Spider-Man’s always been a busy guy.
He’s got classes to attend - or in this slightly older Peter Parker’s case now, teach.
InMarvel’s Spider-Man 2, this stuff can get a little squashed.
There’s a good chance all this noise is actually the point.
Then there’s the return of Mr. Spidey’s action also remains a treat.
There are some hiccups, namely with issues that the series has always had.
It’s also fairly easy to argue that Spider-Man 2’s stealth overall is a little basic.
Similarly old-school is Spider-Man 2’s open world, but here’s the thing: here it makes sense.
In fact here it’s actually a good thing.
It’s a welcome relief from thinking about anything more serious, from anti-heroes and darker-than-dark tones.
And it’s the perfect tone itself for Spider-Man.
Simple, familiar, and occasionally cluttered as it might all be, it’s still brilliant fun.
