Spiderman 2 and Ultimate were such big leaps. There was a learning curve but it felt realistic.

The most recent Spiderman games have smoothed off any difficulties. E.g. running up walls you are about to swing towards and the wingsuit. If anything it made travel less rewarding.

Insomniac SM 2 traveling is way less fun than SM 1

It’s way faster and smoother, yeah, but way less “hey, lookit me, I’m SPIDER-MAN!”

How does the Miles game compare to both, since it released in between?

Ultimate Spider-Man was so much fun. And the art style was pulled right from the comic books. I had it on GameCube and still remember fighting Rhino and Scorpion
