History VideoGame / SpiderMan2

* AntiFrustrationFeatures: During the web-slinging segment where you have to use Myterio's floating rod devices to get to Liberty Island, if you fall in the water while midway to Liberty Island, the game will spawn you on the island, saving you the hassle to web-sling from the beginning.

* EarlyBirdCameo: Look closely during the opening cutscene in a new game, and you can spot Black Cat standing on top of the Chrysler building long before you actually meet her.

The PC and UsefulNotes/PlayStationPortable versions were {{Reformulated Game}}s, featuring different gameplay and much different stories than their console counterparts, with the PSP version basically being a port of the first movie game, down to even featuring some of the same bosses. They're not as fondly remembered as them either.

* TimedMission: Almost every mission involves some sort of time limit, though sometimes it's simply getting to a certain place.

* AdaptationalNationality: From Mr. Aziz's accent in the movie he's clearly Indian, or perhaps Pakistani. His accent in the game sounds more Middle Eastern.

** Ship sinking rescue missions. Even if the ship had no life preservers or anything, it's never more than a few meters from the shore, yet all the passengers are apparently doomed without your help.

** To successfully complete a pizza mission, you must deliver all pizzas on time in good condition and return to the pizzeria within the time limit. Because all these conditions must be met, there are actually many, many unique ways of failing a mission (for example, deliver the first pizza on time in good condition, the second on time but ruined, the third ruined and late, and the fourth one not at all). Mr. Aziz's dialogue on your return is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neI5o4Qln0E usually very specific to the situation]].

* BuffySpeak: Spider-Man often engages in this.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: In the movie, Mr. Aziz fires Peter after failing to make a delivery on time. In the game, he berates you if you fail pizza delivery missions, but he will never actually fire you.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: In the movie, Mr. Aziz fires Peter after failing a delivery on time. In the game, he doesn't fire him if you fail to deliver the pizzas. The player can still deliver pizzas after a certain amount of time if they failed their previous deliveries.

* AdaptationExpansion: While the game loosely follows the story of the movie, Spider-Man also encounters the Rhino, Mysterio, and Shocker.

* AdaptationInducedPlothole: A minor one covered by RuleOfFun. In this game, Peter makes his pizza deliveries while still in costume as Spider-Man, which is sure to blow his secret identity (if word goes around that Spider-Man has been making deliveries for that pizzeria, Mr Aziz will quickly catch on).

* AdaptationInducedPlothole: Here, Peter Parker makes his pizza deliveries while still wearing his Spider-Man costume, yet nobody learns his identity, even though it would be a simple matter of calling the business to inform Mr. Aziz that Spider-Man delivered the pizza, allowing Mr. Aziz to deduce that Peter Parker is Spider-Man since he's the one he sent to deliver the pizzas to those addresses.

** Downplayed with Spidey, who can swim but says it "doesn't suit [him]": falling in water just sends him back close to where he jumped in, unlike previous Spider-Man games. It's played straighter in the final mission, where hitting water at any point means instant death.

** A fairly obscure one: When Spidey barges into gang hideouts, he sometimes says, "Hi. I'm going door to door selling ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grit_(newspaper) Grit]].'' It still sort of works as a PreAssKickingOneLiner, but knowing that it was a thing makes it even funnier.

* SuperDrowningSkills: Spider-Man cannot swim. Fortunately, falling in water just sends him back close to where he jumped in, unlike previous Spider-Man games. It's played straighter in the final mission, where hitting water at any point is an instant death for Spidey.

* SmallNameBigEgo: Quentin Beck, a talented special effects guy, decides to call Spider-Man a fraud and challenges him to a "showdown". He spends pretty much all of it bragging about himself and how smart he is (a poster in the arena even advertises his memoirs, titled, "The Amazing Me"). Funnily enough, Spider-Man will note the supposed audience isn't even real. And then he humiliates Beck anyhow. This trope is further elaborated upon during a news conference hosted by Beck, who advertises his impressive professions on a billboard, but when the camera cuts to the actual stage, hardly anyone's present.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: You can execute multiple summersaults as Spider-Man while delivering pizzas... which results in the pizza being ruined in the process. Falling into water also causes the pizza bag to get pulled off Spidey by the Hudson's current.

** You can also have Spidey himself climb to the top of the tallest skyscraper and throw himself off until he smacks against the pavement, since dying means very little.

-->'''Peter:''' So, skin-tight leather. Doesn't that chafe?\\

* WillfullyWeak: One of the hint markers explains Spider-Man is strong enough to lift things twice his size, and punches like a Mack truck. It's then explained he pulls his punches because otherwise, he'd shatter someone's skull.
