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.

Sound

Sound isn't too bad, but is another mixed bag. Voices for the Green Goblin, and other bosses are very well done, but Spidey's voice is a little boring and flat at times, and Mary Jane's voice isn't done by the actress who played her! The sound-effects are pretty good, with window breaking, explosions, etc. being mostly very good. Other than that, the sound is very good.
Sound: 8/10

Gameplay

This is quite a mixed bag... I loved the arial parts of the game, swinging around kicking evil-doers asses, but they were too few and far between, which unfortunately brings down it's score a ways. On the other hand, the ground fighting wasn't too impressive, especially when fighting bosses. Your moves and their moves seem almost mashed together, and it's especially cheap when you're in the middle of a combo, and all of a sudden the other bad-guy starts one and kills you in the middle of your combo! Also, Mary Jane doesn't have that big of a role in the game!
Gameplay: 6/10
