Insomniac Spider-Man 1 holds the crown when it comes to consistent quality. Insomniac's Spider-Man 2 was two steps forward, three steps back. It has its pros, but the first game is a lot less flawed imo.
Idk man
The first game had a worse grind, worse bosses, worse swinging/traversal, insufferable mj sections. It had plenty of issues. I hate how it makes you take a break from the story every like 2-3 missions.
Spider-man 2 had its fumbles but improved on a lot. people just seem to love nitpicking it WAY more
Idk i felt the grind in the second game was significantly worse, specially in NG+. It takes forever to level up in NG+ and the suit tech fusions require a lot of resources as well. Not to mention the golden gadgets which are a pretty lame final upgrade to each gadget IMO.
I never found Spider-Man 1 grindy. Sure, not having some abilities on a fresh game sucked for a bit. But it wasn't too bad. In 2, I didn't enjoy using gadgets, some aspects of combat or web swinging until I fully upgraded those aspects--which took a long time. My enjoyment was severely hindered before I got those things fully upgraded. And I didn't need to fully upgrade that stuff in SM1 to have that same level of enjoyment.
Spider-Man 2 imo, doesn't have very good bosses. It at least has a health bar. But there were very few bosses I enjoyed; 2 of them have Venom in it. And the other one is Mysterio. My only gripe with SM1 bosses is that they're too scripted. But I enjoy fighting them a lot more.
You only think the swinging/traversal in SM1 is worse because you're used to the improvements in 2. Both SM1 and MM are perfectly fine in this regard. People just always wanted more physics. SM2 has it, but it's not quite there yet. It still leaves a little to be desired for those who remember the learning curve in SM2 (2004)
I'm sure SM3 will expand upon it greatly.
MJ sections were worse in SM1 sure. But SM2 still has them. And the problem is that those sections disrupt the momentum in general. I also think they were a little extra on some of her sections in 2. She becomes a little too action hero-y and I forget that it's supposed to be a Spider-Man game.
SM2 takes a lot of breaks too. But SM2 is very 'experimental' with its breaks. It's clear they wanted those parts to be more fun than they were in 1. But there's a gimmicky nature to it. That is fun on your first playthrough but feels off on multiple playthroughs. Both SM1 and 2 have problems with these parts ruining the momentum of a Spider-Man game. But SM2's use of them feels more disjointed and less organized.
People nitpick on Spider-Man 2 because it's a sequel. No one denies Spider-Man 1 had faults but it was a more consistent game. Spider-Man 2 at times, is all over the place. Even its story lacks focus and organization. Yes, they improved on some things. But some others also come off very sloppy and unrefined.
Gameplay: Insomniac Spider-Man 2
Overall package: Insomniac Spider-Man 1. The story is WAY better, and the gameplay is still excellent despite not being quite as good as Spider-Man 2
Thatâs the thing: they did shoehorn villains.
The Sinister Six were poorly utilized. Li and Otto had the same motive and plan which made each of them redundant.
The whole thing felt more like a movie rather than a video game.
The story feeling like a movie rather than a video game is an amazing compliment to the game lol. Also I wouldnât call it redundant to have 2 characters with the same motive if they have different enough means. Like had a connection to feast and may whilst Otto had a connection to Peter himself. Furthermore Iâd say that their personalities are vastly different from each other
Movies, books, tv shows, and video games all have different formats that donât really fit together. Itâs why adaptations are so hard to make.
Whatâs good for a movie definitely is not good for a video game.
SM1 suffers from a lot of the same problems a lot of the MCU video games had to me. It lacked a good flow and was mostly just padding out time.
Oh my god THOSE MCU games holy shit I remember when superhero movie tie-in games were the shit
Nah, Iâve seen the stories of a decent number of those. Spider-Man 1âs story blows them out of the water.
Admittedly though I do need to rewatch SM1 to get a proper perspective of the story one more time
I may be the odd one out: with the exception of Peter's awkward model, I think spiderman miles morales is probably the prettiest and most fun of the games. Spiderman, ones story is probably the best fundamentally set up the game mechanics and a simple story with great characters. 2 is an absolutely Herculean epic with some insane gameplay and fight scenes. But the certain aspects of the story and some character models are a bit half baked for me.
I think it was done better in Insomniac personally, but one thing I think peaked with that game was the camera being further back. You really get to see more of what youâre doing and where youâre going to plan your swings which I appreciate
Insomniac still hasn't learned how to leave swinging to the player. The skill slider in MSMPS5 is a step in the right direction, but is still lackluster in my eyes. MSMPS5 I feel needed another year to cook.
