This is a wonderful game, i would give it 5 stars, but i am disappointed in the gaming industry for not making games closed-captioned for the deaf. Now, a year ago I would have laughed at that thought. But i recently became deaf, and I play alot of video games. This one in paticular has alot of FMV, that have sounds and voices tha tell you what is happening in the story-line. Not being able to hear makes that, impossible.

great game, very fun, highly recommended for the hearing

my spidey sense is a-tinglin'!

Neversoft has really outdone themselves this time!

This game is just cool. That's the best way I can describe it. It is a 3D third-person game, but it has little in common with most 3D "shoot-em-up" games that rely on blood and guts and big guns for entertainment. Spiderman, in all his good-natured glory, is a more wholesome hero who still finds time to kick some major villianry.

Speaking of the villians, you'll get your handful. I've only had this game for a couple of days, but Venom, Rhino and Lizard have all tried for a piece of Spidey, and there are implications of showdowns with Doc Oc and Carnage to come. Using a variety of attacks (my personal favorite is slinging a web at the enemy and using it like a rope to hurl him into a wall), you'll find that Spiderman is outnumbered, but not outmatched.

Actually, the "in-between" parts when Spidey's not duking it out with the bad guys are EVEN BETTER. In an early section of the game, Spiderman must use his finesse and web-slinging mojo to trounce from skyscraper to skyscraper as he evades NYPD and helicopters. Usually, you'd want to take your time as you sling your way through the city at unnerving heights, but if you stop too long in one place, you'll most certainly get gunned down. Using instincts and quick decision-making, I was literally breathless when I finally made it to temporary safety.

I also found the replay factor to be high. I initially played this on a friend's playstation for three hours. When it was time to go, rather than save the game on his memory card, I opted to start over from the beginning because seeing it all over again was so darn fun! I think anyone considering this game will find it to have an interesting plot, a fast pace, and lots of eye candy. My friend mentioned at one point in the game that watching me play the game was kind of like watching a movie. Even the training mode and hall of comics are worthy supplements to the game. It is definitely worth a look.

not bad, not bad

The game is fun for a few hours, but then it just starts getting boring.

This game has amazing graphics, real good voice overs, but it's just not worth the 40+ bucks.

It takes about 2 days to finish, ones you do, your probable never touch it again.

I suggest you rent the game first!

Spidey is FUN FUN FUN

My son and I love playing this game. He is five, and still was able to learn to play and enjoy the game. It offers lots of action, and not too much negative stuff. No blood and gore.
The story is intriguing, and the fighting, swinging, climbing, shooting, searching, chasing, solving and exploring is loads of fun.

I want to find more games like this one.

Pretty Good....

Spider-Man has great gameplay along with the storyline, and at points it has a bit of a challenge for an "E" rated game. Personaly I feel that a child would have trouble solving some of the puzzles. My only complaint is that I whipped right threw it. I beat it every time I play it, and have beaten it with all the costumes. If your looking for a less-challenging game with low amounts of violence, this just might be the game for you.

A very fun game

I would highly recommend buying this game. When I fisrt played the game I counldn't put it down. The toughest part of the game is learning the controls, but over all it's a awesome game to play.

The Amazing Spider-Man

Without a doubt, Activision's SPIDER-MAN is the best superhero game ever made for any console system. While it is disappointingly short -- particularly if played mercilessly for hours at a stretch, as most will do -- the game has everything a player could ask for: an appealing hero in Spider-Man, fluid controls that are easy to pick up, quick comic book-inspired action, plus plenty of secrets and in-jokes. It's very easy to become immersed in SPIDER-MAN, chuckling at Spidey's one-liners, gasping at his narrow escapes and thrilling to his daring encounters with deadly supervillains.

What more could one ask for? As mentioned, it's a tad on the short side, and can easily be completed in a couple of days (or less) of dedicated play. Secondly, the otherwise effortless controls sometimes get tangled up in the not-so-terrific camera movements, resulting in frustration and confusion. Happily that problem is a minor one, and doesn't occur often.

Beyond that, however, SPIDER-MAN is a terrific buy, a blast to play and, best of all, its theme song is something one can actually learn and sing along to!

I can't believe I waited so long to play this game (bought it last year) but I've been busy. Never played a game through twice but this game I've played it through 3 times already. Steathmode is great (it's cheating a little but hey you have super powers - use them). The dialogue is comic-book hilarious. Loved the ending movie. The first time you play this game it can be frustrating because you can't save often. I must have tried for an hour until I was finally successful & allowed to save (when I was in the underground level to jump over the electromagnic walls with lasers shooting at you). The second time you play is much quickler & enjoyable (unlimited webbing) & the third time your costume allows you to become invisible. I highly recommend this game. You can finish the game in 3 hours (which is about my limit to escaping reality for a while). I'm onto Spiderman2 - keep 'em coming all you Superheroes (I mean superdesigners) out there.

I rented this game a week ago and I loved it. It stayed true to the comics, it had awasome graphics, and I lovevd those mini-movies. They were so funny. There was two things I didn't like about it. They were the game control and the camera views. Other than that it was a great video game. Also, I liked when Spidey was talking to all his friends for help. And that was one of the best endings for a video game. That poker game was so funny.
