Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro
Editorial Review:
Product Description:
The city is
at risk, and only you can save it from the evil clutches of an
old enemy: the powerful Electro. He has a mysterious new
device that will make his million volts of destruction even
more deadly. But, with Spider-Man on the job, Electro is in
for the shock of his life.

Review:
Spider-Man was a huge PlayStation hit
(it subsequently appeared on both the Dreamcast and PC)
because it finally allowed superhero action games to get out
of their 2-D beat-'em-up ruts and into the 3-D world. And now
the original game's sequel is more than good enough to catch
PlayStation gamers in the web once more.
Enter
Electro's story follows the plans of that nefarious,
electricity-spewing bad guy Electro, who's trying to tap an
energy source that'll make him much more powerful and
dangerous. After a training level that familiarizes you with
the game's controls (and new abilities such as the web-grab,
where Spider-Man can send out a web and pull an object back
toward him), you must web-swing around New York City and stop
Electro, his goons, and various other villains from Spidey's
infamous rogue's gallery. The cast of heavies include the
Shocker, Hammerhead, the Sandman, the Lizard, and a few others
from the first game.
The plot this time out is a
little tighter than the last game's mix of stories, and the
game draws on the villains' well-known personas to make each
encounter interesting. Again, Spider-Man creator Stan Lee
narrates the story in his inimitable style, and the voice
acting is strong throughout. You can also seek out a few
classic Spider-Man covers hidden throughout the game.
Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro is a great sequel;
it adds quite a few new tricks and villains, and succeeds in
terms of story and plot. It does carry over some of the camera
problems from the first game, it depends a bit too much on
puzzlelike gameplay, and the save system is still stingy
enough to be annoying (you can only save between levels), but
webheads out there aren't going to care, and it's nice to see
such strong properties are still being released for the good
old PlayStation One. --Bob Andrews
Pros:
- New boss villains
- New powers, tricks, and goodies
- Same true-to-the-comic gameplay
Cons:
- The camera is still erratic
- The save system can be annoying
