Must have been awkward to beat this game as a full grown adult just to hear Tobey Maguire tell you to go outside and play.

This game came out when beating a game as a kid was a super rewarding experience

I am stunned he didn't address the stealth levels. Those were TRAUMATIZING to me as a kid

Companies should bring back cheat codes for funsies. I miss those sort of cheats that were just goofy. Solid video as always, these Spider-Man videos give me life.

Treyarch (Then): Guess we're the Spider-Man company now! Treyarch (Now): Which Call of Duty line are still making? Black Ops right, no Vanguard, people like that one right? Even the cheat code topic made me sad... Such a bygone era is gaming, when that was commonplace.

As a kid I used to "sell" cheat codes for this game for yugioh cards. *Sigh* what a wild west era of gaming we will never get back

I am so shocked that you use all these cool animations for this series. You have a spiderman themed intro for your spider videos... Like holy shit who does that? Matt you've been inspiring me since 2012, don't fucking stop.

That bomb mission was the biggest example of why I hate time limits in video games.

Bought this at a flea market a few years ago with a crappy plug and play ir Spider-Man game, but I was shocked to learn upon looking info up at the time that they managed to put in an entire second campaign/playthrough around Harry using the goblin suit+glider, along with him having entirely separate control and abilities

The one mostly remembered for the webs that stick to the sky!

The cheats were epic and hilarious. One I distinctly remember is "underthemask" which enables first-person mode. Also the OST is incredible

I remember unlocking the green goblin as a playable character, this was before internet so was shocked, I had to go to school 10 mins after but remember day dreaming about what it could be all day until I got home

I love that you mentioned how good it looks, because i've been seeing it get trashed in some reviews that i watched recently for nostalgic purposes, where reviewers keep praising Spiderman 2 and saying this one looks like shit. And honestly it confused me, because i still remember how the graphics were the first thing i noticed when i popped the game in back then, especially jumping from Enter Electro to this one on the next gen. The details like clothes at beginning, traffic below you while you're in the air, the textures, it was amazing

Wow, those 3D sections in the GBA versions looked amazing!! The sprites of the webs flying in front of the camera?? So cool!

This game had a surprising level of care and effort put into it. It's not the greatest spider man game ever, but it had lots of fun extras. The fact you could replay the entire game as a Green Goblin, with his own unique voice, was a step they didn't need to take. Love it for that.

_"...Or be forced to watch Morbius!"_ You monster!

I remember getting an XBox original years ago, and wanting to find a game to play on it. I ordered this game on Amazon, (since Spider-Man 2 was too pricy then), and I had a real blast. Played it a bunch, and loved it. Dated, yeah sure, but it was of it’s time, and I loved playing it. It’s a fun game! Also, that Goblin gameplay was great, loved how they made it work. Kinda wish more games worked in stuff like that.

The bomb mission was easy. It was the Oscorp stuff that was legitimately difficult and made me want to stop playing altogether. I remember getting an "All Levels Unlock" cheat code to just skip Oscorp and play the rest of the game.

The "unlock everything" cheat being Arachnid was SO clever

Oh gosh thank you so much for clearing up the Kraven stuff! My friend and I played the GameCube version of this game a lot as kids and we’d heard Kraven was in the game but were confused when we couldn’t find him anywhere. Never knew until watching this that he was Xbox exclusive! It’s probably been common knowledge out there for a while but I never knew until now. Now I can finally sleep again, I’ve had many a restless night all these years as I lie awake wondering where my psycho hunter was in my Spider-Man game! … Okay maybe not but it was still interesting to learn! Thanks Spider-Matt! You’ve done the world a service 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

I honestly wish Tobey Maguire channeled more of his performance in costume as Spider-Man in the video games, within his film portrayals. One thing I never really liked about Raimi Peter was that he wasn't as much of a quippy nuisance to his villains and lacked a lot of personality behind the mask in general, but here and in Spider-Man 2, he's basically exactly what I wanted, especially when he talks smack to Shocker

What no talk about the big controversy of this game? Being able to have mj and mj kiss with the cheat code.

