[edit] SCREENSHOT!

I object to the screen shot by IGN as it is not a screenshot of this game!

[edit] Several versions

The several versions are quite different, but should all probably be covered in this article with emphasis on the console version (as it was the most successful). Confusingly, the one for the PC was apparently designed for children. --Mrwojo 16:45, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)

YEAH! EXACTLY!

You are right, i should have put some work by showing the differences of the versions, they are different. Yes the pc version was for children...so...what?

Spider-Man2 pc version, is the same has the console, but different controls and mad by different people.
Spiderman 2 pc : we was the childrens version..so! Atleast it is still spiderman 2, they they broke down the facts, so children can enjoy this game better!

[edit] Fight Warehouse

At the end of the game, you can unlock a warehouse at the spidey-stores that lets you fight in timed, endurance, and boss rounds (unlocked in that order). The Boss rounds include a boss called Calypso (article needs serious work) so I thought it notable.

What warehouse? i checked every cheats, i didn't see any unlocking warehouse.

Article needs serouis work, yes it does...and what work have you done to it?
I will do some research on that "Warehouse unlock" and you give me some link that says you can
And i will put some efforts to this article

>x<ino 08:34, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

After beating the game, you can go to the shops and unlock the movie theater and the battle arena. The battle arena is in the warehouse that you previously fought Shocker in. Neum 06:54, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

yes i know there was an unlock for unlocking the movies. I didnt know that battle arena was there? link please to where it says you can unlock battle arena:D >x<ino 18:26, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

yeah i remember that, its just a series of waves of enemies from the game that you have fought. It keeps on going until you lose.

[edit] Spiderman 2 video game article

  • Spiderman movie article are quit BIG
  • Spiderman video game are also BIG aswell
  • So i am thinking we should make this Spiderman 2 videogame BIG aswell

What we must do,

    • Make a spiderman 2 video game (console version) article: which we have done now!
    • Make a spiderman 2 VG GBA version
    • Make a Spiderman 2 VG PC version
    • Make a Spiderman 2 VG DS version
    • Make a Spiderman 2 VG PSP version
the DS and PSP can be merged! PSP and DS are rivals, which one is better
or GBA and DS can be merged because they are both for Nintendo, so Nintendo articles can be linked together

All atricle must be linked to this main article!

what do you think?

i will be starting a article on one of em, but the problem is the name >x<ino 08:47, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] CLEAN UP

I did some major clean up's on this article, which was badly edited.

  • Information were packed inside it, like Gamefaqs. for example how to perform glitches..!? what is that
  • Missions, i deleted the Green Missions & Purple Missions, because it is not grammaized, it is using the word "You" instead of talking about the character "Spiderman" and it is just like Gamefaqs.

This article will be "stub" for more informtion, and also more strong trivia, the other ones were weak

And it will need more clean up's

>x<ino 11:32, 9 December 2005 (UTC)


Also, this article mentions the ability to explore all of NYC, which simply isn't true. One can explore Manhatten, Ellis Island, Liberty Island, and Roosevelt Island, not the rest of the city (Queens, etc). User:MUSpud2 19 December 2005

It was so stupid fool that edited it, thinking he knows all >x<ino 21:20, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Spiderman video game articles

well i have decided to make a

  • Spider-Man 2 (handheld version)
    • which will contain information about PSP, GBA & NDS version
  • Spider-Man 2 (console version)
    • It will contain information about the console version, which i was doing for this article
  • Spider-Man 2 (video_game) which is this article
    • It will only contain, information, main information about the game, it's like picking up the case of the game and looking at the back for the information.

It have a link to the new articles i will make for Spiderman 2 games( It's like a man article with disam...link to spidy games) >x<ino 21:28, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Critical reception

Critical reception The game was released to generally positive reviews. The most popular aspect of the game was the web-swinging mechanic. However, parts of the game were highly criticized, such as the dullness of the side missions and the linearity of the story objectives (which many saw to be contrary to the developers' idea of creating a free-form game).

How do we know there is a critic to the game!?

Do you have any link for it

But anyway, it might be:P

[edit] PC:younger audience?

I can't see that this game is particularly aimed towards children. If it was, I think the statement in the article needs expansion to explain how this was so (ie: in what way would the console versions have been more adult oriented?). The titles have been confusing though. I seem to remember that there was a game released for the PS1 or PS2 that looked great, but there was a version of the game released on the PC which was specifically marked on the box as being geared towards children.

