Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 has achieved a remarkable feat by becoming the fastest-selling first-party title at launch, selling 2.5 million copies within just 24 hours. The gaming community is buzzing with excitement over the latest installment in the Spider-Man franchise. What many people may have overlooked is the inclusion of several references to Tobey Maguire’s portrayal of Spider-Man in the game.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is the first PlayStation 5-exclusive video game, and Insomniac Games has done an impressive job with it. The story of two Spider-Men coming together to save New York is truly captivating. However, one of the game’s highlights is the nostalgic nod to Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man movies.
