'Spider-Man 2' plot at a glance

In Spider-Man 2, you take on the roles of Peter Parker and Miles Morales as two of the protagonists, leading their varied lives and combating their personal struggles while keeping the world around them safe from supervillains. While Miles Morales is on a vengeful mission to avenge the loss of his father and keep the city safe from crime, Peter Parker’s Spider-Man mentors Miles while struggling to keep his life together. Once Harry Osborn joins the action, the symbiote suit is introduced to the story and soon enough, we see Peter getting influenced by the alien symbiote and using its power to fight Kraven The Hunter. The story arc eventually leads the player to Venom, whom both the Spider-Men fight to the end. 

Should you buy 'Spider-Man 2' on PC?

It is an obvious Yes! If you have appreciated Marvel’s web-slinging hero in both his forms, Spider-Man 2 provides a great premise to have one hell of a Spidey experience. 

That said, if you want a good deal on this otherwise old Spider-Man title, we recommend waiting until one of those Steam mega discount sales comes in. Currently, Insomniac Games is selling all its Spider-Man titles at a price of INR 3,999.
