Spider-Man 2: Enter: Electro[a] is a 2001 action-adventure video game based on the Marvel Comics character Spider-Man. It was developed by Vicarious Visions and published by Activision exclusively for the PlayStation. It is the sequel to Spider-Man (2000) and directly follows the events of the game, as Spider-Man attempts to thwart a criminal conspiracy orchestrated by Electro. Like its predecessor, the game features several Spider-Man villains as bosses, including the Shocker, Hammerhead, the Lizard, Sandman, and Electro, as well as his charged-up Hyper-Electro persona, created exclusively for the game.

Enter: Electro received a mixed reception from critics, many of whom generally considered it a downgrade from its predecessor. The game has become notorious for having numerous details, including its entire final stage, modified after the September 11 attacks; originally set to take place on top of the World Trade Center, the setting was changed to a generic skyscraper following a release delay.

Enter: Electro was followed by Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2 for the home video game consoles and PlayStation Portable, based on the first two films released in 2002 and 2004, while the standalone sequel for the Game Boy Advance, Spider-Man: Mysterio's Menace, was released in September 2001.
