Treyarch's second movie tie-in was the first to take the wall-crawler and put him in a free-roaming city where the only limit to your playtime was when you got sick of leaping off the Empire State and thwipping your way down Main Street. The answer to that is never. Of course being in the throngs of a post-GTA III world, everybody and their granny was developing open-world titles, yet in this case the very idea of giving you infinite time to wear the iconic red 'n blue costume and dole out precognitive Spidey-Sense'd justice throughout the city was genuinely salivating. Chuck in a bunch of random pedestrian side-missions involving everything from ferrying people to hospital who had life-threatening injuries to reprising Peter Parker's pizza-delivery job (except with added rooftop-leaping), and you had a thoroughly enjoyable experience where most people had a blast flinging Spidey through Central Park, never mind doing the missions in between. Even today although Spider-Man: Web of Shadows almost reached the same heights as S2, and last year's Amazing Spider-Man tie-in was a surprisingly fun romp through a city with some pretty cool spectacle-infused boss battles, the weight of the above title's web-swinging and sense of immersion in a city relying on you to save it has yet to be beaten. Replay it specifically for: Hitching a ride on a helicopter to visit the Statue of Liberty.
