Spider - Man is about to scale new heights. The highly anticipated sequel game to Columbia Pictures mega hit film Spider - Man is about to get even bigger as you take the role of Spider - Man through expansive locations from the movie. Patrol the streets and skies of a living, breathing, massively modeled Manhattan, scaling buildings, slinging webs, fighting crime and confronting numerous villains, including Dr. Octopus (Doc Ock). Prepare to go wherever a spider can as the game transports you off the silver screen into a larger - than - life adventure all your own. For a movie - like experience, battle the nefarious Doc Ock and his henchmen in locations taken straight from the film. In addition to the Marvel characters featured in the upcoming film sequel, additional diabolical villains from the expansive Marvel comic character roster make exclusive game appearances, including Mysterio and Lizard. Go wherever a spider can - Immerse yourself in the city of Manhattan, which is constructed as a large streaming map populated by cars, pedestrians and criminals. Jump from street level to rooftops as you patrol the city. New web - swinging abilities - Realistic physics impact your direction as you swing from building corners, lampposts - even helicopters. Harness your super strength for powerful jumps and lightning - fast web crawling. Face the responsibilities of a Super Hero - Take time out from your main missions to foil random crimes in the streets. The more crimes you prevent, the more your hero rating increases, giving you access to advanced attacks and maneuvers.

Comment

Two years have passed since Peter Parker first hit the streets of New York City as the conflicted crime-fighter Spider-Man. Now he finds himself battling his most diabolical villain yet, the mechanized, multi-tentacled Doc Ock. The nefarious Doc Ock was once Dr. Otto Octavius, a brilliant nuclear physicist. But a freak accident transformed him from a timid researcher to a criminally insane megalomaniac who blames Spider-Man for his horrible transformation. Now the scientist Peter once idolized for his remarkable intellect has marked our web-slinger for death.

Experience total freedom as you soar through the concrete canyons of a living, breathing Manhattan, complete with familiar landmarks and bustling, traffic-clogged streets. True non-linear gameplay means you can web-swing wherever you like, whenever you like, exploring the vast metropolis and reliving scenes from the Spider-Man 2 movie. Combat pety thugs and aid NYC citizens in challenging side quests, or pursue the lunatic Doc Ock and other classic Spider-Man rivals. The decision is yours.

Take Manhattan for a spin in Spider-Man 2
