Revisiting this game AFTER playing Marvel's Spider-Man on PS4... It's freaky how Spider-Man 2 feels like a prototype... I mean, it's completely ahead of its time.

*The blade that pierced his beard was from his controller*

This was my favourite game when I was a kid, I'd spend hours every night swinging around the city!!

HOW DARE YOU NOT MENTION THE PIZZA THEME A MUSIC MASTERPIECE

SO! If YOU were Spider-man, who would you date?

And no mention of Bruce Campbell reading out Black Cat's Bust/Waist/Hip measurements? For shaaaaaame

I had the PC version.. never knew there was a good version of this game.

I remember having no memory card for the game cube so I would beat this game every afternoon, and sometimes I would leave the game cube running while i slept then wake up and swing through the city before beating it...good times, good times. Who remembers taking a thug all the way to the top of the empire state building and just either throwing them off or pile drive them all the way to the ground lol the rag doll physics were crazy. Like if you've done this.

This is still one of my favorite games. Allow me to share a story from one time when I was playing: I'd triggered an NPC mission to stop a robbery, so I went after the guys and pounded them. They took off in their getaway car. As I was chasing them, I hear the cry of a child who'd let go of their dear balloon. Turning back, I went after the balloon, snatched it out of the air, then doubled back and chased down the fleeing car. I then pounded the car until the crooks stopped and beat them up after they exited the vehicle, all with a balloon clutched in my hand. And I still managed to get the balloon back to the child. ... one of my prouder moments, I'm not ashamed to admit.

"no game has been able to emulate the web swinging in spider-man 2" *fast forward to 2005* WOW, ultimate spider-man!! cell shaded graphics, able to play as venom, AAAANNNDDD I can web swing off of buildings, leaving a trail of web as you go along!!!

10:30 "Around the city, you will come across blue markers that trigger racists."

The... blade... that... pierced his body, came from...

so...jirard lost his mind at the end there. that was a thing. XD

Also known as the best licensed game ever.

This review was in 2016 and the comment about the web-swinging at 9:26 HAS been recreateted now in insomniac Spider-Man game in 2018 so it is a dream come true.

I remember renting this game... and spending 90% of my rental time just swinging around the city. lol

Someone should tweet at Megan Fox, "Prom?"

I love how it was nothing but praise the entire review then "Yeah it's meh"

Man...seeing those graphics again for the first time in 15 years. I remember them being "amazing" and now...

16:58 best part of the video, LOL

"the comment.......that was posted for this........came from your video" damnit, butler!

Bruce Cambell as the narrator, that's pretty awesome.

HULK ULTIMATE DESTRUCTION!!! IT NEEDS TO HAPPEN!!

It's so refreshing to see a gaming youtuber that talks about good games most of the time.

Spodermen 2: Electric Boogaloo

Hey man, just to let you know, it's spelled Alfred Molina, not Melina. I'm not fussed or anything but just wanted to let you know in case you wanted to change it.

I know I'm late to the party but... Thank you. Thank you for this. I always wondered what would happen if you got all the tokens. I mean, I'd forgotten about it for well over a decade, but seeing you actually get all of them?? It truly fulfilled me in a way that I didn't know was possible. I don't care if that sounds weird. Fine, fine work.

I loved this game. I remember when it first came out (I was 15) I'd stay up till 5 or 6am playing it pretty much every night for almost an entire summer. But As much as I loved it and love Spiderman I didn't think people actually would try and get all those collectibles. That's nuts, talk about tediousness. But I didn't do that so the game never disappointed me.

Why does no one ever remember Spiderman on PS1? I loved that game as a kid.

Couldnt beat Mysterio back in the day... Terrible boss battle😢

This was my summer game when I was a kid. It was the only game from Blockbuster that we rented more than once. Years later, I found it at a retro game store and I've had it since.

That Lab "Boss Battle" with Doc Ock's Machine at the beginning. Pissed me off *SO MUCH* .

