Spider-Man 2 game, as envisioned by Insomniac Studio, continues to be one of the best superhero games, especially with its close combat style and open world.
The combat in the game relies on delivering powerful strikes to the enemy, with complex consecutive moves that can be directed at a group of enemies simultaneously. However, there were other combat moves that were supposed to be in the game but seemed to have been abandoned at the last moment, even though they appeared ready and didn’t require much tweaking.
Through the account of the activist Ameer on the X platform, a video was reviewed showing a double finishing move that was removed from the game, but a modder was able to activate it after the developer inexplicably removed it from the final version of the game.
As seen in the video below, the move allowed Spider-Man to execute a double strike by pulling one enemy and pushing them to collide with another opponent in an exciting acrobatic move.
Spider-Man 2 game possesses many complex combat moves that set it apart from other fighting games, especially with its reliance on using Spider Web ropes to execute complex and exciting moves at the same time.
Modders have found code in Spider-Man 2 that confirms double finishers were once a thing in development
The animations on this are so sick, really wish devs had enough time to put this into the final game

Meanwhile, although Insomniac Studio or even Sony have not announced any major additional content or expansion for the game, significant leaks that occurred through hacking the studio’s servers last year revealed the existence of additional content already associated with the game.
While the audience awaits the announcement of this content, many rumors have emerged suggesting that it may come under the name Carnage or possibly be related to the character “Madame Beetle,” a famous character known in the Spider-Man movies and stories series. This made the game’s audience eagerly anticipate the official announcement of this content at any moment since last year, but this has not happened yet.
Until we receive new updates on the future of the series, share your opinion on the combat system of the Spider-Man 2 game. Do you think that removing such a newly discovered move from the game could have added more excitement to the combat system?
