http://xbox.ign.com/articles/521/521020p1.html - This explains the experience that both Rune and the_marq had playing the game. I'll be so nice as to put in the article. Hot off the presses from IGN:
Quote:
June 03, 2004 - Like every action loving gamer across the planet, we became ecstatic when an unofficial Spider-Man 2 demo for PC was released as part of a Russian soft drink promotional program. We'll jump at any chance to play Spider-Man 2 on any platform because the game simply looks fun, see. Turns out this demo is not for the game we thought it would be.
In a nutshell, avid PC gamers are getting shafted. Spider-Man 2 for PC is a strictly toddler-oriented title that is in no way indicative of the console experience that we've covered for so long now. This is not a publisher trying to convince people to stray away from an unofficial demo, either. The game is fundamentally different in many ways.
On PC, Spider-Man 2 features brighter graphics more reminiscent of a cartoon than the movie. And, though it also features a familiar storyline with familiar characters, it boasts a kid friendly, intentionally simplified control scheme that's not for the hardcore amongst us.
Again, if you're interested in playing the Spider-Man 2 PC demo in order to see a bit of what the console versions will eventually be, don't bother. The titles are different and one does not represent the quality of the other.
