I love this game. I bought this game four years ago and I still play it. I play it over and over again just to unlock all the costumes and comics. There are like 20 different levels incuding Daily Bugle, Subway, Waterfront warehouse,underground fortress. Bosses like, Venom, Scorpion, Rhino, Mysterio, Carnage, and Doc-ock. Guest appearences of other marvel superheroes like Torch, Black cat, Daredevil, Punisher, and Captain America. Power ups like spidey armor and heat webbing. You can unlock different costumes like Symbiot, Ben Riely costume, etc. This game is the best spiderman game ever. An instant classic.

FINALLY A DECENT SPIDERMAN GAME HAS COME OUT! After playing the demo at a local mall, i must say that i was simply amazed by the game. Activision has captured the true essence of spiderman in this game. The amazing 3D environments of NYC are a perfect backdrop for our friendly neighborhood spiderman. The sound quality was great w/the hilarious one-liners that made spidey famous. The game was easy to control and incredibly fun. I'll be first in line to buy this game when it comes out this september.

Fun, but not Funtastic

One of the most eagerly awaited video games of 2000, Spider-Man by Activision didn't find its way into my home until December. I wondered if, by then, all the built-up anticipation would inevitably lead to disappointment. The answer: certainly not.

The overall look and feel of the game remains remarkably true to the comic strip (I particularly enjoyed the characterization of Spawn). It's interesting that so many other video game adaptations of comic strips (or movies or whatever) fail in this aspect, producing games which have only a superficial connection to its underlying motif. The game's adherence to the comic strip's themes and conventions is by far its strongest aspect.

As for the gameplay, the most entertaining features are (as you've no doubt heard) the web-slinging from building to building in the exterior scees and the ability to climb on the walls and ceiling during the interior scenes. The various levels provide different types of challenges ranging from run-and-gun, chase, and find-the-keys/press-the-levers scenarios.

Still, there are a few flaw which prevent this game from acheiving true greatness. First, there is little replay value in the game. The gamespace is deceivingly vast (especially the exteriors) since most of it is populated with empty, anonymous rooftops. Second, the difficulty level could be raised a notch. At the highest difficulty setting, it still took only a few hours to beat the game. And finally, the game controls could use a little fine-tuning. Trying to turn Spidey just a few degrees left or right shouldn't be as tricky as it is.

All in all, I would definitely recommend this game to any Spiderman enthusiast.

By the way, I never did figure out what Spidey was anchoring his web on when he's swinging from building to building. Clouds? An invisible dome? Unusually steady and co-operative seagulls? It's a minor point, but it's always bothered me.

The web master strikes again!

Spider-man is one of the best super hero game ever. The game has incredible graphics. The vary from the skyline of New York to the sewers. The videos they show you before each level are great. It is like you are watching a real episode of Spider-man. The fighting is great. It is also fun to oswing from building to building. The only bad part of this game is that it is too short. Just when you feel you are really getting into the game, it is all over. But any way this game is worth the money.

This has to be one of the best games I have played in a long time. I was impressed by the graphics being as good as they are, just about n64 quality. Gameplay is where this title really shines though, I dont think I have ever had this much fun controlling an onscreen character before. Even with the control problems it is still fun to send spider-man swinging through New York. Speaking of control problems though, the camera is not the best I have ever seen, its constant changing in order to be directly behind spider-man is sometimes disorienting and can lead you to the game over screen if you are not careful. Even though there are some problems with the controls, the rest of the game more than makes up for it and will soon make you forget that there are any problems at all. If you buy this game you will definitely not be dissapointed.

THIS GAME IS A MUST HAVE!! its an awesome game!! THE STORY LINE ROCKS!! except for blackcat being a little inmodest. sweet moves. i say its a little difficult for the beginer. one of my freinds had a little trouble with all the web swinging, but it was'nt that hard for her to figure out the KICK-OFF-THE-BUILDING move. MY BROTHER LOVES IT TOO, AND HE'S THREE YEARS YOUNGER THAN ME!! i'm planning on getting SPIDEY: MOVIE GAME soon.

100 PERCENT FUN!!!!!

Finally, a good super-hero game!!

We waited for years. Played through hundreds of hours of such stinkers as the Nintendo 64 version of Superman .... Batman, the X-Men, the (shudder) Fantastic Four, even Spider-Man; nobody seemed to do them any justice. Our childhood heroes were being destroyed by an evil even worse than Lex Luthor, Magneto, or the Green Goblin and Carnage combined... bad games. ( Well, except for X-Men 2 for Genesis a few years back. That ROCKED!) That is, until now.

Activision, the wizards behind Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, did this game, Spider-Man, and I have to say it is un-...-believable. Never, NEVER has ol' web-head been represented so well. Johnny Cochrahan couldn't represent somebody this good. Anything Spidey can do in the comic, you can now achieve. Web swinging. Anywhere. In NEW YORK CITY. THIS is cool. You can literally get lost in the levels; this is not usually a good thing, but here, oh, baby, it is. The graphics are good as they seem to be pushing the PlayStation to the max. However, the game falls a little short of my expectations.

The controls are tight, so controlling Spidey is a snap; but, as in every third-person game, there is one fatal flaw: the ... camera! You can literally fall to your death because of this thing. Especially in boss fights. It just seems to wanna say, " ... you, I'm going over here." But don't worry, this only happens rarely, and in the later levels. Which brings me to my next complaint. The game is simply too short. 6 levels, even though huge, still add up to just 6. And that's simply too few for a game this good. The fighting interface is inventive, allowing you to do like Spidey and use the webs as weapons, but after a while it becomes the same old punch-punch-punch-guy-falls-down thing.

RATINGS (1-5) Graphics: 4.5 they're scrum-diddley-upmtious Sound: 5 Come on, it's even got the old T.V. song! Control: 3.5 this is what kills the game. ... camera. fun-ocity: 4.5 it's short, but it's really good!

Total: 4 stars. You'll like it. Buy it. Trust me.
