I bought this game because it had Superman on the front. Big mistake. The graphics are horrible and far too simple for the N64. The gameplay is awkward and hard to control. But the worst part of this game is the story. It took about 2 seconds to think up and the game spends just as much time on the storyline. The whole point is boring- flying through endless hoops and other monotonous unexciting tasks. This game is horrible. Buy Spiderman instead- at least you wont want to throw Spiderman out of the window.
Spider-Man, could it be as good as it sounds?

First, when I heard about Spider-Man ..., I could not wait to get it. Now that I have it, I don't think it is perfect. This game is [terrible] when compared to [other] games .... First, the graphics of Spider-Man was very good (except some levels where you can't see Spider-Man because he is far away from the view)but the sound is below average for N64 standards. The music does a good job for fitting the mood but the quality is bad. N64 has a list of about 190 games with CD-quality sound and a list of 30 games with surround and dolby surround sound. Spider-Man, on the other hand, is very quiet and cannot get much louder. Buy this game if you like a red cartridge and action but don't care about sound quality but rent this game if you are used to games like Perfect Dark. All in all, Spider-Man is a great game but when compared to top N64 games, it is [terrible].
AWESOME GAME?

Spider Man turned out to be more than I had originally suspected, but it didn't live up to the expectations everyone else had set for it. -- Spider Man, if anything noteworthy, allows you to swing from building to building and crawl up walls. Cheers to that! An ingenius idea that's really fun, but the game doesn't give us enough time to enjoy it. What I really wanted to be able to do in Spider Man was swing freely around on top of buildings and beat up unsuspecting thugs. Yes, you can do that... in the first level. All other levels either take place inside cramped living quarters, or are timed races. Hence, this game keeps you on the move and leaves very little time to merely "dink around." Spider Man is also short lived and for little "extra rewards." It'll surely keep you entertained all the way until the end, but I wish there was something more to do once it was over.
Playstation does better what a spider can

This was the 3D Spider-Man game that redefined how to faithfully translate comic books to the video game medium. You play as Peter Parker/Spider-Man, framed for a crime you didn't commit. You'll web-swing through the city, crawl through sewers, bust up secret labs, and take on a host of your most deadly adversaries. While the camera and controls weren't perfect, this was the first time you really felt like you were playing as Spider-Man, instead of some generic platforming character with Spider-Man graphics. The wall crawling looks and feels right, and there are multiple uses for your webbing. It's the game every Spider-Man game since has built from.
The N64 port is pretty accurate to the Playstation original in terms of raw gameplay, but it sacrifices some of the presentation. Notably, the fmv cutscenes have been replaced with slide shows of stills from the fmv, with text dialogue. It still gets the story across pretty well, but loses some of the character that comes from voice acting and animation. Elsewhere you lose the vocals to the spider-man theme from the start screen, and also an extra costume in the unlockables section.
If you only had an N64, this was still a great purchase. But if you had a Playstation, that is definitely the better version to get.
Whats going on?

I don't know what you guys are talking about but I just played this game two days ago and it's a highly enjoyable game. One thing that I like is the simplicity of the controls. I also enjoy the fun and interesting moves you can do with Spiderman. I also enjoy how with the touch of a button that you can web yourself to the roof and crawl unnoticed! To put it short, I truly enjoy this game that Activision has concocted.
