00:00Spider-Man is back, and not only is he packing a partner, but new abilities, dozens of new suits,
00:07a larger city to roam around, a colorful cast of enemies out to kill him, and what seems like an
00:13endless supply of quips and puns to get him through all of it. With Miles Morales by his
00:18side, Spider-Man 2 is everything we knew and loved, but bigger. According to Video Games Chronicle,
00:26Spider-Man 2 takes place after the events of Spider-Man Miles Morales, with both Peter and
00:31Miles firmly established as Spider-Man. Miles is still reeling from his battles with his first real
00:38arch-villain, Mr. Negative, whereas Peter's battles are more focused on attempting to move on in life
00:45in a world without Aunt May. IGN reports that Spider-Man 2's combat is very familiar. It doesn't
00:51have that new suit smell, but it still feels incredibly comfy to slip back into. The rhythm
00:57of precision dodges the new perfect parries, so you're not only swerving and striking now,
01:03and acrobatic finishers are hugely satisfying, as is chasing high-hit combos to keep the fight as
01:10stylish as possible. Web-slinging around a bigger New York map, Burrows included, is more fun than ever,
01:18with lots of new ways to get around, with a huge highlight on gliding, with your new suit's
01:24wings through wind tunnels. All in all, Spider-Man 2 might offer more of the same, but it's much,
01:31much more, and as always, very well done.
