Summary
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2throws players into the shoes of the two Spider-Men, Peter Parker and Miles Morales, letting gamers experience swingingaround New York City while fighting crime.Unlike the previous games, though,Marvel’s Spider-Man 2’s New York City map is a bit larger and more realistic, so it takes more time to traverse.
But, when incorporating the plentiful movement abilities and options that the two Spider-Men have, mobility turns out to be quite easy in comparison to the previous titles. Fans can purchase mobility upgrades, as well as tune into newer moves that allow them to work their way around New York’s skyscrapers with ease.
5Check Out The Moves List
UnlikeMarvel’s Spider-ManandMarvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, fans have many of the movement upgradesinstantly available to themfrom the start. To figure out what skills they already have obtained for the Spider-Men, head over to the ‘Moves List’ screen on the menu. From here, scroll down to the ‘Traversal’ moves.
Here, players can see every movement ability they have, which can be very beneficial next time they’re needed to swing 3000m. Players can perform two Web Zips, a skill that had to be learned in the previous game, as well as the Charge Jump, Dive, Air Tricks, and Quick Recovery. All of these skills can help Peterand/or Milesrun around the city with further complexity, but much more momentum.
4Purchase Shared Traversal Skills
There are three different skill trees that gamers can access inMarvel’s Spider-Man 2:Peter’s skill tree, Miles' skill tree, and a shared skill tree full of new moves and abilities that cater to both Spider-Men. The shared skill tree plays host to a variety of skills that focus on combat efficiency and traversal advantages.
Through the middle of the shared skill tree, players will find six movement skills that can be purchased with skill points. All of these skills are important for those who wish to maneuver around the map more easily. Here are all the movement skills that can be purchased in the shared skill treebetween Peter Parkerand Miles Morales:
3Spider-Jump and Spider-Dash
After marching their way through the shared skill tree, players will eventually come across two movement skills, both of which apply incredible features to the Spider-Men’s traversal arsenal.Spider-Jumpisa shared skillthat both Miles and Peter can use while swinging around NYC. When Spider-Jump is purchased, players can hold L1 and press X. This will activate the Spider-Jump ability, which sends Spider-Man flying upward.
Spider-Dashis another skill that gives Miles and Peter another movement ability to activate while in the air. After the skill is acquired, players can hold L1 and press Triangle to send the Spider-Man bursting forward with a rush of speed. Both of these skills are necessary to have when Miles and/or Peter need to race across New York.
2Obtain Traversal Suit Tech
Both Spider-Men have wonderful options to maneuver around the city alone and skills to purchase to make it easier. However, Suit Tech shouldn’t be overlooked for its mobility upgrades.On the ‘Suit Tech’ screen,players will find the ‘Traversal’ upgrades. These offer a bundle of new tech that players can purchase using different tokens obtained while fighting crime and looting tech boxes.
There are ten upgrades that players can purchase in the Traversal upgrades on the Suit Tech screen, all of which are extremely helpful in boosting the speed and efficiency of Spider-Man’s mobility. Here is a list of all the Traversal upgrades in Suit Tech:
1Web Wings and Wind Tunnels
Web Wings are available for players to use from the beginning ofMarvel’s Spider-Man 2,during the fight with Sandman. After this lengthy boss fight, both Spider-Man are capable of activating their Web Wings by pressing Triangle. This allows Miles and Peter to glide across the city. But, Web Wings only works with speed and momentum. Without the two, Spider-Man crashes to the ground.
To use Web Wings at their maximum potential, players should glide into Wind Tunnels, which are indicated by strings of wind flowing across the city. Hitting R3 also reveals Wind Tunnels in the city by encircling them with a bright blue light. Gliding through these Wind Tunnels practically allows the Spider-Men to fly for a short period. This is a big helpfor the ‘Soar’ trophythat requires players to glide from the Financial District to Astoria without anything other than the Web Wings.
