Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 for PlayStation is an action-adventure single player game featuring both Miles Morales and Peter Parker as the eponymous superhero.

Peter Parker has an additional feature – he is playable when he is bonded to Venom, the black tendrilled symbiote. Venom gives Peter Parker extra powers in combat, but also interferes with his personal life, causing disruptions and problems for Peter! Within the game, you can now freely swing through Queens and Brooklyn as well as Manhattan – and these new parts of New York are even more beautifully detailed than before! The main protagonist of the game is Kraven, the Hunter, who plans to create a ‘fun’ game for himself by unleashing a series of supervillains and then hunting them down again, uncaring of the citizenry of the city. Gameplay is quite familiar: increasingly difficult fights against villains, with both Spideys using webs, gadgets and cunning to win: you can sweep enemies off their feet into the air, swing kick them into next week and even fire ligh
