Spider-Man 2
About the Game
The PSP received its own adaptation of the superhero sequel Spider-Man 2 . Unlike the console version with its open-world design, the PSP game is strictly linear. Spider-Man must make his way through 19 levels, each presenting him with a series of challenges. He must beat up thugs and robots, save a police car from dropping from a bridge, turn on the sprinkler system in a burning warehouse, carry away civilians from a failed fusion experiment, rescue hostages in a museum and much more.
Story & Setting
The narrative is told through a mixture of pre-rendered and in-game cutscenes, for which film actors Tobey Maguire , Kirsten Dunst , Alfred Molina and JK Simmons reprise their roles.
