10 Video Games Changed After Real-World Events

10. Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro - World Trade Centre Battle

Post-9/11, Spider-Man's content was far closer to the content of controversy than any other game at the time.

In the game, subtitled Enter Electro, Spider-Man would have literally fought the final battle of the game atop the World Trade Centre, screeching "tonight, Electro dances with the gods!", before using the iconic spire of the building as a lightning rod and empowering himself.

Obviously, this wasn't ideal for the development team nor the game's marketing, given that the Twin Towers had already appeared in some marketing materials (and still featured in some capacity, in some regions' releases of the game), but later versions of the game would remove the World Trade Centre entirely, with the final fight taking place atop two generic skyscrapers instead.

Interestingly, it's not the first time Spider-Man would have to remove Twin Towers-related imagery - the teaser trailer for the original 2002 movie featured Spider-Man catching a helicopter full of criminals and pulling it back into a web suspended between the towers themselves.