I'm replaying spider-man 2 right now, combat and web-swinging is still so good, I'm honestly shocked I though it was all my nostalgia goggles but nope it definitely feels great, even after TASM 1 & 2.

lmfao, that ending I think this game really did break you, Jirard

I don't think I've ever laughed so hard at/with a Completionist video before, thanks for the Megan Fox bit!

That jab at the amazing spider series is the best line in this video

If I were Spider-man I would totally date Gwen Stacy because, you know, I don't like to be stuck with the same girl for too long and brake ups are hard.

Literally the best superhero video game

"Once all of his arms are tied up, you've got your chance to put the spider sting on him!" That escalated quickly

I cannot tell you all the memories I have of this game. Probably remains my favorite video game Spidey experience. That includes Spider-Man ps4.

"The original Spider-man 2" PS1 spider-man 2 says hi

Loved this game! Have so much nostalgia from watching the review and I'm sure not all of it is purely just that as I'd play the game all over again. And great vid, Jirard! That bit with the butler that went throughout was actually pretty funny; with that I ended up having a chuckle or two. Take care! :D

That meltdown at the end though. Hilarious

The swinging mechanic from this game is the best. And it really is a complete embarrassment that other attempts have failed to even do it the same way.

If I were Spider-Man I would date Black Cat. I mean why wouldn't you.

If I was Spider-Man I'd date Emma Stone

This was my FAVORITE game as a little kid. I still remember those fond memories.

the glider scenes! 😂

i'm pretty sure this game deserves more of a "Plinish It" rating

If I were Spiderman, I would date Kitty Pryde (Shadowcat) from the X-Men.

In my opinion this is one of your guy's funniest videos! I played this game almost to completion around 07 to 08. I like how you described the races being so difficult because for me, at 13 or 14 they were impossible! Even with a basically fully upgraded spidey.

Definitely the most important thing for me in a spider-man game is the web swinging. But, the thing that makes me feel like I am really playing a spider-man game is when you are swinging through the city and you hear a cry for help so you groan and have to turn 180 and go save someone way out or your way. That sounds like a true spider-man experience.

This game! This game was my childhood!

Laughs in Spiderman PS4

This game deserves all the praise it deserves but that Ps1 Spider-Man is still my favorite game and story. Spidey Ps4 did great recreating the swinging!

The glitch at 13:30 reminded me immediately of the "DOCTOR OCTOGONOPUS BLARGHH" meme. Thanks Jirard.

It's Molina...

dat ff9 music on the background at 3:00

The best thing about this first batch of Spiderman games was hands down Bruce Campbell's narration.

🤣 that episode end. I needed a good laugh.

I prefered Ultimate Spiderman...you got to fight Wolverine for fuck's sake

I'm hearing wonderful 101 music. by the end of this month, you better play that game if you're going to bring up the music man. the hype demands it.

When I saw MVC2 in that collection I started singing "Gonna Take you for a ride!"

lmao I had blacked out the incessant cries of MY BALLOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

Jirard you should do Spider-Man 3 both versions (PS3,360 and ps2) and web of shadows for 360,PS3 and wii

Review had me cracking up. Subscribed.

Arkham Asylum came out only 5 years later, really shows how quickly video games evolved.

The Mysterio boss fight was most memorable to me. I remember walking into his boss fight and seeing his MASSIVE hp bar. At that moment I got horrible flashbacks of the OVERPOWERED Mysterio boss fight from the 90s game and I'm like fml. But then I hit him and I could breath again :)

Do Ultimate Spider-Man next!

Ultimate Spider-man and Web of Shadows are the best Spider-man games. With Shatter Dimensions in the shadows.

That ending had me in tears! Lol!

Favourite intro of all the completionist

Ahhh, Grand Theft Spider-Man.

0:28 I've seen enough hentai to know where *this* is going

I like to think of Infamous: Second Son as a spiritual successor to this game. It's got those same wonderful moments of zipping around the city at top speed, tons of combat options, and lots and lots of random thugs to beat up so you can prove to people that you're the hero their city needs.

