Summary

Its a pretty fun game the first time through but not really a whole lot of replay value... it follows the story pretty well and goes a little more in depth then the movie does.

Sound

The music wasnt anything special and the diaglouge was a little cheesy and lame at times, but it was good enough to make it through the game I guess...

Gameplay

Pretty good gameplay... some of the levels were pretty free flowing and non liniear which is always good, but the combat is kinda sketchy at times, although I did like the variety of physical/webbing attacks they gave you (even though I barely used most of them)

Summary

This game is an average game. The graphics are okay, The sound is average, and i liked the strory line. I bought this game used for $12.99 and I was surprised thats how cheap it was. This game is based on some of the real spiderman movie and they added some of their own ideas. This game was worth for what i paid, You should get it to if you like spiderman.

Sound

The sound is okay. What i really hate is the music they play. Horrible choice of music they picked for the game. Another thing i hated was Spidermans corny comments. His disses are so stupid.

Gameplay

There is a lot of action in this game. There is also a lot of different combo moves you can do with spiderman and they are easy to do!!! There is different kinds of training you can play in this game. One of the training is bowling. Thats right Spiderman is the ball and you have to knock down ten guys representing pins. It sounds stupid but its fun. If you like easy games you would like this game which i beat in only three days. This is the fastest and easiest game i have ever palyed!!!

Sound

The sound was mediocre, just okay. The creators did not take advantage of the surround sound capability which would have made the game that much better. And the voice overs are terrible. I noticed that sometimes one person will be "talking" with sound coming out with no mouth movement whatsoever. Since when is that possible?

Gameplay

I have never been a Spiderman fan so i was suprised at how much I liked this game. I am happy that the story line could relate to people like me with no background knowledge like the fact that they actually introduced how the green goblin was created instead of just throwing him in the game like i was already suppossed to know what that was. that was very cool. However, i don't like the fact that if you mess up on a "mission" that you should just start over. In my opinion there should be alternate endings/consequences for not completing tasks. That would make the game that much cooler and would make me want to play it again to see what other ending i can obtain. But as it stands, someone who is a hard gamer can beat this in 4 hours. Now I got some cheats which let you play as other characters which seemed cool. But all that is is a different skin on spider-man, everybody still calls you Spidey and none of the villans' comments change towards you. THE GAME SHOULD BE LONGER IF SOMEONE IS SUPPOSED TO PAY $50.00 FOR IT. other than that, it was kool and the gang.

Sound

Great sounds and sound effects from Spidey's quips to the web-line thwips. The voice talent, amazing with original voice-overs from Tobey Maguire (as Spider-Man) and Willem Dafoe (Green Goblin).
Also the Narrator for the training levels and general tips through the game is talented and funny Bruce Campbell best known for in the Evil Dead movies. The explosions and fight noises especially in the fights with the Green Goblin gives an element of realism that helps make the game hard to put down.

Gameplay

With 22 awesome levels and in addition to the Green Goblin, Spider-Man will have to face off against Shocker, the Vulture, and Scorpion plus random thieves and gang members, which means there’s a lot of villain butt-kicking to be had. The game being adapted from the new Spiderman movie adds to the N64, PC, PS Spider-Man game featuring a new combo system and 28 amazing and cool looking moves with 7 web attacks. With all the powers of Spider-Man at your disposal, whether it's beating the snot out of bad guys with cool moves, great strength and blurring speed or whipping around on a web, I really enjoyed this game. There where several times when the camera angles were tricky and annoying some of those times fighting bad guys could get very irritating. With new interesting and useful methods such as the 3-D Radar which is a compass and height meter, to the Camera Lock feature so no villain can hide for long , mixed with classic arachnid abilities make this game an addictive keeper. There is some replay ability trying to unlock new costumes and training levels. Ultimately one of the best if not the best Spider-Man games ever.

Sound

good and bad...the only bad thing is the music is really quiet....the good is the incredible sound effects and their use with dolby....it's really intense fighting the green goblin in the air with explosions and neat sound effects surrounding you..

Gameplay

we all know what spidey can do, so i'll complain about the control....the web slinging in cities is incredible and controls very well....i have no prob with that, but i hate the controls for the indoor levels, or more specifically, running....the problem is that when you change the camera angle, you hav to wait a precious couple seconds so spidey moves in that direction...if you don't, then you can be running in a specific direction, change the camera in the direction you want while running, but you'll keep going in the previous direction.....it sucks....

Sound

The music is fitting but gets repetitive. The voice taunts get extremely repetitive. The hand to hand combat noises are dull. The web slinging sound is fine. The explosions are average. The 5.1 really isn't put to good use. Voice acting in the CGs fits the bill. Not really a high point or a low point of the game.

Gameplay

The very worst part of the game, or maybe second worst next to the camera. Your attacks are made up of 3 button string combos. There is no block button so you can easily get beat down. When fighting enimies like Green Goblin hand to hand, you can easily get inturupted while attacking which seems somewhat unfair. Hand to hand combat is very basic and uninspired.

Your web attacks are all basically garbage when it comes to effectiveness. I thought Spidy's weds were supposed to be strong, low level thugs easily break out. Super villans do not get effected by his web shots.

Spiderman is just plain too slow for some levels. Case and point, there is a level where Green Goblin plants bombs and you must dissable them. You have to swing throughout the city and locate them within a given time limit, sounds fair but, the bombs are simply too far apart with not enough time allocated to disarm them. Spidy just doesn't have the speed to make it across town fast enough, maybe the developers were thinking of the wrong super hero for this level.

What is Spidy clinging to when swinging high through the air. Last time I checked, web doesn't stick to the clouds.
