More Spidey, Less Spidey 0
When Spider-Man 2 came out for the original X-Box, I was so impressed by its communication of the kinesis particular to Peter Parker's Manhattan exploits, that I kept swinging long after I had completed all of the assigned objectives.Since then, the most interesting thing about Spider-Man games has been the ability of Treyarch and then Beenox to lose the plot in new and astonishing ways.
