This game is great. I recommend it to anyone who likes to play anykind of game. I didn't even know who Spider man was intill i played a demo of the game, then i knew i had to have it. THe game has an Awsome full out 3d inviroment, and you can go through all of it. At some times you are fighting and at atother times you are just webslinging through New York City. I bought the game the first day it came out. And I didn't even know SpiderMan was a comic character intill someone told me. THE GAME RULES get it. It is the best game I have played for my playstation.

Disclosure: Spiderman was my favorite superhero from age 8 until age 12 (before that was Batman; after that was Pete Townshend).

Even if I didn't know anything about Spiderman, I still would have squandered HOURS and HOURS of my beauty rest playing this game. Not only can you do everything a spider can, you can do it without memorizing a list of difficult controls. Here's what makes it great:

* Strict attention to the Marvel aesthetic * Some of the best voice-acting and writing yet seen in a video game * Well-directed cutscenes make ultra-smooth transitions from gameplay to story and back again * Balanced mix of skills--from fighting to fleeing to swinging to puzzle solving * Smart camera work--objects and characters become instantly transparent when they come between you and the action * Great in-game extras include comic covers, character and movie viewer, and more.

A nice little action game

Sure, this is a great (if not the greatest) superhero game. You've heard that already. But have you heard that it plays like a simplified Legacy Of Kain: Soul Reaver? Well it does! At least the boss battles, anyway. Just like Soul Reaver, your enemy has a pattern that he follows that you have to figure out, then you just have to discover his weakness and exploit it. If you haven't played Soul Reaver, this probably sounds like every other game to you, but trust me, it makes boss battles much more interesting than when it's just "whack him on the head 'til he's dead". Certainly a safe bet for action fans, and lots of replay value (as mush as you can ask of an action game) to boot.

Web-slinging Action at its Best...

I have to admit. I'm a huge fan of Spider-Man. For me, he embodies the heart and soul of what a real comic book character should be. The reality that his demeanour is set in and the fact that he's so accessible to anyone out there, truly points to the fact that he is by right the most successful comic creation ever. My first ever comic book was a Spidey one and since then, he struck me as the character to look for in all media.

Recently the character has experienced an upsurge in his fame with a brand new animated series, complete revamp of his comic series (though not successful at first, it's slowly starting to heat up) and the movie that's due out by the summer of 2002. But what better way to bring the character to life and enjoy full control of him than through this amazing game by ACTIVISION.

Let's start things off with the characters. You get to see most of the major baddies and a number of Spidey's supporting cast. All you JJ fans will be pleased. You also get to see different takes on some of them, but you have to play the game to know how. How well do they interact with each other? EXCELLENTLY. Spidey holds true to gis classic wittiness and quick repartee, be it beating up thugs, running from the police and even when mumbling to himself on how things are getting from bad to worst true to the famous Parker luck. One of the funniest one-liners and interactions have got to be with VENOM. He is down-right menacing, sick and laugh-out-loud-wet-your-pants funny. I loved him at times more than Spidey and at times I was rooting that he may actually start eating brains if I lost my fight with him. You never lose the fun factor when he's around. All the other characters hold true to their comic-book personas and you just can't believe your eyes and ears when they walk the walk and talk the talk. JJ fans you really get a bonus seeing this guy in action.

Storyline? This is a perfect, successful rendition of a comic book and animated series put together. The combination works and it works right. Loose ends? Why don't you play it to know wherte those are and what they mean?

Animation? And here's the thing on that. This is an action game like no other I have ever played in my life. The fluidity in which Spidey moves from one place to another is spectacular. You just can't get enough of him jumping from one side to another. He gives you full control of his actions and you just want to explore that even further. His webbing is also cool and can be subjected to different forms. You want to web someone with threads? You got it. You want to spin a web ball that has a stronger impact? Spidey's your guy. You want to huddle in a web coccoon and let you enemies huddle around and then blow them to smithereens coming out of it? He does that too. His web-slinging action is fine and completely true to classic Spidey moves. The only downside of the graphics is the fact that during the video streams, all the characters' hands are in a fist and you can never see them in a more realistic finger-like form. You think with all those other good stuff, you'd be nagging about this? I think not.

This game is excellently produced, animated and rightfully told. Just listening to living legend Stan Lee narrating you through the storyline is enough to make a true believer out of you. You can't go wrong by buying this game. Even if you're not a fan, after the experience you'll get playing this game, you'll wish that you've always been one.

It' s ruining Spider-Man' s good name

It gets Spider-Man all wrong. It' s ruining Spider-Man' s good name.

Graphics: 1/10
Yucky, and the characters look like monsters.

Sound: 1/10
Booooooooooooooooooring

Gameplay: 1/10
Is this a game from Activision and Neversoft? The creators of Tony Hawk' s games? Seems not?

Lifespan: 1/10
Too short

Replay value: 1/10
Not likely.

So, you play it once if you have a thing for boring games, YAY. You finished it in one turn. Now buy Jak II.

I've been a Spiderman fan and a gamer for years. This one brings the two together in a big, big way. Multiple costumes(for those who enjoy a departure from the red & blue), villans abound, and there's plenty of that great Spidey humor. From the rooftops of Manhattan to the subway tunnels below, the action keeps coming. There have been a lot of games out there that have trashed a perfectly good franchise. This one will make you forget them. Graphics, gameplay, and good times. All in a days work, for the amazing spiderman.

Spider-Man in 3D! Alright!!

This is a great game! The plot and storyline are smooth. The only problem I had was trying to catch Venom in that one level. Other than that, it was great! The graphics are superb, the voice acting is really good, the controls are easy to learn, and everything else is just solid! If you are a Spider-Man fan, you MUST get this game! I have to admit, I wasn't really a Spider-Man fan, I actually traded an old game of mine for this. But, after I got it, I was happy I did!

If you love Spider-Man, then get this game.

I waited a long time for a Playstation version of Spider-Man to come out. Sega Genesis was pretty useless once this system came out, so the few Spider-Man games they had were obsolete.This game was rather good, a little short though. The graphics were fairly good and so was the story, but it came short of twists and turns. I knew from the very beginning that the villains behind the symbiote invasion scheme were Dr. Octopus and Carnage. Still, it's a fairly good game. If you're a Spider-Man fan, you won't be dissapointed in getting this game.
