These are some of the early reviews for the title developed by Insomniac Games:

GamesHub - Rating 100/100

"As a sequel to one of the most impressive games of its era, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 was weighed down by expectations. But Insomniac Games has turned these expectations on their head, spinning a Spider-story that brims with confidence, style, and most importantly — an essential human touch."

GamesRadar+ - Rating 100/100

"Marvel's Spider-Man 2 improves on its predecessor across the board, while saluting the superhero genre over the last 30 years as a whole. With a captivating narrative and unrivaled spectacle, it's the quintessential superhero game, in story and mechanical terms."

VANDAL - Rating 93/100

"Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is, without a doubt, the best game ever made about this iconic superhero. An adventure with capital letters that boasts a fantastic story, characters that you fall in love with, a movement system that knows no rival, a fast-paced pace, hilarious combats, bosses that leave you speechless, incredible set pieces and an impeccable audiovisual section."

Game Rant - Rating 90/100

"If anything, Spider-Man 2 could have benefited from cutting out the Mary Jane sections and trimming a few of the side quests to make it an even leaner, more perfectly-paced game. But even with some flaws, Spider-Man 2 is still a spectacular experience and the best entry in Insomniac's Spider-Man game universe to date."

Washington Post - Rating 88/100

"The problem arises when you may realize what I did: I’ve felt all this before."

Forbes - Rating 85/100

"For fans of the first game, or Spider-Man, or action games in general, Spider-Man 2 is an easy recommendation."

IGN - Rating 80/100

"Marvel's Spider-Man 2 delivers Insomniac's best tale yet, and despite its open world falling short, is a reliably fun superhero power trip."

Eurogamer - Rating 80/100

"At once a little simple and a little over-stuffed, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is still above all a game of immense charm and fluid, free-form style."
