Spider-Man 2

The Spider Society’s Game of the Decade

By: Cade Gregory

 Thwip! Thwip! Thwip! Insomniac’s Spider-Man 2 is 2023’s newest obsession for many students here at JHS. Students such as Talor Sweat (‘24), River Statler (‘26), and Nathaniel Williams (‘25). To these students, this game has been one of the best games ever created.
  “Chef's kiss,” stated Sweat.
   Spider-Man 2 was undoubtedly one of the most anticipated games of 2023 for all Spider-Man fans worldwide.  
  “I played it the second it came out,” stated Williams.
  With the game's amazing characters that we’ve all come to know and love and a spectacular story that almost everyone would agree is probably one of the best stories ever made, it was a hard game not to love.
  “Spider-Man has always been my thing, I’ve loved Spider-Man ever since I was a kid,” stated Sweat
  Not only did the game have an incredible brand-new story with surprising plot twists, exciting character development, and a breathtakingly stunning opening scene featuring a boss battle between the web-slingers and Sandman, but the game developers also showed off some new gadgets for both Spider-Men to use in combat, like the ricochet web and the concussion/sonic burst, which would aid in battles against symbiotic enemies.
   “I loved the boss fights and how cinematic they were,” Statler stated
   Insomniac Games also gave us a map twice the size of the previous two games and all new game mechanics, such as the web wings and robot spider-arms. 
    “Even after I finished the game, I still play it just to swing around. Like I just want to be Spider-Man,” said Williams.
  Along with all the new game mechanics, missions, and stories, Insomniac Games finally introduced one of Spider-Man’s most popular villains, Venom to the universe of the Insomniac Spider-Man game franchise.
    “One of the greatest games to release this year,” Statler said
  Overall, Insomniac’s Spider-Man 2 was a game that was highly looked forward to and a game that Spider-Man fans will surely never forget.
  “It's the game of the century,” Williams
