You’ve Been Playing Spider-Man 2 On Easy Mode & Didn’t Even Notice

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 features several distinct difficulty modes, but it’s possible to accidentally play the game on training wheels without even selecting the overall easy mode. Like the first Marvel’s Spider-Man, a huge focus of the game is enabling the sensation of web-slinging like the pros, and the game nudges this along in a number of ways, both obvious and subtle. Although it can be nice to have a helping hand, one particular feature takes too much control away for the sake of streamlining, making for an ultimately less engaging experience overall.
