Gameinformer 9.5/10

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Review - Sticking The Landing - Game Informer

Insomniac meets and exceeds the high expectations established by its earlier Spider-Man games, and delivers one of the strongest superhero games ever made.

Gamespot 8/10

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Review - Web Warriors

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 delivers an incredible story about heroes and villains grappling with loneliness.

Great scores so far

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Wow it already pulled all the scores together directly as the embargo released?

Impressive scores!

Congrats to insomniac games. They seemed to have delivered magic here

 

[Mowcno]

93 on Opencritic after 27 reviews

 

[Freelance Yakuza]

What a time to be alive

 

[Eiknarf]

Yeah I saw that Metacritic had this up before Opencritic. As of my typing, Opencritic hadnt posted their’s yet

(edit: now they have)

 

[Auto_aim1]

Ugh, 8 at IGN

dunno what they mean by open-world falling short

 

[LordCBH]

The only time Insomniac has ever let me down with a mainline title of anything was with Fuse. Been here for all their Spyro, all their mainline R&C’s, and SM and SM MM. this is gonna be yet another treat!

Edit: and Resistance 1-3!

 

[GHG]

Insomniac are machines.

Not the biggest fan of the spiderman games (I heavily lean more towards DC than I do Marvel and the spiderman games are very much quintessential open world games), but these guys just know how to churn out quality that their audience love.

 

[Ulysses 31]

dunno what they mean by open-world falling short

Probably something along the line of not interesting enough to keep doing throughout the entire game.

 

[Bond007]

dunno what they mean by open-world falling short

Seems like they point at some repetitive-ness. Seems odd to blast this one over that now when they kind of all have the same feel in the open world.
In this case, I take that particular criticism with a grain of salt.

You motherfucker...haha

 

[Nankatsu]

Gamespot also an 8.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

91 OC and 92 MC so far. Looking better than I expected!

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Not enough loading screens

 

[Reckheim]

Dang, didn't expect 90+, does this include the ign and gamespot scores?

 

[Luipadre]

Best sony 1st party delivers again

 

[jm89]

Dang, didn't expect 90+, does this include the ign and gamespot scores?

I can see both IGN and gamespot added and still a 91.

 

[winjer]

 

[jroc74]

If this stays above 90....

 

[Ulysses 31]

Almost time for some melts...

You knew about IGN and Gamespot's 8 or something?

 

[Hollowpoint5557]

But can I collect 300 ham sandwiches in Peter's apartment, fast travel to Brooklyn and look forward to having them right where I left them?

 

[Gudji]

You knew about IGN and Gamespot's 8 or something?

Nah there's always melts. If the game was bad people would be upset, if the game is good some will still be upset.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

This could end up being the best reviewed game in Insomniac history. I'm surprised. I guess we're gonna keep getting Marvel games.

 

[TheGodfather07]

It's gonna end below 90 once edge, stevivor and the quartering or whatever its called give it a 6.

 

[Represent.]

Got damn that praise

 

[Elios83]

Congrats to Insomniac

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Easy Allies gave it a 9.

 

[Mowcno]

91 after 63 reviews on metacritic. We lost a point.

 

[DonF]

91 wow

The first one bored me to death...I think I'll skip this one but looks interesting

 

[analog_future]

I'm predicting that Insomniac finally breaks the 90 barrier.

Predicting 91!

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Probably will settle around 88-89 as predicted but that puts it in clear GOTY contention category

 

[skit_data]

Really good scores, still sitting on 90+ after 63 reviews.

 

[SlimySnake]

Gamespot and IGN have been harsh on a lot of the big exclusives recently. Especially compared to the other publications which have been handing out 9s and 10s to everyone and their mothers.

I wonder if its a concerted effort to be more like Eurogamer, Edge than Gameinformer. The game looks like it will be the first 90+ insomniac game in over two decades so it's weird to see both IGN and Gamespot hype machine offer a slightly more measured look.

And I mean that in a good way. 8 is still considered GREAT in Gamespot's book.

 

[L*][*N*K]

That is mid by Sony standards

 

[Lokaum D+]

If its not zelda, mario, from game or tlou its hard to stay above 90+.

Keep strong SM2

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

I guess Sony will be just fine.

Time to pre-load my copy.

Gamespot maybe, but I disagree on IGN given their reviews of Pikmin 4 and TOTK

 

[Pedro Motta]

MUHHAAHHA 91, called it

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Stay above 89 or I swear to god i'll demolish Starfields score

 

[Horseganador]

Insomniac DESERVED a +90 on metacritic.
