A better paced Spider-Man game by Insomniac. This is way more of an expansion than the individual DLCs offered by the first game. Has a good amount of content, never feels bloated and the story, though not as good as the first game, is pretty good. Going through Mile's transformation into a proper hero is a joy.

I would advice against playing it immediately after the first one since the gameplay loop is so similar. Its an amazing gameplay loop but the repetition starts setting in at the end of these adventures. Also, its a short campaign if you mainline it. Not thats a problem for me since I love swinging around so much I try to 100% these games. Though, thats when you realize the weakness of these games, the few amount of mission types. The annoyance of this repetition is kept at bay by the wonderful Arkham style battles and traversal system.

Insomniac just made more of the best Spider-man game ever made and thats a great thing. Hope the sequel brings the variety it needs.
