Description
Life is tough in the big city, but Spider-Man is here to make it a little easier for law-abiding citizens. It seems that the nefarious Electro is up to all sorts of evil stuff, and the famous Spider-Man has been saddled with the task of stopping him. As is the case in the comic book, Electro has wild, electric powers that allow him to wreak massive havoc. Now, it seems that he’s discovered a device that will amplify these abilities—which could mean the end of civilization, as we know it! Play as Spidey, as you sling webs all over the place, solving intricate puzzles and taking down the bad guys. Based on the classic Marvel Comics series, this game’s narration is penned by veteran SPIDER-MAN writer, Stan Lee. Enter Electro is actually the sequel to a successful 2000 home platform title, and boasts similar (but improved) gameplay to its predecessor. The graphics and camera work, it should be noted, are absolutely incredible in this single-player adventure.
Featues:
- Classic characters
- A deadly villain
- Story by Stan Lee
- Awesome graphics
- Single-player action

Review
Spider-Man was a huge PlayStation hit (it subsequently appeared on both the Dreamcast and PC) because it finally allowed superhero action games to get out of their 2-D beat-'em-up ruts and into the 3-D world. And now the original game's sequel is more than good enough to catch PlayStation gamers in the web once more.
Enter Electro's story follows the plans of that nefarious, electricity-spewing bad guy Electro, who's trying to tap an energy source that'll make him much more powerful and dangerous. After a training level that familiarizes you with the game's controls (and new abilities such as the web-grab, where Spider-Man can send out a web and pull an object back toward him), you must web-swing around New York City and stop Electro, his goons, and various other villains from Spidey's infamous rogue's gallery. The cast of heavies include the Shocker, Hammerhead, the Sandman, the Lizard, and a few others from the first game.
The plot this time out is a little tighter than the last game's mix of stories, and the game draws on the villains' well-known personas to make each encounter interesting. Again, Spider-Man creator Stan Lee narrates the story in his inimitable style, and the voice acting is strong throughout. You can also seek out a few classic Spider-Man covers hidden throughout the game.
Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro is a great sequel; it adds quite a few new tricks and villains, and succeeds in terms of story and plot. It does carry over some of the camera problems from the first game, it depends a bit too much on puzzlelike gameplay, and the save system is still stingy enough to be annoying (you can only save between levels), but webheads out there aren't going to care, and it's nice to see such strong properties are still being released for the good old PlayStation One. --Bob Andrews
Pros:
New boss villains
New powers, tricks, and goodies
Same true-to-the-comic gameplay
Cons:
The camera is still erratic
The save system can be annoying

Game Preview
While the sequel to the best comic-book game ever looks a bit too similar to the original, Peter Parker does get to use his brain as much as his brawn to survive in this version. Most of the fighting, jumping, and webslinging look as though they're lifted from the first game, but the ability to use objects in your environment (including on city streets) to solve puzzles is a big plus. Aside from new fighting combos and villains from the comic, we're not sure just how this installment will alter the original's (already good) formula. --Mark Brooks
