History VideoGame / SpiderMan2EnterElectro

* TheNarrator: As with the previous game, Creator/StanLee narrates the game.

* ImmediateSequel: Spider-Man is seen reading the newspaper about Doctor Octopus' scheme from the previous game being foiled, implying this game takes place only a few days or weeks after the first.

---> '''Spidey:''' Man, you'd think a guy would ''get wise'' to this trick.

* AdaptationalBadass: In most of the comics, Electro is shown as being too incompetent to take the position of BigBad. Here, he's much more competent.

* AGodAmI: [[spoiler: Dr. Connors tells Spidey that if Electro wears the Bio-Nexus Device, he will become a god. Electro reflects this when he wears the device.]]
-->'''Electro''': [[spoiler: Tonight, Electro dances with the gods!]]

* BossArenaIdiocy: Sandman and [[spoiler:Hyper Electro]] both stage their respective boss fights in locations peppered with sources of the only thing each one is vulnerable to ([[KillItWithWater water pumps]] and [[spoiler:[[HoistByHisOwnPetard power generators]]]], respectively). This is lampshaded in the latter thusly:
--> '''Spidey: '''Man, you'd think a guy would ''get wise'' to this trick.

** Arguably, Electro's final boss battle is also a subversion: The arena starts off having a massive lightningrod he can use to recharge his health, meaning Spidey has to destroy it, and the engines used to make him vulnerable have several compartments that likewise have to be destroyed first before they can fulfill that purpose.
* TheCameo: The villains of the first game appear in the ending, and Doc Ock is ''still'' beating his head against the bars.

* SequelDifficultySpike: ''Ohh'' yeah.
** Even the Invincibility effect does not help anymore due to how overpowered it was in the prequel video game. Here, Spider-Man's health bar does not decrease but he can "still get hurt" by mere punches and climbing up the wall during one stage without getting away from Electro's electricity attack will still send Spider-Man falling down from the wall and the player has to start all over again.

* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: Well, sort of, and directed at Spidey. In one early level, you have to put out a fire by using your web yank on a fire hydrant. It's possible to put Spidey directly in the blast zone and watch him get hurdled by the water blast directly into the burning building. [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments It's pretty goddamn funny.]]

* AndYourRewardIsClothes: All the costumes from the original, plus Alex Ross's famous ideas for the costume from the movies, Spider-[[ComicBook/{{X-Men}} Phoenix]], a version of the ''ComicBook/EarthX'' Venom costume, the black and white Negative Zone costume Spider-Man wore, the nanotech suit from ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManUnlimited'', and an insulated costume worn to fight Electro once. Most of them, as in the first game, have some sort of power-up to abilities, such as infinite webbing or invulnerability, but this time around you can mix-and-match costumes and power-ups.

* ContinuityNod: [[spoiler:The ending shows the villains in the cell near the cell with villains from the end of the first game, with Ock ''still'' banging his head on the bars.]]

No relation to the {{similarly named|Works}} ''VideoGame/SpiderMan2'', which is based on the Creator/SamRaimi [[Film/SpiderMan2 movie of the same name]].

--> '''Spidey: '''Man, you'd think a guy would... ''get wise'' to this trick.

--> '''Spidey: '''Man, You'd think a guy would... ''get wise'' to this trick.

--> '''Spidey:'''Man, You'd think a guy would... ''get wise'' to this trick.

--> '''Spidey:''' You'd think a guy would... ''get wise'' to this trick.

* AGodAmI: [[spoiler: Dr. Connors tells Spidey that if Electro wears Bio-Nexus Device, he will become a god. Electro reflects this when he wears the device.]]

* TakeThat: "I don't need [[Franchise/{{Batman}} pointy ears and a cape]] to figure out that this is probably another heist." Hilarously, Spidey's voice actor, Creator/RinoRomano, would voice the caped crusader in ''WesternAnimation/TheBatman''.
* TimeLimitBoss: The Shocker.

Sequel to the PlayStation, {{Nintendo 64}} and [[SegaDreamcast Dreamcast]] ''VideoGame/SpiderMan'' game, released on the PlayStation in 2001.

* ContinuityNod: [[spoiler:The ending shows the villains in the cell near the cell with villains from the end of the first game, with Ock ''still'' banging his head on the bars, the confused Rhino, and the mercenary stuck in the ceiling.]]
* ContinuitySnarl: Minor case. During "previously-on" section from [[VideoGame/SpiderMan the previous game]], ComicBook/BlackCat wears her DominoMask. She didn't actually wear mask in that game.

* AndYourRewardIsClothes: All the costumes from the original, plus Alex Ross's famous ideas for the costume from the movies, Spider-[[ComicBook/{{X-Men}} Phoenix]], a version of the ''EarthX'' Venom costume, the black and white Negative Zone costume Spider-Man wore, the nanotech suit from ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManUnlimited'', and an insulated costume worn to fight Electro once. Most of them, as in the first game, have some sort of power-up to abilities, such as infinite webbing or invulnerability, but this time around you can mix-and-match costumes and power-ups.

* TakeThat: "I don't need [[Franchise/{{Batman}} pointy ears and a cape]] to figure out that this is probably another heist." Oddly, it also doubles as ActorAllusion for Spidey's voice actor, Creator/RinoRomano, who voiced the caped crusader in ''WesternAnimation/TheBatman''.

* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: Sandman largely appears out of nowhere ''twice'', and has little to no speaking part in the entire game.

* DarkerAndEdgier: Compared to the first game. This one opens with Electro killing several scientists on-screen, and the Lizard is completely bestial. Spider-Man keeps his wisecracks, though.

* FunnyBackgroundEvent: The epilogue shows the villains from previous game. Aside from Doc Ock still beating his head against the bars, an unnamed {{Mook}} is still stuck on the ceiling!

* ShoutOut: When Spidey is crawling up the wall in the second-to-last level to catch up with Electro, lightning-caused explosions will burst around him. Among other things, he'll say "EXPLOSIONS! Now in Creator/{{Activision}}!", and reference Neversoft and Vicarious Visions.
