Probably-acclaimed-music-artist-I-discovered-while-writing-this-intro Jerry Breiner erstwhile sang that the champion things travel successful twos. In Spider-Man’s case, that’s lone existent immoderate of the time. But the web-slinger has had truthful galore video games (and bid of games) that he’s racked up an alarming fig of “Spider-Man 2” games, truthful with the latest iteration presently printing wealth for PlayStation, it’s clip to yet bespeak connected and fertile each of them. What’s the champion 2nd Spider-Man game? The reply whitethorn mildly astonishment you.
1
Marvel's Spider-Man 2
Disclosure: we each cognize Miles Morales is the existent Spider-Man 2 but its deficiency of fig would ruin the gag. But since you're speechmaking this, I conscionable privation you to cognize that you're swell and atrocious successful beforehand for making amusive of your favourite Spidey game, maybe
You whitethorn deliberation that being arguably the champion Spider-Man crippled ever made guaranteed Marvel Spider-Man 2’s apical spot. In reality, it’s due to the fact that it lives up to the fig “2” amended than immoderate different rubric connected this database by virtually featuring 2 Spider-Men. That’s truly each it takes, but somehow, lone Insomniac understood the assignment. The game’s different precocious points, similar the large action, unthinkable traversal, and beardown writing, are conscionable other credit.

Spider-Man 2
We each cognize Spider-Man 2 is the champion of the Sam Raimi movie trilogy, truthful it lone makes consciousness that its video crippled adaptation is the champion of the 3 tie-ins. Yes, we each cognize astir however it revolutionized web-swinging, but it gets brownie points for having the astir breathtaking Mysterio brag combat ever and for getting the past semi-decent Kirsten Dunst show successful a video crippled (Spider-Man 3 would not beryllium truthful lucky). Oh, and the pizza transportation jingle. Always retrieve the pizza transportation jingle.

Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro
That clip Electro danced with the gods
We conscionable replayed the entirety of Neversoft’s beloved Spider-Man game, but hardly anyone ever brings up its respectable nonstop sequel, Enter Electro. I’m not definite wherefore that is; it’s the archetypal 3D Spider-Man crippled to get his costume close by adding the web signifier missing from the archetypal crippled (which drove maine nuts arsenic a kid), truthful it’s the much aesthetically pleasing of the two. In each honesty, we astir apt don’t retrieve it due to the fact that the main villain is Electro, who is the explanation of mid connected the Spidey villain tier database – unless Jamie Foxx plays him. Then he’s apical three*.

Spider-Man 2: The Sinister Six
Pixel cleanable Peter Parker
The Sinister Six could beryllium nominated for the grant of “Best Late Game Boy Color Game We Didn’t Appreciate Enough Because the Game Boy Advance Launched, Presented By Shantae.” Arriving successful 2001 (the aforesaid twelvemonth arsenic Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro), it’s amazingly cinematic for a handheld crippled astatine the time. It had digitized Doc Ock laughter and everything. Outside of that, the animation is impressively fluid, and the creation absorption included comic-accurate details specified arsenic Vulture’s defined butt cheeks you tin respect successful the photograph above.

Spider-Man 2 (Game Boy)
Pocket-sized responsibility
This crippled is astir noteworthy for establishing that Spider-Man fires webs from his crotch alternatively of his wrists. I don’t cognize wherefore Marvel hasn’t revisited this conception since then. Other than featuring immoderate of the accustomed suspects similar Hobgoblin, Lizard, and Mysterio, this crippled pits you against… Graviton? You know, that weird feline that controls gravity and was benignant of successful Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. How the heck did helium marque the cut? I privation answers.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2
Garfield can't drawback a break
Developer Beenox archetypal chopped its teeth connected Spidey games by making the underrated Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, and moved connected to the appropriately rated Edge of Time earlier wrapping up its clip with the leader with a brace of mediocre licensed games based connected the Andrew Garfield films. Neither introduction is thing to constitute location astir (which you could besides accidental astir the Marc Webb movies), but this bland sequel has arsenic overmuch psyche arsenic Uncle Ben does aft Peter misses the portion wherever it’s his problem.
