Gotta admit that I really liked Spiderman2 too, even if the PC version is a bit lame/too easy/short....it feels great webswinging around the city!
From the IGN head 2 head :
About the PC Version :
"WHOOPS!" This is an expression that comes to mind when we think of the rather oddly developed Spider-Man 2 for PC. For some unthinkable reason, Activision put it on a completely different track than the console versions. It simply is not the same game and it really doesn't represent the movie at all. Talk about a total marketing ploy, huh?
The control system uses a one-click-and-aim mechanic, which has you targeting sky-borne grapple points. You can zip to buildings as well, but you can't actually swing from them. Even more bizarre, there's a ceiling on the city; you can't climb over some tall buildings, which makes gameplay more funneled and linear. The whole experience, to say the least, is inferior to the console versions and you needn't concern yourself with it for the sake of this comparison. If you only own a PC, well, it's time to invest in a console.

Hey, I SAID it was lamer....I still thought it was a fun couple of 4-5 hours to play thru.
Besides, my 7 year old son loves it!

I too had a great weekend, played SH4/Siren/Onimusha 3/Bond:Everything or Nothing/The Suffering/SCandora Tommorrow.
SCT: I am surprised how good is SCT. Graphics are significantly better than SC1(PS2) and it should get atleast 9/10 IMO. Lighting/Shadowing is brilliant at places. Why can't they have dynamic shadowing in entire game? Is it bec'se it is not possible on PS2 or bec'se they didn't have enough time? Frequent (not that frequent) Checkpoints/savepoints are actually helpful.
SH4: Different from other SH games till now. I couldn't determine whether graphics were better or lesser than SH3. Story is quite interesting (though I still have to figure it out). It is easier to kill dogs this time. But those flying men are so irritating, they simply refuse to die.
Bond-EON: This game surprised me most. TONs of action packed gameplay with good graphics/steady frame rate despite explosions all around. Gameplay is fast and easy. At times you have do SC (stealth). Among better games of this year.
Siren: Visuals are so different. Trying to figure out how to go about chapter 2.
The Suffering: It is like Half Life. Good that you can play either 3rd or 1st person view. Nice shadowing effects.
Onimusha 3: By mistake got Japanese copy instead of English. Shall return it. Opening FMV by Robot was jawdropping. They were only a notch below FF:TSW. I hope next gen give us atleast those visuals.
