.

One of my local retailers had an Xbox pod running and were showing the PS2 version running on TV screens around the shop.

The Xbox one looks far superior with a clearer screen, reflections in the windows, etc.

Anyway, the pendulem swinging looks really cool - not quite like the movies, but that would be hard to do, but it's a hell of a lot better than the first Spider-man Movie game.

I didn't have the time to keep watching it though, but I am glad I chose it as a GAD prize ages ago - I cannae wait!

If he went to the one I think he did, no.

I'm really hoping to pick this up tomorrow, I can see this game lasting ages and I'm thinking about picking up Mashed for the PS2 as well. Those two games should tide me over for quite a while.

Has anyone seen the TV advert for this yet? It always says, "available on PS2 now", er....did someone just completely forget about X-Box and GC then?

It'll be Sony advertising the game.

I seem to remember Nintendo pulled off the same stunt with Soul Calibur 2.

Mashed is excellent fun, just like Micro Machines used to be! "Raargh, I exploded!"!!

Yea that's the reason I'm considering it. I loved Micro Machines on the Mega-Drive so this should be great. But it's the multi-player mode that I like the look of. I haven't got any good multi-player games on my PS2, so this should change that.

Hrmm, seems like most shops had it on sale anyway today.

Still, got it through the post today and it really is excellent. I've spent way too long this evening just web-swinging about the city because it's so damn fun.

The reason I am getting the game tomorrow is purely for the pick up and play factor where you can just move around the city freely. Looks excellent fun from the videos I have seen despite the fact that the actual story and missions look repetitive and quite tedious to be honest. Hopefully the missions will offer more than what the videos suggest as the rest of the game looks pretty damn fantastic, the massively improved game physics and new swinging physics being the main reason.

That'll be because Spider-Man 2 is a Sony Pictures movie, then.

Looks alright in the videos though a bit simple..
