Amazing console-like 3D graphics and incredibly immersive gameplay

The missions are well varied – sometimes you have to jump through things and kill the bad guys, sometimes you have to save people from the burning buildings, and sometimes you need to stop falling cars from crushing people. If you just focus on the main tasks, you can zip through the game pretty quickly. Although you can't freely roam the city, you can freely roam the levels typically, unlocking some neat hidden secrets typically.
Activision has done very well with the first of their two initial releases for PSP. Spider-Man 2 is a great adventure game for PSP that hits the fervor of the original movies very well and has the action that gamers will definitely enjoy.
Overall, Spider-Man 2 for PSP is a fun adventure title that gamers will enjoy. It's a nice, straight forward game that has some good graphics and cut scenes from the movie. It's more recommended for beginning and intermediate gamers rather than for advanced die hard people – but overall makes a great playing experience for everyone.
