Spider-Man

The game is not that much different from the original playstation version. The graphics and the sound are better but the gameplay is virtually the same. I was disappointed in the odd camera angles that would sometimes make gameplay frustrating. Also, the game was too short. I realize that this isn't a "final fantasy" or "resident evil" type of game, but please, give me something that's worth my fifty bucks.

I have to say I enjoyed the game very much, and would have given it an 8 were it not for two very annoying flaws. The first is that the positions taken by the "camera" were often appalling. Sure you can manually move the view point around, but in the heat of the moment when surrounded by baddies, you simply don't have the time. I found some parts of the game extremely frustrating because of this. The second is that the loading times are excessive, and in my view occasionally unnecessary. Ok, you expect to have to wait for a new level to load, but when you die you have to wait for the current level to re-load.

I think both these flaws are a result of sloppy programming, or maybe the game just needed to spend more time in development instead of rushing a release to coincide with the film. It's a shame, because I very much enjoyed the variety in the gameplay, and the degree of control that, with practise, you can exercise over Spidey. Overall, then, I give it a 6.

This game is great. Not only do Tobey Maguire and Willem Dafoe lend their voices, but the animation is amazing, the scenery of New York City is so cool, and there is lots of cool extras on the game too. It's also kid-friendly.

I recommend this game to everyone!

Spider-Man the video game is one of my favorite games when I was a child. Playing it non stop. I revised the game this year and it was as enjoyable as it was years ago. The only thing I have a little problem with while revisiting the game is that the game play feels short. It's a game for a fan of the Raimi trilogy or a Spider-Man fan in general.

There's no open world city to explore, which is hard to get over for those who're more used to the follow up. It's got decent gameplay, good combat, graphics have aged surprisingly well, and overall is pretty decent. It's just hard to go back and play this when you've been spoiled by some of the later Spider-Man games, especially the PS4 iteration.
