Summary Well, I went out and saw Spiderman the movie twice, and absolutley loved it. I wanted to be spiderman! Well I decided to go ahead and buy the game. I was not dissapointed. I guess I'm not the best gamer around, but I was still able to beat the game one normal mode with some difficulty. I have yet to beat it on hero or super hero.The game contains a cool story-line, along with addictave mini-games. The way I see it, either a game follows a story-line, or it it just an addictive simple game. This game has a little of each. I must have spent 5 hrs on that swing rings game. You have to use your web to swing through rings that appear all throughout the city, and I have to say, it took skill to master. Also the obsticle course was fun. This game also has great cinimatic movies, wonderful voice acting, and good boss fights. Sound Toby makes spiderman come alive! I personally loved his cute little remarks while fighting and such. I admit, I can see people getting highly annoyed with it, but on the other hand, it added a certain something to the game. Music was well done with mood changes and such. Fighting sound effects were well done. I didn't notice anything too dramatic about them. It was just sort of background stuff and since it wasn't annoying it must have been at least ok. I thought it was quite good in general.Gameplay I played this game in the store before I bought it, and the thing the stuck out in my mind was how wonderful it was to control spiderman. I was just swinging and loving it! You will most definatley be surprised when you first start to play. Trust me.Spiderman is reletivley easy to control, and there are alot of combos to use if you decide to. See, I just found a few that worked really well and used them all the time. Maybe that is why the fighting got A LITTLE BIT tedious. If you take the time you can prevent this. Other than that, the fighting is excellent. You can zip to the ceiling, or to the wall, or land on someone's head to punch them, or use melee, or hide in the shadows, or use your web, or (do you get the picture?). There is sooooo much variety of combat styles...wow me writing all this is making me change that gameplay from a 4 to a 5.....ahh there we go, lol. Sometimes I got frustrated, but it was a fun kind of challange. You do everything from air-fighting, to sneaking around, beating the crap outta enemies. It is truely a great game in that sense. Have I mentioned how fun it is to just control Spiderman alone? Would you like to Comment? Join VideoGameReview for a free account, or Login if you are already a member.

Summary This game is based on the spiderman moview. The game follows the movie perfectly until bad guys like scorpio and other supervillains that are not in the movie show up. This game is also to easy. I beat it in 3 and a half hours and i am 12 and not very good at video games.Sound The sound of this game is the worst part. The music is annoying and when the thugs talk they sound like idiots.Gameplay The gameplay is not that bad the controls are easy until you get to stuff like web domes etc.Would you like to Comment?

Summary Possibly the best game on the Gamecube! This game is without a doubt a must have for everyone who has a next-gen system! The only major fault is the fact that it's too short.Sound The music isn't really memorable, but it's not bad or annoying like a carcommercial or anything. The sound effects, though, are pretty good, and so's the voice acting. Gameplay This is basically what makes this game so great! The levels are wonderfully designed and diverse! There's fast-paced battle levels, slow-pacedswinging-around-the-city levels, and the best part is probably the stealth missions, which are slow-paced until you get caught! I can't describe all of the levels, but there is no doubt that they far surpass Spider-Man 1 and 2 on PSX. The story could be better, but it's a butchered version of the movie's story, aside from that, it's pretty good. The parts that they add were really well designed except for a few faults (like Shocker being a LOT more powerful than he ever was in the comics). I generally enjoyed the story, but what made me love this game was the gameplay. Replayability: I rented this game and beat it the day I rented it (like I said before, it's too short), but was that the end of the fun? Heck no, I still played through the game 4 or 5 times before I returned it! Not only that, I'm planning on buying it! The gameplay is THAT good! Would you like to Comment?

Summary For a game that I rented it definitely surprised me, almost makes me wont to buy it but maybe I’ll get it used. The box designed was made vary well. There were some things I didn’t like for instance the camera was a little hard to control some times. All the voice acting was done vary, vary good.Sound voice acting two thumps up. Some explosion you don’t hare and that makes me wont to buy it used.Gameplay The targeting system could have been done a little better and does take a little getting use to. All the movement of Spider Man and other characters was flawless.Would you like to Comment? Join VideoGameReview for a free account, or Login if you are already a member. Summary Hmm Where to start. I would say that Spiderman for GC is a good game. But not worth the 50 dollars I didn't have to pay for it. I got the game free when I ordered my GameCube. And I have beat myself up to this day for not getting 007 Agent Under Fire. Now I am a major spiderman fan but this game and the ones before are fun but just rentals. Not worth the money. And it also shares the same fault that the other 2 have. No multiplayer. If it did this game would be worth every bit of $50. I mean what could be better than playing as not just spidey but all the villans in a 4 man brawl? Apparently Activision doesen't see this.Sound Is ok. I personally like orcestra music so alot of the music I liked. I especially like the song for the final battle. The sounds all come together well, fitting with the music and voices. And the addition of Tobey Maguire and Willem Defoe's voices is a nice touch. All in all sound is very good.Gameplay Gameplay is better than the previous 2. More combat moves. More moves like spidey's. Handles very well with the gamecube's controller. Is fun for awhile but will be sitting on your shelf before the week is over. Gameplay is good but could be a little better.Would you like to Comment? Join VideoGameReview for a free account, or Login if you are already a member.