I remember having fun just swinging from building to building. Beating some thugs when i saw then and sometimes doing story missions.

Hmmm, if I were Spiderman..........Raven from Teen Titans. Why? Cause fuck it I want Raven from Teen Titans! Fuck it! Fuck Mary Jane, fuck Black Cat, fuck Beast Boy, fuck Twilight Sparkle, fuck Power Levels, fuck Super Saiyans AND FUCK YOU CELL! Wait....

So, who else remembers playing this on their PS2?

I have this game on Playstation 2. This game encapsulated so much of my childhood.

There were also toooooooooons of Hint Markers to collect. Your reward? TONS of Bruce Campbell quotes. THAT is incredible on it's own. XD

Review Ultimate Spider-Man

That's going to be a new meme, i know it! The meme that pierced his body, came from this episode.

One of my favorite comic book video games ever.

I love how you used the wonderful 101 soundtrack. I loved that game so much

complete Superman 64! I dare you.

Please play Ori and The Blind Forest

2 year old video I know, just felt like tossing this out there. Definitely agree with the 'play it' rating. I do feel that, quite frankly, the game isn't DESIGNED to be 'completed', and having no reward for it was likely an intentional choice. The game is at it's best (post-story) when you are fucking around, enjoying the swinging and combat, and taking on the random missions. I feel that the sheer amount of tokens exist solely so that, as you do these additional small play sessions, you still have things to discover and find. The races are a bit too brutal, I agree. But as you start to get better and better at the game's mechanics, it also means you are getting better and better at the traversal itself. 99% of moving in this game is just swinging and zips, sure, but sometimes you do pull of those stunts, just traversing. Basically, I can easily see why completing this game 100% would put a bit of a damper on the enjoyment one would get out of it. Thankfully, the lack of a 100% reward means that there is significantly less pressure for your average player to DO that grindy, repetitive and soulcrushing task, and they can freely swing about enjoying their time without worrying about "getting that one reward".

I remember playing this constantly as a kid, staying up all night on the weekends and playing it until my PS2 was hot as the sun. I wanted to be Spidey so much in that game, and tell MJ to fuck off and just go on fun adventures with Black Cat every night. Also finding gang members fighting on top of skyscrapers (for some reason) and just gingerly webbing and tossing them off the roof to their deaths and getting called "heroic" for it. Soooooo good.

when are you completing Xenoblade?

Spiderman 1- 2002 Spiderman 2- 2004 Spiderman 3- 2007 Amazing spiderman 1-2012 Amazing spiderman 2- 2014 Spiderman homecoming- 2017

Jirard, are you a little high? lmao.

One of my favorite games of all time. That final fight with Doc Ock was so hard as a kid, it scared the shit out of me and my friend running around desperately trying to hit those switches knowing he was slowly following behind. And once we actually got all the switches (which was rare) it was a whole other accomplishment to actually beat him one on one immediately after. I end up playing the whole game in one sitting every couple years, it's the bomb. Also the PS2 version of the Spider-Man 3 game plays just like this one but you get the black suit early on. Not the PS3 or 360 version, PS2.

Great game but I prefer Ultimate Spiderman as it had Venom who was playable, A better storyline,the Graphics have aged much better with its cell shaded style, and I think they made the gameplay better as i required less lame padding to continue and Spiderman feels more versatile in terms of Gameplay. Also that final level was much better as that switch bullshit took forever.

*laughs in 2018*

Blade 2....Blade Trini-...Ryan Reynolds, lmaooo subscribed!

You can't hit me with that Wonderful 101 soundtrack, man. I wasn't ready.

Have you tried Ultimate Spider-Man yet

>not completing the best spiderman game (ultimate spiderman)

That end 😂🤣

I always find it funny when I chuck a baddie off a building, into fire, knock em out into water etc Got me questioning his "no kill rule".
