I just finished Spiderman 2. I enjoyed it. It's technically ambitious with the city being so huge but detailed, second load screens for fast travel and just generally beautiful. It adds a lot more combat mechanics and balances some broken mechanics. The story was heartfelt and well done for the most part as well with a few non-combat sections that really let me relate to Peter and his relationships with Harry Osborn and MJ. Yurenthal as Peter Parker put in some emotional performances.
But the gameplay overall is extremely iterative. And the last third or so is extremely rushed with whole plot lines being crammed in and resolved in literal minutes.
If you liked the first game and just want more and "better", you will get that with this game. I was definitely satisfied.
