I have only played the demo, but it is still by far the best spiderman game i have ever played. The 3d levels make the game play incredible

A Great Game

this game truly is the best super hero game ever released but it is not without its flaws

the graphics, based on the thps2 engine are crisp and clean, bright and colourful but are not the best yet seen on the psx and the draw distance is not particularly good.

the gameplay is near perfect at times and at others very frustrating. the camera can seriously inhibit the action at times. near the end of the game where web swinging is essential it is often very hard to judge whether spidey will make the ledge or not and can lead to playing the same sections over and over again. this is only a minor flaw though and does not detract from the fun factor of the game.

unfortunately this fun factor does not last too long as you can finish this game in under 2 hours if you know what you are doing. my first play through took me about 5 hours when i explored everywhere and tried to get everything, the 2nd took about 1 3/4 hours and the 3rd an hour and a half. so its not the longest game in the world then? well yes it is. maybe the game doesnt last all that long but with secret parts opening up everytime you finish the game there is always an incentive to play again. just like tony hawk's there are new costumes unlocked with special powers such as unlimited webbing and invisibility so every time you play the experience is different.

the super powers in the game are used very well, unlike some games where these powers come in 2nd place spidey's webs come in very handy almost all the time. there is no major emphasis on using all of the powers but they are so useful that you will be doing so anyway.

the learning curve of the game is small to none so anyone will be able to pick uip and play the game from scratch. some of the levels are unduly hard and frustrating but the satisfying gameplay means you will keep coming back fror more

the game features many extra parts. in every level there is a comic book to collect, you will miss a lot of these playing through and will want to go back and collect them all. whn you play through you will meet characters and their bio's will be available to read. special modes of play such as the time trial, survival and 'what if' modes are also a lot of fun. especially the 'what if' mode where level design is different and there are a lot of fun touches added to change the gameplay.

the plot of the game is pleasing, the standard take over the world only spidey can save us but with a nice twist. a lot of baddies are implemented instead of just one arch villain over and over like with sonic. you'll fight doctor ocktupus, venom, rhino...to name a few and all boss fights are different and require a strategy instead of just luck. and as for that last level.....

overall this is a great game and a lot of fun but DONT BUY it go out and RENT IT instead

The best superhero game ever made

If your old enough to remember the countless horrible superhero beat-em-ups that were on the Sega Genesis and the Super Nintendo, than this will be a breath of fresh air. You still have to beat up the bad guys, but swinging around in a full 3-D New York City is too good to be true, and the graphics look great even for being on PS1. The storyline is your basic comic book story, nothing new here, but the voice acting is a welcome surprise. The only problem is that Spider-Man is a short game, but there are plenty of secrets to uncover that will keep you coming back, such as finding all of the comic books and getting all the special Spider-costumes. Spider-Man is allready a Playstation classic and if you don't own it allready, you should get it now along with the new sequel, "Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro".

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.

Approved by the game-hating girlfriend. "I love this game."

Firstly,this game is highly entertaining and fun. Though the game has a few drawbacks as mentioned in previous reviews the pro's easily outnumber the bad elements within the game. Sure the game is easy to complete, I had completed the game within four hours, and I'm no seasoned game player, but what you have to remember I was playing on the 'kid' mode. What we have on the game is 4 varied levels of hardness, the easiest being the kid mode. Now this is wicked as it has easier controls arranged with younger kids in mind. You also have 3 various levels of difficulty with more complex controls than found on the kid mode,so given that you have enough interest in replaying the game on a harder level this gives the game a good deal of playtime. Playing as Spiderman is however, great, and the ability to swing and crawl everywhere is amazing, especially as the game has a very comic-book appearance. Usually if I'm playing on the playstation I'll be constantly interupted by a nagging girlfriend, but even she has taken to this game, the first game in 3 years, so this game is highly recommended. Spidey fans or not, this is worth a play.

SWEET AS A CANDY BAR!!

THIS GAME IS A MUST HAVE!! its an awesome game!! THE STORY LINE ROCKS!! except for blackcat being a little inmodest. sweet moves. i say its a little difficult for the beginer. one of my freinds had a little trouble with all the web swinging, but it was'nt that hard for her to figure out the KICK-OFF-THE-BUILDING move. MY BROTHER LOVES IT TOO, AND HE'S THREE YEARS YOUNGER THAN ME!! i'm planning on getting SPIDEY: MOVIE GAME soon.

100 PERCENT FUN!!!!!

A short but fun game

I'm into superhero games and this one was easy to learn. They even give tutorials at the first level. I rented it at first and completed the game in one weekend. While it was easy at the first level, if you want to challege yourself a little bit then try the next level up. They even have kid mode which I have not tried but if level one was easy, imagine what kid mode is like.
When you do complete the games, the true spidey fans will appreciate the extra features to take to your next game such as the symbiote costume.

Finally! A Spiderman game done right!

We've all been waiting 10 years for a decent spiderman game. After dealing with the garbage that was released on the Genesis and Super Nintendo, Neversoft, responsible for the amazing Tony Hawks Pro Skater, stepped up to the box, and makes one of the PSXs best games. The game pits you as Peter Parker or more famously known as Spiderman. You explore the streets of NYC looking for trouble, and it pops up often. You battle all the well known bad guys, from Rhino to Venom to Dr. Octopus, they are all here. The developers have done an AMAZING job of bringing spidey to the console. The use of his Web and Spidey Sense are amazingly put into the game, and the physics are unbeliveable. Add to that, some of the best graphics yet seen on the PlayStation, and you can see why this game is just so good. The music perfectly fits the atmosphere of the game, and times, up and catchy, and at others, dark and suspenseful. You will have to solve puzzels along the way, and encounter all the charcters you know from the tv and comic series. The game is not all action either, many times you will be low on health, and will have to rely on stealth to make your way through the level. All these aspects are pulled into the game to create the best spiderman game ever, and one of the best games period for the PlayStation.

This game rocks

I got this game about a month ago. The first time I played it I found it somewhat simple. I completed the first 7 or so levels in about 3 hours or so. I ended up beating the game the next morning. It took about 8 hours total to get to the last stage and another 2 to beat the last stage, but that is not the beauty of the game. There are many other things to do. I do not play very many Playstation games, so I can't say that it has a lot of cool stuff, but there are about 8 different costumes you can get, each with its own abilities including invisiblity. Plus, there are comics that are hidden throughout the stages that are fun to find. Plus, if you look online for codes, you can find a "What If" mode cheats that changes the game. For instance, a square that makes Spider-man dance and a yellow submarine in the water. This doesn't include several "party games" that help you with your spidey-controls. It is a great game with awesome graphics and cool effects. I would recommend this to comic fans and non-comic fans alike.
