After one of the most release-heavy months of the year (or possibly of any year), Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 came out on the top of the sales charts in the U.S. according to industry-tracking firm Circana. Not only did Insomniac’s new title top the month’s best-seller chart (and was one of nine new releases to make it onto the list), it also made it to fourth place in the year-to-date bestseller chart. Video game hardware sales plummeted year-over-year, though, and video game sales overall dipped by 5%.
Spider-Man 2 Removing One Of The First Game’s Best Suits Makes No Sense

features an impressive lineup of suits for Peter Parker and Miles Morales, but one great option from the first game is bafflingly absent. Switching up styles is a great way to shake up the feeling of web-slinging, and a variety of styles from different sources across history make it easy to do so. The very best suits bring iconic looks to life in game with accuracy and panache, occasionally even utilizing different styles for lighting or animation to truly carry across the nature of their inspiration.
One major source of suit designs has been the variety of feature films with unique costumes. From the Webbed Suit of Sam Raimi's trilogy to the Stark Suit from the MCU, each major big screen incarnation has received some love. Although the hit animated movie didn't release until several months after the first game, DLC ultimately added a tie-in suit that recreated the design worn by veteran Spider-Man Peter B. Parker in the film.
The Suit did a beautiful job of bringing Peter B. Parker's look to life in, but the Peter suits in seem to have left the design in the past. Instead, a suit from carries over under the same name, which unsurprisingly recreates the black-and-red design of Miles' movie getup instead. Although this is certainly a welcome inclusion, it's frustrating that both couldn't have made it back in, as matching up the characters' movie designs would have been a perfect payoff after previously seeing the suits separately.

Another fun feature that carries over from is a slowed frame rate for character animation to accompany the suits, matching the 12 FPS animation that defines much of Miles's movement in the first film. automatically applies this on the relevant suits and adds the option for Peter to use it as well, but it's only relevant for a Spider-Man Noir suit he has from. It's a shame that he has the Peter B. Parker suit in one game and the stylized frame rate in another, as seeing these two elements collide could be a lot more memorable.

has the biggest lineup of suits among any of the games, so there's no shortage of great options for Peter and Miles. All the same, the size of the roster only makes the exclusion of the Peter B. Parker suit more frustrating, as it seems like an easy choice in the curation of a definitive selection. The suits that are available in are perfect for fans of the excellent film, but the removal of one of the best ones is an ultimately baffling decision in a game that does so many things right.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Fixes The Worst Part About Playing As Mary Jane
Playing as Mary Jane Watson made for some of the most disappointing segments of the original, but the sequel makes some big changes to address the common complaints. Following more than one perspective in a video game can often be valuable and interesting, even if its taking time away from something as fundamentally enjoyable as playing as Spider-Man himself. The idea of stepping into Mary Jane's shoes was a good one on paper, but the game unfortunately didn't support it well enough from a gameplay perspective for it to ultimately feel worthwhile.