As someone who's completed the bomb mission on the hardest difficulty many times, I can confidently say that it's not random at all. It's hard as hell though, that's for sure. On the superhero difficulty it requires nigh perfect timing, as well as knowing well the enemy placements and the best path from one bomb to another. You also have to consistenly web certain robots before they shoot, because their damage is insane and they can obliterate you in a couple of seconds. Really hated this mission while I was still learning the ins and outs and struggling with it, but now it's my personal highlight of the game. On the hardest difficulty the mission is such an adrenaline rush that there is nothing quite like it in any other Spider-Man game, a really unique and intense skillcheck that could only exist in a Spidey game. Really liked the GBA version as well, although the second Kraven boss fight is a bitch.

This game takes me back man. This and PS1 Spider-Man were the ones I played the most. I even remember trying to do Green Goblin runs of this game, he was busted.

This game, the PS1 Spiderman games, and the Spiderman 2 game were some of my favourites as a kid. So nostalgic

Noticed my Hobgoblin video (and mod) at 11:17! Love the channel, Keep up the good work!

It's funny that you release this on this week in particular. I was just reminiscing about this game earlier this week. In particular, how absolutely ballin' some of the movie tie-in game's music tracks are, like the Green Goblin's theme. I have some fond memories of this game and even though the swinging is way out classed by Spider-Man 2, I think the level design and storytelling were pretty good, especially for the time.

The best thing this game did was model itself after the Neversoft PS1 Spider-Man game. Better sequel to that than Enter Electro, for certain. Edit: Follow-up would probably be a more accurate term than sequel, come to think of it.

Honestly the most fun cool part was you could eventually play the whole game as the Green Goblin. Had that been done now we all know that the content would have been $$$$ dlc.

I went back at your old video and was thinking if you were going to do updates. I'm glad you did

Bro, Matt... you have NO IDEA how long I've been looking for Die By The Sword. I remember playing an early 3D knight game in the 90's that my computer barely ran and I've been trying to find it for over 20 years. THANK YOU!!!!!

I've discovered you recently, and as a big spider-fan I have to admit: your intro is AMAZING, Matt!!

Man I really love this game. My ps2 copy is so old that it still has the two girls one bridge oversight. Scorpion's story being cut makes a lot of sense. Even as a kid I thought something was missing. They prop him up only for him to disappear after 1 level leaving no closure. I'm surprised you didn't mention the lab levels. Those were so intense as a kid.

Oh god I played this so much as a kid. this was one of my favorites on the PS2! Also didn't know about Goblin mode! looked like an absolute blast!

It's crazy how much games from your childhood are engrained in your memory. I haven't seen this game in probably 18 years but still remember it so vividly.

This was my first experience, at least that I can remember, with Spiderman. Considering I'm an actual pro wrestler now who takes a ton of inspiration from The Wall Crawler, this game basically put me on a path I never really thought about until I saw this video.

I’m glad you not only talked about this Game but also the GBA version as well. I love the PS1 Spider-Man Games more though since I played those when they came out. But man to go back 20 Years when I was 15 all over again playing this Game just brings back so many memories. Especially playing as Goblin. Never realized the controls were the same as the PS1 Titles, though I knew I had seen them before 🤣

My favourite child hood game. We all are getting older experiencing the trauma that is life , and it’s always good to reminisce about the ol days takes you back to being a kid and it brings a smile to my face every-time 👍🏼

What the heck man! I had to rewatch the intro and barely noticed doc ovine tentacle squeeze… what the heck is this channel! Instant sub btw for intro alone.

That Oscorp level gave me PTSD as a kid. Never have I felt like a failure in life and scared of robots at the same time.

I always watch your "wha happens" but never seen these spiderman videos. Been binging these all day😂 these are awesome 👌

"Looks like the freak wants to play!!" I remember going back into the cage fighting mode again and again in this game. And then the Spidey bowling mode was awesome too with all the cool different costumes you had available for Spidey

A couple of fun facts: 1) All the cheat codes were in the official movie poster where they would normally print the movie credits. 2) Dwight Schultz, the voice actor for the Vulture in this game reprised his role for the 2018 game

I loved this game as a kid. I had the PC version and I played it A LOT.

