Marvel’s Spider Man 2 features a lot of chaotic combat scenarios where you will be surrounded by a bunch of enemies. If you find that you have a hard time dodging in this superhero game, then you can check out this guide at Seeking Tech to see how you can make dodging easier.

By slowing down the game, you should have more time to identify incoming enemy attacks, which should make them easier to dodge.

Method #2:

Spider-Man 2 also has a setting where you can dodge all attacks by simply holding the dodge button. To turn this feature on, head to Settings and then select Controls.

Next, scroll down until you get to Continuous Dodge. This should be showing the following description:

When enabled, hold Circle to continuously dodge.

By turning on this feature, you can simply hold down the dodge button and Spider-Man will be able to evade all dodgeable attacks. As a result, you don’t have to worry about timing.
