Spider-Man 2: The Sinister Six (or Spider-Man 2: Enter the Sinister Six in Europe) is a 2001 platform video game based on the Marvel Comics character Spider-Man. It was developed by Torus Games and published by Activision for the Game Boy Color. The game released on May 30, 2001. It is an alternative sequel to Spider-Man (2000), and mostly follows the events of the Game Boy Color version of that game. Though it has a similar format, it is not related to Spider-Man: Return of the Sinister Six (1992).

A canonical sequel to the first game, Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro, was eventually released on August 26, 2001 (but re-released on October 19, 2001) as a PlayStation exclusive, followed by a standalone sequel, Spider-Man: Mysterio's Menace, released on September 19, 2001 for the Game Boy Advance.

Gameplay

The player controls Spider-Man through six side-scrolling levels, battling minor thugs and minions until defeating the villains in a boss fight at the end of each level. During gameplay, Spider-Man is able to jump, punch, kick, climb walls, and use his web shooters to web-swing or temporarily stun enemies. Each level involves completing a secondary objective before letting the player access the stage's boss encounter, such as finding keys to unlock doors or seeking out specific enemies who impede the player's progress.

Reception

The game was met with average reviews, as GameRankings gave it a score of 70.29%.
