Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 had a lot of anticipation leading up to the Venom battle in the game. While many were happy with how the game turned out entirely, that is not the case for everyone. The game’s trailers showcased Spider-Man being chased around the city by Venom, but this expectation left players disappointed. It’s important to note that this article contains spoilers for the boss battle and may not be suitable for players who haven’t completed it yet.

Many fans, upon reaching the Venom battle, stretched out so they could prepare for one of the most adventurous boss battles based on the trailers. Fans are disappointed to see that the Venom battle, which appeared like a movie scene in the CGI trailer, was mostly conducted in a static location.

While players had to reach the end of the game to confront Venom, the way things played out left many fans dissatisfied, with many believing that the game rushed through Venom’s story. Fans wanted more build-up and development of Venom’s animosity towards Peter Parker, potentially through a chase scene or pre-Anti-Venom fight. In the trailers, players got to see a cinematic chase that left them in awe, only to see the same not being implemented in the game.

Just because everyone got to see a chase scene in the trailer, almost everyone was excited to see this mission. But once players reached the battle and defeated Venom, many started to wonder where the chase scene went. While such a city chase was done for Sandman, the devs completely missed out on the quest for Venom. Many players understood the original poster’s frustration and went on to share their opinions.

While everyone was disappointed about the final fight in the game, one player was happy about the first.

The fact that Insomniacs falsely marketed their game didn’t sit right with players. Many players have high expectations for the games, and they feel let down because the developers raised their hopes. Although the game is still considered a significant success, what is your opinion of how Insomniac handled the final battle?
