Insomniac upgraded the traversal mechanism in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. Not just that, critics believe that these new five mechanisms will give players an exact Spider-Man-like adventure in the game. Although these mechanisms were previously seen in many Spider-Man movies in the Insomniac franchise, these are completely new. The list of mechanisms starts with water skimming. If a player swings through the buildings and drops near a water body, then he can actually skim through the water without any web usage. This traversal mechanism is quite similar to another traversal mechanism, Sunset Overdrive. Sunset Overdrive can be seen in the older Spider-Man games by Insomniac.

Not just that, players can also experience loop de loop. While diving if players hold the R2 button, they can perform a loop maneuver with a super-kinetic speed. This means players can use constructions to swing and make a loop to get launched far. Remember, Andrew Garfield doing the same in the Amazing Spider-Man movie?
