Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro

About Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro

One major difference between the game and its predecessor is the ability to play on ground levels. In the first game's outdoor levels, if Spider-Man swung too low below designated rooftops, he would fall into yellow mist that dominated most of the game's levels and die. Enter: Electro, however, presented levels based in limited city streets. They were confined grids rather than a free-roam environment.

The enemies in Enter: Electro are more realistic than the ones in the previous game, with the lizardmen and alien symbiotes being replaced by criminals, drones, and robots. In this game, Spider-Man has the ability to shoot a Web Ball while in mid-air. Spider-Man can also attach electricity and ice to his webbing. The training mode takes the player to the X-Men's Danger Room, wherein Rogue and Professor X assist Spider-Man with everything that may be useful during the course of gameplay. The hand animation is also changed; every character's hands can react instead of waving fists. The basic punch and kick combo moves are also changed, doing away with the two-handed uppercut/mule kick for the third strike. Spider-Man only has one jump animation in this game, with him having two in the predecessor. The game primarily features only four credited voice actors:

Additionally, Kathryn Fiore (Rino Romano's then-girlfriend) cameos as the voice of a computer. Stan Lee provides the opening narration, as in the previous game.

Shortly after the events of Spider-Man, the Daily Bugle has given Captain America full credit for foiling "Doctor Octopus and Spider-Man's sinister plot" while stating that Spider-Man is "still at large". Spider-Man takes on some criminals while being watched by a visiting Beast.

A series of robberies led by Electro take place throughout New York City. While out on patrol, Spider-Man spots one of the robberies taking place at a building owned by BioTech. Planting a Spider-Tracer on the head thief's motorcycle, Spider-Man follows it to an abandoned warehouse where the thief is passing off a stolen briefcase to a contact. Spider-Man takes out the thugs and interrogates one of them, before being forced to fight the head thug: Shocker.

After defeating Shocker, Spider-Man follows the thug's tip and heads for an airfield, where the contact is going. Along the way, he is forced to disable a bomb, take out a machine-gun nest, and stop a runaway airplane from crashing. As the contact escapes via helicopter, Spider-Man plants another tracer on it and tracks it to a train yard owned by Hammerhead, where he must fight through his mob-employed night staff and Sandman to stop the contact from fleeing aboard a train. Spider-Man eventually confronts the contact, who is revealed as Beetle. Although Beetle manages to escape with the briefcase, he unknowingly leaves behind a clue for Spider-Man: an invitation to the Science and Industry Ball.
