Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Review – Web Warriors
There’s quite a bit of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 that can be summed up as “more of the same.” Granted, that’s a good thing–both the original game and the Miles Morales-focused follow-up feature fantastic reimaginings of their respective Spider-Men, exhilarating web-swinging, and superb combat mechanics. Who wouldn’t just want more of that? And sure, more of what came before does mean that Spider-Man 2 retreads less successful ground, like the first game’s buzz-killing science puzzles. However, the good far outweighs the bad, and a few new gameplay mechanics freshen up aspects of both traversal and combat.

Nintendo is extending the life of Mario Kart 8 on the Nintendo Switch with a series of DLC expansions that add old courses from throughout the franchise. While that means we won’t be getting Mario Kart 9 anytime soon, these new courses are much more than simple recreations of what players could find in Mario Kart 64. Instead, these are full-on remastered tracks, and while some add new features, they all look spectacular.
In our video comparing original courses with their Mario Kart 8 Deluxe versions, the upgrades are pretty clear. For instance, Choco Mountain, which first appeared in Mario Kart 64, isn’t marked by the same bland brown scenery and dense Silent-Hill-esque fog. It’s still creepy in Mario Kart 8, with some of that fog seeping in, along with extra spooky details, like dead trees that smatter the sides of the track.