One of my "favorite" memories of this game was using the cheat code to play as Mary Jane and I skipped levels I didn't like playing. After I beat the Green Goblin, I watched as the Mary Jane I was playing as made out with the NPC Mary Jane. It was the first time I've ever seen something like that and it's still funny to me how Treyarch didn't think of the consequences when they made the cheats

What I remember the most is that giant robot mission. I use to think that was so dang cool I replayed it many times just to see it. The size of it was so neat to me. Plus the “stealth” section in Oz Corp is kind of what got me into stealth in the first place. Overall a solid game but nothing crazy. Loved it though

The Green Goblin was so fun to play as, also you were able to use the cheat to unlock all levels, load up the final cutscene on the hardest difficulty (this unlocks Goblin)

Always a sign of a good Saturday when a new Spider-Matt video drops.

I rented this for a holiday weekend and had a blast. I still fondly remember it, despite the frustrating stealth levels. The only thing that sucked about it is that it was really short to the point I beat it as Spider-Man and the Goblin while still having time to screw around with cheat codes, all within a three day weekend. Probably would've been even better with more development time, a bigger budget and more free reign to do a different story that existed within the Raimi universe. Would've been cool to see what they could come up with, like maybe Kingpin as a major villain or something.

Man seeing that 2snacks opening with the round heads brings me back.

I first played this game in 2004 when I was 4 and I remember never being able to get past the mission when u go inside the building lol. My cousin helped me get past the game but it was a fun experience, I was obsessed with the movies Spider-man 1 and 2 and this was the first game I chose to go with my ps2. Once I got Spider-man 2 I remember being I'm shock about the open world and swinging, I still replay it every year it's probably my favorite game of all time. I just love good superhero games like Hulk Ultimate Destruction, Spider-man 1,2, web of shadows, shattered dimensions, Ultimate Spider-man, batman arkham games, X-men Origins Wolverine and so many more. I keep my 360 and ps2 hooked up to always be able to play these classics

One other thing to note is the cheat where you unlock the Mary Jane skin. It’s only available in the black label version of the game and not the Greatest Hits re-release. My guess is that it was removed because of the ending cutscene where, if you equip that skin, makes it look like Mary Jane was making out with herself.

You could say that in this game, Green Goblin is the Virgil to Spider-Man's Dante.

I remember getting this on PS2 and enjoying it for a while (though not finishing it). That was a fun birthday gift along with seeing the movie! Great video!

Oh the movie tie-in, not sequel to the Ps1 games. Neat, always had fun with this one and that Harry Osborn mode was infinitely superior to the "New Goblin" we eventually got

The intro means everything to me great job!

Ya ain’t slick with that Fesh Pince reference, McMuscles. “Numbers, numbers, numbers,” indeed.

Aye you got 2manysnacks to do the intro that's awesome

Man, I still play this game from time to time, another highlight for me personally was the inclusion of the grooviest man himself as a narrator in these games. Awesome review Matt.

Great video loved the Ratchet and Clank ost in the background

I remember seeing that alt goblin costume and was never able to find any thing backing it up I thought I imagined the whole thing

I'm pretty sure this was the 1st videogame I sunk alot of my childhood into that wasnt my older brothers Super Mario World cart. All the unlockable costumes and cheats ruled. I was so glad that Ultimate Spiderman brought that spirit back with all the costumes and Venom mode, because that lack of extras really dragged the Spiderman 2 tie-in game down.

John de Lancie was attached to this at some point? Having Q and Discord as Norman Osborn would be very interesting.

I completely forgot about Die By The Sword. Thank you for bringing back that part of my childhood

I loved this game as a kid and I never got around to playing the reportedly-better spider man 2 one. def happy to see you do a video on this game as it was a big part of my childhood

I love these so much! Could you maybe review spiderman 2 for PC? I had it on my windows XP when I was very young. I never got past that first rhino fight but I do remember loving it.

"Fuck you Spider-Man!" -The Green Hulk

The intro to this alone was enough for me to subscribe, keep up the content💯

I LOVE THE INTRO!! XD that intro of spider man is like my childhood!!!

I've watched so many of these, and today was the first time I noticed Matt pulls his spider mask over a spidermask in the intro lmao

You forgot to mention 2 things: One, there was a tutorial and a some minigames where the narrator is Bruce Campbell, being his usual self of course. And one of the cheats made you into Mary Jane, which if you beat the game with, has her making out with herself on the bridge. This was reportedly removed in later copies of the game

Technically, this was Spider-Man 3. I mean it's techincally (mechanically?) a successor to Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro. I have a vague memory of I think the actual Spider-Man 3 game having a reference to Enter Electro as well I think.

