I haven't played either game, but my question was about Spiderman. So, I hear that the web slinging mechanic as far as traversing was phenomenal, only second to Spiderman 2 from way back. What was it about Spiderman 2 that made web slinging have the best feel?

The nailed the physics and momentum of Spidey's swing it was like pitch perfect.

Spider-Man only has a leg up in a few areas; it helps that it got released later and devs had something to compare it to. The gadgetry in SM is pretty creative and fit in with Parker's scientific background. The in-game version of Spider-Man's NYC is really well done, but comparing it with Gotham in the Arkham games isn't really a good fit. One is bright and airy and the other(s) is/are always dark and almost claustrophobic in vibe. (It would be interesting to see what an NYC version in a Punisher or Daredevil game would look like.)

Even with all that said...The Bat is still The goddamned Bat.

I don't understand the batmobile hate. I had fun using it.
Driving on skates no brake

shyt was forced ... I need missions where the batmobile is an option not mandatory

I'm fukkin Batman not Knight Rider

I loved the premise but hated the reality so I never finished that game

Although I voted Batman only cause I never played that game and heard it was great.. But Spiderman forcing me to play as The bish for certain missions is the same shyt I hate

And the reason I never finished Spiderman but I knocked off most of the side missions.. game was short and seemed like a DLC intentional cash grab
To get a nikka to spend over $60

Which I didn't

This. But a lot of things I find easy that others dont

Spider-Man has obviously better navigation, but also a better combat system and story.

We're talking about two good games but Spider-Man is superior.

Both are good games for what they are.I absolutely hated the tank bullshyt in Arkham Knight, and my biggest knock on Spider-man was that it was too easy.
My biggest knock is that I could never complete a full on stealth mission

I mean the main tank stuff was easy, and wasn't a lot in the main story, most of the tank stuff is side stuff like disarming those bombs those are hard only towards the end, and the riddle challengers I could see people being annoyed using the batmobile to do those but outside of that it's not even close

The ace chemicals part was like some shyt out the cartoon, how used the batmobile to solve puzzles shyt was seamless, way better than any part of spider-man which was the same combat over and over again, the stealth sections were trash, nothing like the predator rooms which got harder as the game progressed and the last bank robbery with two face wasn't easy either

Can't believe Spiderman won this poll by a landslide. Some of y'all too young to remember Arkham

naw its like with anything else Arkham became too successful so its cool to hate

Arkham Knight is the best of all the games by far, best graphics, best gameplay, etc. They complain about the batmobile, you don't even need to use it to travel around the map, only for tank battles which are easy, even if you do not like that gameplay its not the bulk of the game.

The puzzle section with the batmobile at ACE Chemicals is straight out the animated series, Batman using is tool set seamlessly to solve problems.

Spider-Man is a rip off with ubisoft level bloated content. The challenge rooms alone make Batman superior game, content wise. Also Spider-Man is all combat, which is meant to be easy. The main gameplay in Arkham are the predator rooms, which let you be creative and provide more challenging than brawling
