What's the worst Spider-Man game you’ve ever played? Chances are, you said The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Now, what's the worst Spider-Man movie you’ve ever seen? Uh oh, that’s a pattern. Nearly everything tied to The Amazing Spider-Man 2 was a disaster, and while the discussions of the movie's good and bad aspects have been talked about at length online, The video game never got the same attention, at least, not the attention it was looking for. Yea, this game was panned heavily on release, and I want to find out why. I have a soft spot for this game because, for years, this was the only Spider-Man game I could play on my PS4, as I sold my PS3, and my other Spider-Man games, to get said PS4, which does mean I sort of had to like it at the time. But, now I have access to a ton of great Spider-Man games, so I can look at the game with a critical lens.

So, I want to answer; was The Amazing Spider-Man 2 good, if so or if not, then why? Or perhaps, should you buy it? Well I can answer that one for free; no, because you can’t buy it. Activision did not renew the licence for their Spider-Man games, meaning any old Spider-Man game needs to be bought physically, or you gotta sail the high seas. Now, we would never condone piracy here on the That Boy Aqua channel, but I can say that purchasing these games through classified vendors is extremely easy, except for The Amazing Spider-Man 2, and I think this says a lot about the games reputation. Many of these vendors have mission objectives along the lines of wanting to preserve abandoned games so they aren’t lost to time, and yet, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is a tough find. So basically, these websites are saying we want to preserve video games, but not this one, cause this one sucks. Well, does The Amazing Spider-Man 2 suck? I mean, sort of, but it's more complicated than that.

Before we get too ahead of ourselves, I have to mention that while you may seem stuttering or performance issues here I don’t want to hold it against the game, because there's a good chance that I’m not playing the most up-to-date version, as when purchasing the game through aforementioned vendors, you can’t always get an update. I can in good faith assume that performance issues, of which there were plenty, are likely fixed, but no amount of patches, plastic surgery, or even paper bags could fix the monstrosities on display. This is what most astounds me about The Amazing Spider-Man 2; it looks worse than the first game! How, the heck, does that happen? Keep in mind, The Amazing Spider-Man one released on the previous console generation, and while it too had some questionable art decisions, the massive phone for a minimap that takes up what feels like half the screen was a head scratcher, but genuinely everything here looks worse.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is a movie unlike any other and The Amazing Spiderman 2 game is much the same. A sequel to The Amazing Spider-Man movie, not The Amazing Spiderman game, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 in 2024 is regarded as one of the worst Spider-Man games ever. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 game was panned upon release, and considered worse than The Amazing Spider-Man game that came before it. After Marvel's Spider-Man 2, looking at The Amazing Spider-Man 2 years later is a sobering experience in terms of realising how good we have it. The not so Amazing Spider-Man 2 is something I planned to look at with more depth. I intended for this The Amazing Spider-Man 2 critique, part of my ongoing Spider-Man retrospective, to be really positive. The That Boy Aqua Spider-Man videos have generally been positive ones, and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Game was supposed to follow this trend, but alas, TASM 2 the movie and TASM 2 Game have a lot in common in terms of quality. This The Amazing Spider-Man 2 review aims to explore that.
