Spider-Man 2 throws Peter Parker into a new story with high-school buddy Harry Osborn. Early in the game, Harry returns and forms the Emily-May Foundation — a high-tech non-profit organization. The massive building is also where you’ll be introduced to EMF Experiments, a type of side-quest where Spider-Man will be testing different inventions and discoveries for the betterment of the world. There are 9 EMF Experiments to find and some of them involve tricky puzzles. Here’s a full rundown of all the EMF Experiment locations and how to complete each one.
EMF Experiments are side-activities that unlock early in the game, after visiting Harry Osborn’s Emily-May Foundation. Each EMF Experiment is related to experiments you’ll learn about after visiting the foundation. You’ll ride bikes, pilot bee drones and splice plant genes. Each experiment is like a mini story.
EMF Experiment #1: Central Park – Found on the rooftop on the very northwest edge of Central Park. In this one, you’ll test Energy Bikes by riding them through the city. You’ll need to bike through the park and go through 10 checkpoints. Halfway through, you’ll be on a time limit before the battery explodes! Hold [R2] to boost and launch yourself over the ramps when it unlocks.
EMF Experiment #2: Central Park – Found along the west edge of the park. Using this experiment, you’ll help fly drones to scare away targets. Complete the test by blasting 12 purple targets, then flying into 7 location markers. Very simple!
EMF Experiment #3: China Town – In the north on the rooftop of FEAST. This is one of the plant puzzle experiments. Use the scanner and follow the vines to collect three plants, then solve the puzzle. After solving the puzzle, go to the water tank and pull it [L1+R1] then seal all the water leaks with web. If you can’t find the water, look for a side-quest marker.
EMF Experiment #4: Downtown Brooklyn – Found right next to the bridge leading to Chinatown. For this one, enter the wind tunnels marked by your objective and fly high in the air with Web Wings. When you’re very high, deploy with [Square] to drop the turbines. After dropping five, you’ll need to rescue one from Hunter drones. Defeat the Hunters and throw the turbine to complete the test.
EMF Experiment #5: Little Odessa – Spawns in the southeast corner of Little Odessa after completing the Bee Trial (Experimental #2). Again, you’ll fly a drone to blast predators — shoot about 12 and a bird will appear. Swap to Sonic Mode (press [Triangle]) and chase the bird, blasting it with a sonic shot to shoo it. At the park, it’ll circle endlessly. Shoot it to make it return to its nest in a cage — shoot the wood propping the cage open to complete the quest.
EMF Experiment #6: Hell’s
Miles Morales will be the main Spider-Man going forward in Insomniac's games as Peter Parker is taking a much-deserved rest from the spandex and webs. But of course, gamers are gonna gamer, so there is plenty of outrage over this revelation.
Whether or not Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 will receive post-launch DLC similar to the first game remains to be seen, but creative director Bryan Intihar sure seems to be hinting at not just upcoming content, but possibly upcoming content related to fellow Marvel superhero Daredevil.
features two playable protagonists, Peter Parker and Miles Morales. Throughout the duration of, both Peter and Miles will unlock a plethora of abilities that will add to their already impressive arsenal of crime-fighting skills and gadgets. While these impressive abilities are generally worth the time and effort to unlock from the skill tree, some of Spider-Man's are undoubtedly better than others, and should be obtained as soon as possible.
Throughout , the life of the original Spider-Man, Peter Parker, is put in perilous jeopardy on numerous occasions. The web-shooting, wall-climbing superhero has seemingly never been so vulnerable in any of his previous bouts, including the showdown with the Sinister Six in Insomniac's first title. Despite the plethora of threats in, Peter is a remarkably resilient character, though at one point his toughness and durability are tested to the extreme. Though an iconic figure, he is far from immortal, a fact that has led many to wonder what happens to Spider-Man in — could he really be killed by Kraven or Venom?
Mary Jane Watson plays a significant role in , both from a narrative perspective as Peter's girlfriend, but also as a temporarily playable character, and most interestingly as part of one of the game's more surprising twists. MJ was introduced to the Spider-Man canon in 1965; since then she has gone on to become Peter Parker's main love interest and the principal beneficiary of his affection in the franchise's many movies, comics, and video games.
Spider-patch, Spider-patch, does whatever a Spider-patch can.
Abilities in are different for Miles and Peter, although certain ones are able to accomplish similar things, such as throwing enemies in the air or dashing toward them. Abilities are equipped and mapped to a button, meaning Peter can have four active abilities at any given time. Each button has two or three abilities available to map onto it that cannot be assigned anywhere else, although players can switch them out if they so desire.
Spider-Man 2's director, Bryan Intihar, has acknowledged that Sandman's inclusion in the sequel is a bit of a plothole thanks to a collectible that could be found in the first game.
NOTE: There are some spoilers ahead for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.
Like the first, features a vast array of villains and several exceptional bosses; however, not all of the interactions with bosses are equal in excitement, fun, or difficulty, some of the game's boss battles are far more challenging than others. Though each boss battle in presents a unique set of challenges, a few of these fights will push the player's ability to its very limits.
For all the cool things that Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 has to offer, some concepts didn’t make it. Speaking on IGN’s Beyond, senior creative director Bryan Intihar revealed that the Symbiote possessing Sandman was one such idea.
