These
games are adaptations of the film Spider-Man 2. The PS2, GameCube, and
Xbox versions of the game, developed by Activision's Treyarch studio,
allow the player to freely roam around Manhattan, Roosevelt, Ellis, and
Liberty Islands. The home console versions were also innovative in that
physics-based algorithms simulated Spider-Man's web swinging in three
dimensions, creating a new game mechanic unlike the traditional jumping
or flying of previous Spider-Man games.
