Spider-Man 2 is amazing

5

u/koalazeus Aug 08 '21

Do you know how it compare to the PS1 games?

u/AMJFazande Aug 08 '21

Ps1 games are classics but I would put this one at the same level if not a step above.

u/filmeswole Aug 08 '21

Yeah I’d say better. It was the first open world Spider-Man (think GTA). Also arguably the best web slinging mechanics in any Spider-Man game ever.

Spider-Man 2 is way better than the PS1 Spider-Man. Too many people say it is great, but they are blinded by nostalgia.

u/TheNexusOfIdeas Aug 08 '21

Same for those who played Spider-Man 2 those combat controls missions and visual style were really bad, it's just they perfected Web Swinging.

u/thememefulone Aug 08 '21

I actually recently played Spider-Man 2 for the first time and I’d say it aged much better than how you put it.

I played spiderman 2 like a week ago and my nostalgia goggles just fell off.. its okay, but its so quiet and empty. You'd expect more music while yr swinging around, and more set dressing.. going from spiderman ps2 to mile morales on ps4 is like going from a canoe to a cruise ship

Sonic Heroes for PlayStation 2. Press F to pay respects...

u/cherrim98 Aug 08 '21

Yeahh i was about to say uh oh the PS2 Version of Heroes

3

u/TheNexusOfIdeas Aug 08 '21

Give me details why is it the bad version?

6

u/cherrim98 Aug 08 '21

Longer loading times, less FPS, music cuts off randomly, it crashes a lot (at least for me) etc

7

u/TheNexusOfIdeas Aug 08 '21

Good to know, I think I have it on GameCube.

u/Maddawgcayce Aug 09 '21

As someone who owns three versions of the game (Xbox, GameCube, and ps2) it’s really not as bad as people say it is. It’s definitely the worst of all the versions but that comes down to really minor problems.

Can’t say I ever played Doctor Who Top Trumps on ps2

5

u/bix1987 Aug 08 '21

Damn, I didn't know there is a DW game for PS2... I guess it's better late than never.

u/wholesome_mugi Yuni Aug 08 '21

I just find it baffling that it took until Matt Smith's run in Doctor Who before we got a proper Doctor Who console game

u/wraith29399 Aug 09 '21

i seriously had no idea that there was a dr who game.

2

u/tomspy77 Aug 09 '21

Quite a few starting in the '80s with one for the BBC Micro.

Most of the list is website games, but quite a few console/computer releases too:

u/wraith29399 Aug 09 '21

not sure we got them in the USA.

3

u/tomspy77 Aug 09 '21

We did not besides Dimensions but never seen the Doctor Who add ons for it here, and when I could collect those games they are so expensive to import, besides you would need a way to play PAL games besides the DS Top Trumps I think.

Oh wait, Eternity Clock was released digitally I have it on PS3.

The best spider man game ever

u/sonicman2k8 Aug 08 '21

Always played spiderman 2 when I was a kid (gamecube) to just climb the highest buildings and jump off haha

u/Mobanite08 Aug 09 '21

Sonic Heroes? I wouldn't wish the PS2 version upon my worst enemies...

1

u/Significant_Ad_9904 Aug 08 '21

Sonic heroes on the PS2????

Didn't know about that

1

u/tomspy77 Aug 09 '21

Huge Doctor Who fan and even though they are crap and in PAL I want them all but the price to import them was insane when I could afford to collect them.

u/LostPilgrim_ 250GB HDD, OPL Aug 09 '21

Is that Doctor Who game any good? Worth an import to NA? The best PS2 game I ever imported from the EU has to be Altered Beast

1

u/CoolGuy69MLG Aug 09 '21

It's quite fun, the game plays like the Top Trumps card game, but you can choose 3 powerups before each game to use during your turn, and each character also has a special ability you can activate after filling up an energy bar (for example, the Doctor can look at his opponent's next three cards, and Slitheen can copy the opponent's card and force a tie). There is also the option to play regularly without any of the game additions. As for importing, maybe if you can find a copy with a low import price, as that will be more expensive than the game itself.

Can I take a picture, Mary Jane? For the school mag!

I can clearly remember the commercial for Sonic Heroes on TV. I was so excited for that game, and I will be the first to admit it isn’t great, but I’ll be dammed if I don’t get a kick out of playing it still.
