Extremely polished with a pretty good story for a superhero like game. The combat and gameplay is some of the best gaming in in my opinion and that carries the game and there are new abilities and combat mechanics that are introduced throughout. Though this game struggles to stand alone because of the lack of changes from the first title. A lot of the core that makes the first game is still here and imo if there was a better story it could have excused the lack of that. Personally I don't find Venom a convincing villain, especially compared to Kraven, and I think that's where this game fails the most. That and I wish they had focused a little more on the personal journeys of Miles and Peter. Overall is definitely a worthy follow up to the original.