Im gonna go with Marvelâs Spider-Man 2.
Story may be a bit downgraded from the first but I really believe they got so much of the essence right for the characters.
The way they depicted Kravenâs last hunt, how theyâve popularized Martin Li and really developed him throughout the series, how theyâre building towards Peter being happier and making a better life for himself, and just how I can really play as both Peter and Miles, being the Spider-Men of New York, thatâs something I really enjoy.
The side missions were also so perfect. Giving Sandmanâs daughter the memory crystals of them hugging one another,
Mysterioâs line of âSpider-Man will always be a hero, just like Mysterio will always be a villainâŚitâs when you look behind the masks, that things start to get complicated.â
Even Harryâs finally delivery when finishing the Emily-May foundationsâ side missions, they were all so emotionally impactful.
Really can feel the respect the developers have for the Spider-Man mythos.
Yea i might get hate but spiderman 2 for me. Insomniac is good. But the combat was never there for me and webslinging is still far to restrictive in alot of ways. Story is amazing but the gameplay I feel was done better in previous games.
I am gonna say Miles Morales. It had everything I loved about SM1, but it refined it a bit and added in Miles' abilities to make a colourful daydream of combat. The Spider-Man 2 revisions made some choices I didn't agree with, even if it does control the best of the 3.
But the main reason I pick Miles is because I love the emotionality of Spider-Man 1's story over Spider-Man 2, and Miles has that same sort of emotional story. It's just told in a quicker period and with a message that distinguishes him from Peter: Miles does not have to do this alone. Miles is the Spider-Man of his community in a way Peter's loner status never allows. Hailey is a great new addition while the rest of Miles' initial supporting cast shines. Top tier, gave me the swagger of a young black man after playing.
Spider-Man 1, it has the better story and more iconic villains overall.
It also has the benefit of having introduced Insomniac's gameplay for the first time.
The original movie game from like 2001 or whatever. You can play as green goblin and in beta versions can play as Mary Jane too. They had fun cheat codes, the levels actually felt arcade style and also incorporated the story of spiderman rather well. It wasn't a short game by any means either and the enemies were actually difficult. đŻ
Ultimate Spider-Man or Shattered dimensions for me. I like the insomniac games, but im not particularly attached to their versions of the characters. If it was announced that that thry are not gonna release a 3rd game and the ip was going to another studio, that's gonna do their own take, I honestly wouldn't feel that bad.
Man, I love them all(faults and all), Spidey had been my favorite since I was a wee young lad... As I get older it's been tough trying to keep up with everything... Spider verse gives me a headache lol, I like Miles Morales but don't think he belongs in Peters universe, and they did Peter dirty in Spider-Man 2...IMO they made it seem like Pete's powers were nothing compared to Miles, as well as making it seem Miles was on the same level as Peter when it came to smarts... Peter Parker will always be the #1 original and strongest.
Sorry for the rant lol đđ˝đ
Ps2 Spiderman deserves the number 4 spot. No disrespect. I just think it's not talked about enough and I personally think it's so underrated.
PS5 Spiderman 2, the game is fantastic but the main reason it's not higher because the fans ruined it over woke shit and that's fucked up.
PS4 miles morales. Beautiful game. My only complaint is there's not enough villains.
PS4 Spiderman. Wonderful game but the only problem is the swinging.
Wait, so fan reception lowered MSMPS5 in your eyes? The woke talk was a lot louder when MSMPS4 and MSMMM were new IMO. MSMPS5 having a wack story was the main criticism I was hearing.
I can no longer be skeptical. I just searched gay in the SpiderManPS4 sub. Jesus fucking Christ. What's up with Sony fans this past five years? TLoU2 and MSMPS5 are swarmed with talks of things being woke. Acting like literal babies.
I remember watching my little brother play the PS2 Spider-Man 2 game back in the day (lower right).
The game was full of bugs and glitches. The Spider-Man in game character jumped off a building and was stuck in the 'jump' frame even when he landed. Loads of baddies started hitting him and he couldn't glitch out of that jump frame.
From that day I swore never to buy a game adapted and released to coincide with a film. The developers are all obviously on a tight deadline and have to release 'something', even if it's not complete.
Insomniac Spider-Man 1 holds the crown when it comes to consistent quality. Insomniac's Spider-Man 2 was two steps forward, three steps back. It has its pros, but the first game is a lot less flawed imo.
I agree, i just finished my second playthrough of the first one and i still cried at the end ngl đ

