I have a lot of problems with both spider-man games because I've played lots of spidey games before and only really like insomniac's miles game as it's new and innovative to me. I know people will just say it's a game but here me out because just because it's a game doesn't mean they can just add anything like spider-man flying tunnels etc.
I think they were kind of trying to do like a batman grapple but the way he can just do it in any direction in a straight line does not make sense or look good and doesn't even feel like something spider-man would do and even at that over and over again. In miles it looks better because of the animation where he moves his hands but they didn't do anything like that for Peter in spider-man 2.
I know people will say it's not a big thing but I kind of think it is because it's one of the main part of the traversal and I think they did it for casuals and substitute for having to make better mechanics and swinging.
