Fun, Light Hearted Spiderman Adventure

Spiderman is a comic book game done right. All of Spiderman's powers are here. You can swing from building to building, crawl upside down on the ceilings and even lift up cars and throw them. The plot is very comic book and the dialogue is often cartoony ( perfect for this type of game ). You can face off against several of Spiderman's best villians including Rhino and Scorpion. There are several bonuses hidden inside the game as well. From finding hidden comic books throughout the game world, to using different costumes for Spiderman. While it may be just another Final Fight type beat em up game, the excitement and novelty of playing Spiderman make this game a winner.

To echo a previous reviewer, I too was psyched about the potential this game had to offer after playing the demo. Anticipation aside however, there are certain game elements that I would have changed. Spidey compass for one...hint: don't follow where it leads exactly if it's not red, could prove fatal otherwise.

The buildings throughout the New York skyline are basically jumping off points and there is an incessant amount of that along with police evasion. There's a point during the process of evading the cops where Spidey is forced to climb up a building while being fired at when he should be able to just zipline to the top since there's an overhang ledge at the roof (but hey who's nitpicking?)

The graphics are quite good in that comic book genre sense but what truly impresses me is Spider-Man's movement. Activision and Neversoft did a fine bit of work bringing ol' Webhead's actions to life and it shows in every wall crawl and web swing. Being able to have a viewpoint through the ceiling to the room below as Spidey crawls above it is simply outstanding! The movement of Webs alone without the clean and near seamless integration of the background would still be stunning but the fact that they could incorporate both ...it's truly an incredible marvel.

Sure there's elements that could be made better but most everything is susceptible to being improved upon. Before anyone goes so far as to condemn this game (and I don't think anyone will) consider all the elements: graphics, motion, gameplay, voices, nostalgia etc. and then come to a conclusion. Simply reducing this game to its most bare elements as a final fight actioner doesn't give Spider-Man the just and worthy credit for the many elements it pulls together so well.

This game (like most standard games nowadays) allows you to continue on at the point you died from. I'd recommend taking a break and not hammering away at it until you make the next level because you can burn out and then the game won't be as fun. However, if you take the time to explore it in detail for what it is not only will you have a greater appreciation of what it represents...you'll have a very enjoyable time with it too.

Best Game Ever

This is by far the best super hero video game ever. My brother and I liked the story as much as the action. The bad guys are great and fight differently. You really get excited. There are plenty of levels of difficulty to play. Kid Mode is very easy with even 5 year olds able to play it. You will like it alot.

The most fun aspect of Spider-Man is the web swinging. The game moves quickly and is quite entertaining. Someone said kids may have a hard time solving the puzzles. My 9 year old nephew finished the game 3 times in a 48 hour period. He's only allowed to play on the PlayStation on weekends, and he'd finished it twice before Sunday. And he'd unlocked most of the easter eggs.
The game isn't much of a challenge, but as I said, it's fun swinging around New York, kicking the crap outta the baddies.

One Of The Best And Fun Games For The PS!!!!!!!!!!!

This game is so awesome!!!!Its great for the fun missions and challenges and you get all of the great powers and abillities that he has on the show to thwart your enemys evil plans.Great classic bosses and there is even a brand new villian that is spawend at the very last mission that is almost unstopable!!My most favorite parts of the game is where Venom(one of spidies worst enemys)always comes out of nowhere and he has to face him like 3 times in the game do to the fact that he is one of the most important characters in this game who helps push the plot forward.The plot and story is great and awesome and it really gets you into the game,I couldent even set down the controler!!But of course....I had beaten it in one day(which was the first day I got it)because sadely it is not that long of a game but guess what!!I just picked up the controller and played it again.The web slinging isint as funn as they say it is but theres a part is the game involving spidie and a police helocopter in a sweet sky scraper chase.The boss in this game that gets on my nerves the most is carnage,I always have trouble beating him.Even though the game is short,the great characters and plot/story makes up for it.Great game,and you can even climb walls and stealthly sneak up on a badie and drop down and knock him out,its great.I cant wait till I get part 2,im sure it wont be as good as the first but it'll be preety awesome.This game is a must have for all of those web-head fans out there.

This is the best Super hero game ever.I am a huge Spiderman fan and I thought all my birthdays came together when this came out. The graphics are outstanding, the character voices flawless and the action is terrific.Some people compained about the camera but I had no problem with it.Spidey has been set up for a major heist and the man behind the plot is spideys longtime foe Doc Ock! However the not so good doctor has a few allies who also want to bring spidey down-namely Mysterio,Rhino,Scorpion and Carnage.Thens theres the insane Venom who has an agenda of his own.A few of Spideys friends pop up throughout the game too including Black Cat,Daredevil and The Punisher.If you have any good taste you should buy this game.

Playstation's BEST Superhero game!

If you can find something better than getting to beat up bad guys as Spider-Man while listening to a crazy rock/techno soundtrack...tell me! This game was so fun I played it non stop for 2 days...hence I ended up beating it. Comic Book nerds will also dig this because they will get to see all the cool Marvel trivia and comic book covers and such. There are also a ton of Marvel hero cameos in this game. Spider-Man has a lot of funny jokes as well. The controls are easy to get into, the levels all offer something interesting and new and the last boos truely was the best part!

Out of all of the superhero games for PS1 this is the best. It is fun and you can come back and play it again to gain the things you missed! Highly recommended!

I got this game for my eighth birthday and I'm still playing it today.I played this game at friend's house and thats what made me a spidey fan.And with villans like Scorpion,Rhino,Venom,Doc Ock,and Carnage it's pretty good game.And when you beat it you get to play as Spider-Man on the alien suit ( the suit Venom wears) its awsome. buy it!