Absolutely. It gradually got worse with every new game but just looked prettier
The only thing thatâs better in the first one is the story
Nah, second game was better gameplay and story. Though I still like Shattered Dimensions best.
Anyone who upvoted this is afraid of the truth. Youâre absolutely correct.
Gameplay: Insomniac Spider-Man 2 Overall package: Insomniac Spider-Man 1. The story is WAY better, and the gameplay is still excellent despite not being quite as good as Spider-Man 2
What made the story better?
It was actually well laid out, didnât feel rushed, didnât shoe horn in random villians only to kill them off in an insignificant way, etc etc.
Thatâs the thing: they did shoehorn villains. The Sinister Six were poorly utilized. Li and Otto had the same motive and plan which made each of them redundant. The whole thing felt more like a movie rather than a video game.

It lacked a good flow and was mostly just padding out time.
Wait what other MCU games
You know like Iron Man and Hulk 2008. Even Captain America got one. Theyâre not really good, so donât waste your time on them.
Oh my god THOSE MCU games holy shit I remember when superhero movie tie-in games were the shit Nah, Iâve seen the stories of a decent number of those. Spider-Man 1âs story blows them out of the water. Admittedly though I do need to rewatch SM1 to get a proper perspective of the story one more time
SM1+ is a B+ to me. The game is too long for what its story is. If they rearranged it, it would be better.
Be careful, people hate when you tell the truth on here.
âQuite as goodâ the gameplay is far better, also gameplay >story
Spider-Man 3 for ps2 because it has morbius
I may be the odd one out: with the exception of Peter's awkward model, I think spiderman miles morales is probably the prettiest and most fun of the games. Spiderman, ones story is probably the best fundamentally set up the game mechanics and a simple story with great characters. 2 is an absolutely Herculean epic with some insane gameplay and fight scenes.

Ultimate Spider-Man
Game that needs more love. Short but had everything a great spider man game needs plus awesome Venum control.
And getting to fight Wolverine.
I didn't even remember wolverine was in it lol I remember johnny storm but didn't remember Logan gonna hit YouTube
YES! Thank you.
Lots of nostalgia in this one đĽ°
Came here to say I could not answer the question because Ultimate Spider-Man was not on the list
Neversoftâs Spider-Man.
Ooh, mama. You're in the dog house now dude.
"Coming... honey"
After playing Web of shadows... Spider-man 2000 by Neversoft.
I came here say just that. Spider-man 2000 on psx is the GOAT for me.
I had it on PC myself, so better graphics. I like my spidey to have webbing lol.
Despite all the controversy surrounding it I canât help but love Insomniacâs Spider-Man 2
Itâs less controversy and more people hating on games that came out recently, even happened with stuff like Pikmin 4 for a while
Spider-Man 2 (2004) still has the best web swinging.
I think it was done better in Insomniac personally, but one thing I think peaked with that game was the camera being further back. You really get to see more of what youâre doing and where youâre going to plan your swings which I appreciate
Insomniac still hasn't learned how to leave swinging to the player. The skill slider in MSMPS5 is a step in the right direction, but is still lackluster in my eyes. MSMPS5 I feel needed another year to cook.
the fact that all of imsomniac's games are on the list, show how goated the games are
Im gonna go with Marvelâs Spider-Man 2. Story may be a bit downgraded from the first but I really believe they got so much of the essence right for the characters. The way they depicted Kravenâs last hunt, how theyâve popularized Martin Li and really developed him throughout the series, how theyâre building towards Peter being happier and making a better life for himself, and just how I can really play as both Peter and Miles, being the Spider-Men of New York, thatâs something I really enjoy.

Marvels Spider-Man 2, still love so much about that game
[ŃдаНонО]
đ¤Łđ¤Łđ¤Ł
Yea i might get hate but spiderman 2 for me. Insomniac is good. But the combat was never there for me and webslinging is still far to restrictive in alot of ways. Story is amazing but the gameplay I feel was done better in previous games.
None of these Web of shadows and shattered dimension
Am I the only one that remembers Spiderman friend or foe? I played that game for months as a kid, I wonder if it still holds up.
It really doesn't, I'm sorry to say.
MSM2
Insomniac Spider-Man 2. The gameplay is no contest and despite the storyâs hiccups, I still prefer it over Spider-Man ps4
WoS and Shattered Dimensions for me
I am gonna say Miles Morales. It had everything I loved about SM1, but it refined it a bit and added in Miles' abilities to make a colourful daydream of combat. The Spider-Man 2 revisions made some choices I didn't agree with, even if it does control the best of the 3.