I remember playing this it was so awesome! The stealth levels were disturbing to me as a young lad but beating the game older is just awkward good memories fighting green Goblin kicked my butt so many times

Got this game on ps2 as a kid and I got it again in my 30’s and it’s still a blast to play. I even have the tips and tricks video on the special features disc for the movie that I like to watch for nostalgia

This game was so much fun back in the day. It was a proper evolution from the previous PS Spider-Man games, which those I thoroughly enjoyed, before Spider-Man 2 completely changed the formula for future Spider-Man games. It holds up really even today and reminds me of a simpler time in gaming.....

Who else vividly remembers playing this game as a kid, Attempting to go further than the game let you, trying to go onto the ground. Lol

Punisher skull on your shirt is a nice touch.

on the topic of cheat codes and some of the people on the team adding glider mechanics to allow goblin gameplay.. people just really had fun back then didn’t they.

I just made my own playthrough and review on my channel and I have to ask about the bomb mission because why did we have such different experiences with certain missions like that? I had no issues with it and basically treated it as a joke in my review whereas things like the stealth sections really gave me trouble. It's kind of funny we put out similar videos so close together on a game that's been out for 20 years (not that I'm accusing, the videos are vastly different in every way). Anyway, loved your video, have a great day

I always replayed the missions using Harry’s Green Goblin. Things became so much easier with him 😂.

The fact you didn’t talk about the missions “Breaking and Entering” and “Chemical Plant” being horrifying is a surprise.

Im surprised you didnt talk about the training mode and bowling mode! Theres much more to this game then meets the eye! My fav Spider-man game hands down, with marvels spider-man (plus mm) and spider-man 2 being 2nd

Sneaking through Oscorp and then having to escape were probably the hardest things I've ever had to do in games.

This game will always hold a special place in my heart, it just has so much going on that works. Sadly what doesnt work is turning around and half the combat. Turning is an animation on its own if you turn too far which has got me killed, and the fights with the foes who can break your combos or just grab you outright are a chore to deal with. Theres no real defense options so you gotta jump and pray

I remember playing Spiderman on PS2 having trouble with a stealth mission going through vents and such and also that fight on the bridge, but thats basically all i remember from this game

That was probably the best intro I've ever seen on KZfaq

I had this game as a kid. First Spider-Man game I ever owned. Never actually beat it on my own though--me and my brother just used the level skip cheat to jump past levels that were too hard for us. But still, I have very fond memories of beating the Green Goblin in the last level as Shocker ("SHOCKER!").

Who else remembers the Kelloggs demo? The demo was just the original spider man ps1 pc port up to the rhino battle with a movie costume reskin. That was pretty cool to get a game with your cereal

Dude.... I've subscribed just from the Intro alone! Awesome!

That game made Spinneret a thing before the comics did. Yes, Mary Jane was a Spider-Person in the comics, but that was after this game...right?

I remember if you had the original release of this game (which I do have) you could type in a code that lets you be Mary Jane only she was clearly taller to match Spider-Man's height and at the end of the game in this mode Mary Jane makes out with herself. I assume Activision realized their mistake because upon the game's Greatest Hits release they altered it to where you couldn't be Mary Jane but just a random reporter lady and I think the cutscene just shows Spider-Man kissing MJ in that version.

Bruh the delivery music from Spider-Man 2 video game surprised me 🤣

I forgot about the bowling game that shit was so much fun. Oh and playing as Goblin was insane.

The one before the Spider-Man game that would change everything.

I played this after playing Spider-Man 2 (both on Xbox) since I was a latecomer to the 6th generation, and while there was a lot I liked about it I found the mechanics and level-based design a lot less satisfying than the second one. It was still really fun, but once I unlocked everything I didn’t revisit it much until I found all the cheat codes.

Please tell me how to download that opening music! That remix was absolutely stunning

Loved this as a kid and loved the cheat codes too

Since they didnt have access to the movie, maybe they were like, “I would THINK Green Gobs would plant bombs in places and Spidey has to defuse em.” So they made that mission with that assumption?

Didn't expect a Fesh Pince reference lmao!

Oh man! The PS2 version of this was the first video game I ever played, but we ended up trading it in for sonic heroes because it was so hard that even my older brothers couldn't get past the second level. Good times.
