Review: 'Marvel's Spider-Man 2' masterfully weaves a complex but satisfying sequel

To help the two travel across neighborhoods and rivers quickly, the developers gave Miles and Peter Web Wings that let them glide through the air.

It's remarkable to watch a spider build a web. Time-lapse videos show an arachnid creating a structure that doesn't resemble the unique netting at first, but as it sets anchor points and creates bridge lines, a familiar shape begins to form. By the end of the footage, you see an amazing feat of engineering.

In a similar way, that's how "Marvel's Spider-Man 2" develops. It floods players with a firehose of Spidey content in the beginning. Peter Parker and Miles Morales team up in an epic battle against an enraged and enormous Sandman. It tosses in the villain Kraven for good measure as he turns New York City into his hunting ground.
