How to heal in Spider-Man 2

A key facet of the combat in Spider-Man 2 is the Focus meter, which can be filled by kicking backsides. With enough enemies beaten, the bar will fill and you'll be able to unleash some special abilities. Your Focus meter and its full bars will be crucial to healing your HP

When you have a full Focus Bar, you will have the option to either perform a finishing move or heal. For those looking for a top-up of HP in Spider-Man 2, it is a simple matter of pressing the down button on the D-pad when the Focus Bar is full.

Thankfully, you won't be in trouble if you forget how to do this. The game's HUD is more than generous in providing you with the right prompts and instructions for when opportunities arise to use either Spider-Man's skills. This includes healing, as well as some of Spidey's more devastating abilities, so keep an eye on when your screen's border turns red, as that's when the situation gets a little sticky.
