Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Review - IGN

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 delivers Insomniac's best tale yet, and despite its open world falling short, is a reliably fun superhero power trip.

FPSRUSSIA948d ago

Surprised it only got a 8 coming from IGN i thought it would be a 9 like the original Spider man from the PS4

Eonjay948d ago

I think they gave the first one an 8 too.

BTW... is it just me or is N4G really laggy for you guys?

Jin_Sakai948d ago

N4G is a slog lately. I almost despise using it. They really need to address the sites performance asap.

outsider1624948d ago

Not just you. Same here. Sometimes it doesn't open at all.

darthv72948d ago

I've had to clear the cache a couple times to get it to load. I dont know if its all the ads or people clamouring to get in and comment about SM2 but... yeah. It's pretty slow.

Mr_cheese948d ago

Takes ages to load anything on N4G. Been like that for a few weeks!

Nacho_Z948d ago

Yeah been bad for me for a week or two, often times out. On my phone the ever present ad at the top of the page also blocks me from clicking on my profile etc, just to add to the fun.

FPSRUSSIA948d ago

your right i was thinking of the PS5 remaster they gave it a 9

-Foxtrot948d ago

I assumed when the new guys bought the site they'd improve it but it's gotten worse

Even clicking your notifications can take ages to pop up and you have to keep doing it a few times before they show

The more ads on the page the slower it is

dumahim948d ago

Not just slow, but a lot of errors if it takes too long to load.

RedDevils948d ago

Same here laggy as hell. Took awhile to load.

Profchaos948d ago

Yeah it's barely functional for me can take minutes to load the front page and sometimes doesn't load.
However putting the browser in incognito and opening n4g works but then I'm not logged in

They are trying to be controversial to get more views and get people talking about there site.

Reaper22_948d ago

Or it could just be there honest opinion. It's sad that gaming has come to stuff like this. An 8 is a good score. Forza got some 8s from some reviewers and some members here said it took a step back. I wonder if they still think that now that this game is getting them too. 🤔

Rocketisleague947d ago

I'm looking forward to seeing this on PS+, eventually.

goldwyncq947d ago

Only? I wasn't aware 8 is considered bad now.

S2Killinit947d ago

IGN is a MS mouthpiece.

Spiderman currently sitting on 91 from over 126 reviews.

Sonic1881946d ago

That's the same way I felt about Starfield getting a 7 from IGN. I thought it would at least get a 8

CrashMania948d ago

Yep, and based on 120 reviews, seems no selective code distribution which is cool to see, a representative average right out of the gate.

Ra3030948d ago

Its crazy that on the day the embargo was lifted and critics can talk about and release their reviews that so many
a 120 as of now) have them ready to go. While other publishers namely a Trillion Dollar Corporation released a game over a month ago and it as of now under 90 reviews and this Trillion Dollar Corporation selected each of these reviewers that got a review code and for some the code came with favors or $$$ for a positive review.....Crazy times.

peppeaccardo948d ago

preordered the deluxe edition and just finished Mails morales ... cannot wait to kick some more butts !!

Solid line up.

I knew TDU SC eventually come on PS Plus. Glad I cancelled preorder for Astro or instead.
I heard TDU SC was a mess at launch. Did it improve? I'm going to give it a try

Grayson07697d ago

This is unrelated to the actual post, but can anyone tell me what happened to this site? It used to be the best place to get news, but now it seems like barely any big news comes through, there's little discussion, and it seems to be dying overall. I know there was awhile where I couldn't access the site, but that's been taken care of for a long time. What happened?

Nyxus97d ago

There are a lot of technical issues and it doesn't seem there are many people left who approve stories, so they take a long time to get approved, if they get approved at all.

Eonjay97d ago

Money. It was sold to someone who wanted to maximize the ad revenue while investing nothing into the actual site. Money killed it.

lodossrage97d ago (Edited 97d ago )

I'll add to what Nyxus and Eonjay said

Another reason is trolls are allowed to run rampant. So the few times discussions might happen, they get derailed fast.
There's also the fact that they're more strict on what gets approved now compared to what they were back in the day.

1nsomniac97d ago

Site’s been slowly turning to garbage over the past 5 years. It’s currently almost unusable. Full of utter shit adverts covering everything. You cant even access your profile notifications and it’s been like that for what must be over a year now. It really has become an amateur shit show here.

maximusprime_97d ago

True, I tried opening "my submission" and it opened someone else's list of submissions...

Chocoburger97d ago

An endless amount of rude trolls, along with terrible and inconsistent moderation. I once got banned for saying S***, but then there are other people who can drop F-bombs and not get banned. Mods also punish the wrong people often, just stupidity all around. I stopped submitting stories and I rarely comment these days due to the lack of proper moderation.

DEKUX1297d ago

Always thought this was just a Sony pony troll site lol. But it used to be nuts. I used to check this site every day same as siliconera. I do still check here and there but yeah ain’t what it used to be

Eonjay97d ago (Edited 97d ago )

Love the article description!

Also someone had the foresight to put Neva on there... and monter hunter Stories. Solid additions all around.

MrBaskerville97d ago

They had a strong classic library last year, I don't hope they plan to double down on disney releases again this year, like they've done before.

Here's How Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Holds Up on the $1,000 ROG Xbox Ally X

YouTube tech analysis channel ElAnalistaDeBits has made a comparison video, showing off Marvel's Spider-Man 2 running on Steam Deck, ROG Xbox Ally X, and PS5 (performance mode)

A noticeable improvement over the Steam Deck, but those reflections are hilarious. You're definitely paying for better quality with that hefty price tag. I do like that density isn't really affected by quality, though.

darthv72217d ago

For the performance they were going for, increasing the reflections would not have been viable. The deck and rog can certainly be taken further into the quality mode, but obviously performance takes a huge hit..... but it does look good on a little screen.

shadowT218d ago

Yes, it runs somehow in low graphic resolution and with very limited effects. $1000 for this quality?

drivxr217d ago (Edited 217d ago )

Looks impressive for a handheld that lets you play anywhere other than a living room or a desk.

XBManiac217d ago

It works best with Steam OS, so don't despair.

darthv72217d ago (Edited 217d ago )

...or the PS portal
