Video games are supposed to be unrealistic, that's how you get your escape from reality. If you want something realistic, go outside.

Not to mention you can throw bad guys off of buildings and not get charged for murder. :D?Quote:

That's the older games. In the new one you swing from buildings and poles. You can also swing from Helicopters or the occasional UFO.Quote:

But Spider-Man took the cake. Seriously. There were gang members just randomly hanging out on the roofs of buildings. Spidey can also do trillions of amazing things, yet he can't seem to swim at all.
But aside from that, it's pefectly fine. He climbs walls, shoots web out of his hands, senses danger before it happens...realistic, everyday stuff.
We shouldn't get too hung up on these things. Sure, an unrealistic moment can take away from the atmosphere of certain games, but fantasy is what makes gaming fun. If you want realism, go and do the real thing. Unless you play GTA. :D
Oh, yeah, Spider-Man 2 is one of the most fun games I've ever played in a long time. It's just that the quality really takes some of the fun away and makes you want to cry. Or just makes you cry.
I agree that Spider-man 2 is fun, but it does get kinda repetitive when those stupid kids keep losing their baloons. You'd think they would start tieing it to their wrists.
Because when you blow up a building and get 50 tanks chasing you, grab as many floating stars as you can and they will leave you alone.Quote:

The gang members aren't hanging around on the roofs, they're breaking in.
The unrealistic parts like enemies being able to block him so much is more annoying, or the fact that he can land and noone will really pay any attention (to the point that someone will have a full conversation on a phone while you stand next to him, though that was a nice touch).
That said Spidey 2 is one of my favourate games ever.
The old swinging from the sky did take unrealism a little far perhaps.
The only game that didn't have the swinging web from the sky was Spider man 2 on PS2.
