Alongside the fluid combat, gripping plot, and roster of memorable villains to fight, another reason that makes Marvel's Spider-Man 2 one of the best superhero games in recent years is the attention of detail that the team at Insomniac put in to creating their version of New York City.

From the vast amount of Easter Eggs paying homage to other Marvel characters to the ways civilians excitedly react when they see their favourite web-swinger, every little detail helps immerse players into this world.

There are likewise plenty of smaller details peppered throughout, which only the most eagle-eyed players would have spotted. One of the most impressive, is that players can see the streets being cleared of sand following the epic Sandman fight which kickstarts the game.

After the roads have been left covered in sand and rubble, it's possible to spot damaged buildings being repaired by a company called Damage Control, whose job in the comics is to clean up when the fighting is done, as well as see the remaining sand being removed throughout the course of the game.

The developers really did think of everything.
