Spider-Man 2 (2004)

I remember playing this on Xbox at Adan's house. We played through the whole thing multiple times I swear. It was a ton of fun unlocking the advanced moves with the crazy combos and then mastering them. I loved stringing up dudes from lamp posts.

And then of course there was the fun of swinging around the city. I don't know any game that had that level of just pure fun and freedom of exploration before.

The amazing thing is looking back at this game as setting the blueprint for the Spider-Man game from 2018. All the same core gameplay mechanics that are so fun (though actually less combos which I enjoyed in this one more) but just brought into the modern area.
