Activision Weaves Its Web Into New Spider-Man 2 Video Game

How would it feel to be Spider-Man? What would it be like to fight crime as a superhero in one of the most captivating cities in the world – New York City?

Picture yourself sending your super web powers into the air to disarm one of Spidey’s extraordinary nemeses like Doc Ock, Mysterio, Shocker, or Rhino. With a quick flick of the wrist, you wrap them up rodeo style – all without breaking a sweat.

While you may never get to live out these fantasies in the real world, Activision’s video game allows you to experience the next best thing.

A New Level of Gaming

Based on Columbia Pictures’ motion picture release of ‘Spider-Man 2,’ the Spider-Man 2 video game takes ordinary gaming to a whole new level. This is the first game that puts players in the role of Marvel’s legendary web slinger, Spider-Man, dropping them into the heart of a living, breathing cityscape teeming with common criminals, super-villains, pesky pedestrians, trains, and even helicopters.

Free-Roaming Gameplay

While players can recapture the movie experience by following the gaming plotline, they can also deviate from the story to chase down a stolen purse for a helpless older woman or simply take in the sights of New York City by swinging from building to building.

The only free-roaming game of its kind, Spider-Man 2 offers some of the most realistic depictions of the Big Apple – featuring key landmarks such as Queensboro Bridge, Central Park, and the Statue of Liberty.

Star-Studded Voice Cast

Aficionados of the film will immediately recognize the voices of its blockbuster stars: Kirsten Dunst (Mary Jane), Bruce Campbell (Snooty Usher), Alfred Molina (Doc Ock), and of course, everyone’s favorite photographer turned superhero – Tobey Maguire.

Immersive Experience

Key movie locations, storylines, and high-resolution, lifelike cinematics combined with unique swinging mechanics allow players to soar through the air as Spider-Man. This makes for a gaming experience you can relive over and over again from the comfort – and safety – of your own home.

When you pop in this game, you truly go where no Spider-Man game has gone before, complete with all of the necessary Spidey senses to guide you along.

Availability

Spider-Man 2 is available for the PlayStation 2, Xbox, and Nintendo GameCube for $49.99.
