Spider-Man

Spider-Man is mostly a traditional side-scrolling platformer. The goals of the twelve main levels reach from simply reaching the end to rescuing civilians or disarming bombs. Those latter objectives are usually not on the main path and result in a time limit. Of course each level ends with a boss fight against a villain known from the comics. There are power-ups to collect, mostly upgrades to the web abilities, and photos to take: when reaching certain parts of the level, the game gives notice and the player quickly has to press the select button. This unlocks movie stills in a photo gallery. There are also 3D bonus levels in which the camera is fixed behind Spidey's back as he swings through the city. Spider-Man 2 is a 2D side-scrolling platform game based on the Spider-Man 2 film. It expands on the plot of the film, adding characters like Black Cat, Mysterio and the Rhino, while maintaining the core gameplay of the previous 2002 game Spider-Man by the same developer. The game brings back the mechanic of taking pictures in-game by pressing the Select button in certain areas.