I would suggest that, if the game on the PC had a slightly different (more simple) format, then there could have been any number of reasons for that - including technical reasons or a basic re-design for the platform. In other words, if it was in any way more 'simple' in layout or whatever, then stating that the game was aimed at a younger audience could be seen as POV. --Mal 05:19, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rumours

Wikipedia does not allow Original Research, so why are they here? If you can get some sources for them, they can stay, but currently they must be removed. J.J.Sagnella 11:13, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Moreover they're poorly written in addition to being wrong, too (I was the lead programmer on the game). Removing them now. MKV 20:28, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
Lead programmer! We're very privileged to see you here on Wikipedia, Just so you know the game's great nad I've been playing it for months still without 100% completetion. Just one question, how hard is it to complete the game with 100%? Is it possible?
Thanks for the compliments. In regards to completiong, yes, it's hard, but it's doable. MKV 15:06, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
It's also extremely obnoxious that 69.165.66.220 would add them back. Thanks for removing again J.J. MKV 04:54, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
Okay, what was wrong with what I've written? I said they were "rumors" for a reason. I have heard of no one completing this game entirely. If neither of those are true, then what does happen when you reach 100% completion?
You get the Game Master Award and/or realise you've just wasted monthes of your life. No seriously, people have said on forums that they have completed and every person I've talked to who says has completed says nothing happens. J.J.Sagnella 19:56, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
Really? Can you show me these forums? I'd kind of like to see them, because I'm currently at 99.32%, and some proof would be really helpful.
This Line should start you off J.J.Sagnella 22:45, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
Okay, how was I supposed to know that? I looked everywhere for anyone who completed it and found no one. And besides, that thread quoted what I said here. That was made after I wrote that here. Calling what I wrote "poorly written" and saying, "It's also extremely obnoxious that 69.165.66.220 would add them back. Thanks for removing again J.J." was completely uncalled for. Someone else from another site told me about this discussion and what you two said. I didn't even know you deleted it. I thought it was some jerk thinking it'd be funny, so I added it back.
You two could've been nicer about it instead of being completely rude.
From an objective sense it was poorly written, and it was impossible to understand your intention in adding the text back given no discussion or comment thereof. However, it was not my intent to be rude to anything well-meant and I apologize if that was your impression. MKV 01:41, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
And We have both been as proffessional nad polite as we can in this discussion. J.J.Sagnella 07:33, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
Okay...I didn't know it was you guys deleting it. It was obviously a misunderstanding of my intentions and your intentions. I just thought that saying "poorly written," and me being, "exremely annoying," for adding it back was rude on your part. I didn't add it back to be annoying, I added it because I thought someone trying to be mean deleted it. There were people who kept adding things to it that I didn't write. The only parts I wrote were the "Governor's Island" and the "Mysterious Triangle" rumors. Any other rumors written in the section were written by someone else.
There's no reason to take it out on yourself, you did what you though what was right and had good intentions and Wikipedia commends that. J.J.Sagnella 20:31, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
Oh, okay. Thank you for clearing that up for me. And yes, I was trying to help and had good intentions, I just didn't realize that things that aren't facts were not permitted on Wikipedia. Thanks again. =]

[edit] The distillers sprays

In the garment district, in the outside walls of the warehouse where you fight the robot suits and other goon with black cat, are sprays that say "The distillers" and "Coral Fang". Obviously a reference to the band, but has anyone else noticed this, and is there a story behind it? I'm not sure if they appear only in the night or something. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Puffe (talk • contribs) 11:18, 14 April 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Clarification?

In the main entry, it says:

Places in Manhattan, though smaller, are roughly accurate. The old White House is seen in the right spot. The United Nations are seen, the Stock Building, several hotels, and the two parks: Battery Park and Inwood Hill Park are shown and mentioned in the game.

What "old White House" and what hotels? I suppose it doesn't have to be in the article itself, but I'm sure there would be enough people who are curious about it to at least warrant a small list here on the discussion page.

[edit] Promotion

I know that there was a promotion on Cheeze-It boxes that stated if you turned in x-amount of barcode things, that you would get a PC Demo, which I have. (I also have the real game.) Would this belong anywhere in the artical? (66.190.139.140 (talk) 16:59, 4 March 2008 (UTC))