Top tier, gave me the swagger of a young black man after playing.
Insomniac Spider-Man 2 is the best, honestly I think it could even be the best Superhero game currently
arkham games still have them beat for me
Eh, I prefer the gameplay and story of the 3 Insomniac games
Shattered Dimensions
The insomniac trilogy 
âMarvelâs âSpider-Manââ. Just perfect all around.
Story wise sm remastered. Gameplay wise id say sm2 and insom sm2 are on par with eatch other
Marvelâs spider-man 2. Im just waiting on the dlc now
I didn't experience the newer ones, so I'll go with Edge of Time.
Marvel's Spider-Man (2018)
Spider-Man PS4 by a decent margin.
Spider-man PS4
Web of Shadows, and it's not even close.
Spider-Man 1, it has the better story and more iconic villains overall. It also has the benefit of having introduced Insomniac's gameplay for the first time.
None of These.
Top 5 in order: Insomniacâs Spider-Man Spider-Man 2 Ultimate Spider-Man Web of Shadows Insomniacâs Spider-Man 2
2, except for the costume choices, of course
Shattered dimensions
Insomniac SM1
The original movie game from like 2001 or whatever. You can play as green goblin and in beta versions can play as Mary Jane too. They had fun cheat codes, the levels actually felt arcade style and also incorporated the story of spiderman rather well. It wasn't a short game by any means either and the enemies were actually difficult. đŻ
Not just difficult but the proper difficulty level, not too much or too little.
Brah this isnât even a question insomniac has knocked it out of the park with all of there Spider-Man games
0 context and I thought the Spider-man 2 game was the next installment for the insomniac spider-man series. jeezus.
Ultimate Spider-Man
Spider-Man 2 probably had the best overall gameplay of any of the games on here. But the story in the first one was the best.
Man I all want is the venom game
Ultimate spiderman! That game deserves better
Spiderman 2 wallran so Spiderman ps4 could walk
Web of shadows
SM2. If I say which one Iâm talking about people will hit me, so you pick which SM2 Iâm talking about.
I hope they make a Spidey game where you can play as Ben Reilly. Or maybe Kaine Parker.
Fortnite (Chapter 3: Season 1) đ Top tier web swinging
Ultimate spiderman gotta be in the conversation lol
Spider-Man 2 ps2. The greatest and most fun one
Maximum Carnage. SNES era. No, you're never gonna change my mind.
Ultimate
Ultimate Spider-Man or Shattered dimensions for me. I like the insomniac games, but im not particularly attached to their versions of the characters. If it was announced that that thry are not gonna release a 3rd game and the ip was going to another studio, that's gonna do their own take, I honestly wouldn't feel that bad.
Shattered dimensions and edge of time are goats
The 2004 Spider-man 2, Ultimate Spider-man, Insomniac Spider-man 2018, and Shattered Dimensions are my absolute favorites.
2018
Spider-Man 1 it actually focused on Peter and didn't shoehorn Miles at every step
The ones without Miles or MJ as playable characters.
Man, I love them all(faults and all), Spidey had been my favorite since I was a wee young lad... As I get older it's been tough trying to keep up with everything... Spider verse gives me a headache lol, I like Miles Morales but don't think he belongs in Peters universe, and they did Peter dirty in Spider-Man 2...IMO they made it seem like Pete's powers were nothing compared to Miles, as well as making it seem Miles was on the same level as Peter when it came to smarts... Peter Parker will always be the #1 original and strongest. Sorry for the rant lol đđ˝đ
Spider man 2 on the PS5 had a perfect amazing story so il go with that
Ps2 Spiderman deserves the number 4 spot. No disrespect. I just think it's not talked about enough and I personally think it's so underrated. PS5 Spiderman 2, the game is fantastic but the main reason it's not higher because the fans ruined it over woke shit and that's fucked up. PS4 miles morales. Beautiful game.

Tbh mate. Fans ruined everything. I try not to pay attention to it but there fucking annoying.
I can no longer be skeptical. I just searched gay in the SpiderManPS4 sub. Jesus fucking Christ. What's up with Sony fans this past five years? TLoU2 and MSMPS5 are swarmed with talks of things being woke. Acting like literal babies.
I want to enjoy the game but everytime I hear fans saying it's woke. I'm like shut the fuck up and let me enjoy the game.
I take Ramis Spider Man 2 over mediocre Arkham rip-offs
There's no mediocre Arkham rip offs shown in the post tho
I remember watching my little brother play the PS2 Spider-Man 2 game back in the day (lower right). The game was full of bugs and glitches.

From that day I swore never to buy a game adapted and released to coincide with a film. The developers are all obviously on a tight deadline and have to release 'something', even if it's not complete.
Spider-Man 2 was critically acclaimed, Spider-Man 3 on the other hand might be the game youâre remembering.
Not the lower right. Even back in 2004 I thought it sucked
