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.

FPSRUSSIA823d 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

Eonjay823d 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_Sakai823d ago

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

outsider1624823d ago

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

darthv72823d 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_cheese823d ago

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

Nacho_Z823d 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.

FPSRUSSIA823d ago

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

-Foxtrot823d 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

dumahim823d ago

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

RedDevils823d ago

Same here laggy as hell. Took awhile to load.

Profchaos823d 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_823d 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. 🤔

Rocketisleague822d ago

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

goldwyncq822d ago

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

S2Killinit822d ago

IGN is a MS mouthpiece.

Spiderman currently sitting on 91 from over 126 reviews.

Sonic1881821d ago

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

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

Ra3030823d 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.

peppeaccardo823d ago

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

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.

darthv7292d 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.

shadowT92d ago

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

drivxr92d ago (Edited 92d ago )

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

XBManiac92d ago

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

darthv7292d ago (Edited 92d ago )

...or the PS portal
