Spider-Man

An enjoyable game, which offers fun and easy game play and fair replay ability. Staying true to the comic and providing a low learning curve gives this game something not seen in most action cartridges today. Also, the narration and animated scenes used (though lengthy animations are replaced by slide shows on the Nintendo 64 version) use full advantage of the platforms' capabilities.

If you played "Spider-Man" on the PS version, then you've seen it all. To truly experience it you should get the DC version. Simply put it's a much graphically superior game; the textures are sharp, levels are easy to navigate, and it has much better sound then it's PS cousin. I bought this game back in late '00s and it still holds up even till this day. Well, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance is a much superior and strategic game but if you're a fan of 'ol Web Head then you owe it yourself to pick this up for your gaming library. Swinging around the city as Spidey has never looked this good and dead-on in a video game. If you have a Dreamcast, snag this up for cheap. The DC version is simply incredible.

This cool Marvel superhero game pays proper tribute by staying true to the comics. Of all the Marvel superhero games that have been so lame with weak graphics and gameplay, Spiderman improves in both departments. It also features the voice of Stan Lee, the creator of Spiderman comics.

As you'd expect Spiderman does whatever a spider can. He does more than spin webs. In fact, he uses them as weapons and shields. When he's not using web in combat, he punches and kicks as well. Spidey has his hands full as he battles Venom, Rhino, Mysterio, Scorpion, and Dr. Octopus to name a few. Look for Captain America in a cameo.

Most of the levels are challenging, but some of them require patience to beat. The only complaint about this game is that it's so short and can be completed in less than three hours. If you're a real Marvel superhero fan, this game is for you but don't expect long gameplay. Better luck in "Spiderman 2." My evaluation: 9 out of 10.

"Spider-Man" for a while was considered the best superhero video game ever made. I still own the Sony Playstation version and have recently begun to play it again on my Playstation 3 after it's been collecting dust for the last six years or so in my basement. This is true video game magic: it not only captures the spirit of the Marvel Comics icon, but it's a damn-fun game to boot, too. A new villain is in town, and it's up to Peter Parker, better known as our red, black, and blue-suited wall-crawler Spider-Man, to stop this new menace before it's too late. It features many prominent characters from the world of Spider-Man as well as the entire Marvel Universe, including Parker's love interest Mary Jane Watson, Dr. Octopus, Black Cat, Venom, Carnage, The Scorpion, hard-nosed Daily Bugle editor J. Jonah Jameson, and Johnny Storm/The Human Torch from the Fantastic Four. Spider-Man comic book co-creator Stan Lee also narrates Our Hero's tale. There are plenty of extras here as well, that make playing it again after you've beaten it well worth it, including extra costumes, a gallery of famous Spider-Man comic book covers, and character profiles. The biggest flaw with "Spider-Man" was its spotty camera system, which could sometimes make it difficult to know where Spidey has to swing to during times of intense action. A good game, despite its flaws.

9/10

I love this game because I just seem to learn something new about how to play each time I pop it in to kill some time. Oh, and swinging from rooftop to rooftop is so much fun, I can't explain why, it's just great. The story is stereotypical comic fodder unfortunately, but it's the game engine that makes the game worthwile, and worth coming back to.
