Title: Spider-Man 2
Post by: Mario on October 08, 2004, 05:33:36 PM: Well I didn't even give this game a second glance after looking at the screenshots, but someone showed me the video at GameSpot and i'm impressed! It looks surprisingly great, maybe this is what we can expect from other 2D type games like Viewtiful Joe? Spider-Man 2 looks excellent, i'm impressed with how smooth it is and it actually looks damn fun. Wow, I might even end up buying this game. Watch the video if you have doubts!

This is Reggie's favourite DS game.

Post by: SatansNemesis on October 12, 2004, 11:55:49 PM: Reminds me of those really cool old beat-em-up games that were for my friends genesis back in the day. In fact I remember one being a spider-man game that was cool and fairly fast paced. I wonder if those games have inspired them any in this one.

Post by: Lost101 on October 13, 2004, 07:08:05 AM: Woah, that actually looks really neat. I like how the DS is pretty much FORCING developers to think of innovative stuff like this. For some reason seeing that video made me sorta have a new confidence in the DS, I was afraid half the games 3rd party developers made would use the second screen as a simple map or something more inneccesant (like inventory and such).

Post by: Gamefreak on October 13, 2004, 06:40:33 PM: BTW, notice how this Spider Man game has 3D on both screens....

Hmm, I seem to have lingered too long....
Title: RE: Spider-Man 2
Post by: Jdub03 on October 14, 2004, 05:20:18 AM: When talking about 3d capabilities of both screens, is there a difference in in game 3d action(actual gameplay) as apposed to 3d cutscenes.

(I do agree with you gamefreak I just need some clarification)

Post by: ActorJ on October 14, 2004, 11:44:01 AM: it does have a neat look to it, gives me great hope for the DS Castlevania, but those games doesn't interest me at all.

Post by: Ness_the_Mess on October 16, 2004, 03:10:33 PM: I also am looking forward to this game; the side-scroller beat-em-ups will really get a new level of excellence with this. A nice old underused genre.
Title: RE: Spider-Man 2
Post by: Mario on November 03, 2004, 08:07:05 PM: Excellent, spread the word my fellow Spider-Man 2 DS fans, this game is a lot better than people who haven't seen it in motion think!

Post by: WuTangTurtle on November 03, 2004, 08:35:25 PM: i was bored and decided what the hey and watched the video (before this thread) and was quickly shocked at this game. I mean before i had 99.9% no interest in this game at all. That demonstration video was awesome especially when the guy flys off the building, lol. I reserved the game a while ago too.

DS = $149.99, Super Mario 64 x4 = $30, Spiderman2 DS = $30, Ridge Racer DS = $30, Madden DS = $30, running from debt collectors = new gaming genre!

P.S. I'm really liking Vicarious Visions work.......keep it up guys!

Post by: D-Mac Double on November 03, 2004, 08:49:14 PM: When I first heard about this game, I expected it to be a lowly port of the GBA version, just using the second screen as some kind of radar, so I really applaud Vicarious Visions for the direction they've gone in for Spiderman DS.

The 2D/3D style it uses is very reminiscent of my beloved Viewtiful Joe, and thankfully, the DS's touch screen capabilities have been put to good use as well.

Though I'm not completely sold on this game yet, it looks like it'll be a very solid launch title.

*goes off to watch more footage off it before he preorders his DS stuff*

Post by: Mario on November 17, 2004, 06:09:44 PM: Spider-Man 2 DS is OUT NOW.*

It seems to be getting very positive reviews, it has an average of about 90% at gamerankings.

Here's a great review for anyone having doubts about this game, it sounds awesome.

*In the US (grrrr)

Post by: Mario on November 22, 2004, 02:49:45 PM: Does anyone have it...? Impressions please!
Title: RE: Spider-Man 2
Post by: Bloodworth on November 22, 2004, 04:57:46 PM: I have it, but I have only played the first stage or so. (Most of my time has gone toward mastering Metroid training, Feel the Magic, and Asphalt.) It's a cool enough platformer, nothing revolutionary, but it controls well and capitalizes on Spider Man's abilities in ways that are pretty fun.

Post by: kennyb27 on November 22, 2004, 05:19:34 PM: I ran out of money after buying SM64 with the DS. I'll be getting it for Christmas...Too long of a wait!!
Title: RE:Spider-Man 2
Post by: WuTangTurtle on November 22, 2004, 07:50:06 PM: The levels are done pretty well, so far ive seen anyways, web zipping if fun as heck. Very fun can't wait to put some more time playing it but i have homework due tommorow.
Title: RE: Spider-Man 2
Post by: thepoga on November 22, 2004, 08:49:32 PM: the levels later on get too maze-like. the couldve used a map kinda.
Title: RE: Spider-Man 2
Post by: seen33 on November 23, 2004, 05:25:30 PM: i guess im the only one who wasent impressed. I played the spiderman 2 on gamecube and thought it was good but much too short. this seems like it will be even shorter

I have no plans to buy this game.. I bought mario 64 ds and like it since I loved the n64 version.
