I’m referring to the Spider-Man 2 game based on the Sam Raimi movie that came out in 2004 on PS2, Gamecube and Xbox, developed by Treyarch who these days spend their time keeping the Call of Duty train a-rolling until the heat death of the fucking universe, apparently.

So, a sequel to the not unentertaining Sony’s Marvel’s Spider-Man is coming out soon – actually, will presumably already be out by the time you watch this – and maybe it’ll be something to celebrate or maybe not, precedent in the world of Spider-Man adaptations has shown that the introduction of Venom to the formula tends to be the point when things go to shit, but for me the real tragedy is that the new game will add yet another to the enormous pile of entities one could refer to as “Spider-Man 2.” Thus making it all the more likely to bury the good Spider-Man 2 in the folds of history.Īnd I’ve brought that game up often enough in casual conversation that it’s high time I did a video going into detail.
