ups: This game has a great multiplayer where teamwork is rewarded, same flow as the old game, but with better characters such as Venom, Penance, and Green Goblin. Enemies are more varied than the first game. There are bigger explosions, and more stuff to destroy. The story has some twists, and is interesting enough to follow along. The respawn was changed to coins, which can be found or earned through a max fusion, which is a hell of alot better than waiting for the respawn time to be up.
Downs: The game seemed short, once the action started getting interesting it ended. It seemed pretty easy to beat, even on legendary. Anti and Pro paths both seemed too much alike as far as missions and the storyline doesn't change. The game took less of an RPG influence, and more of a repetitive action game. Each character has only 4 special attacks, which gets boring quick.
Conclusion: Decent party game if there's plenty of beer.
