This game is one of the most fun marvel comics game ever... period. It has tons of action, attacks, and detail. The Spider-Man game has beautiful 3D environments and people. The Gameplay is a lot better than the original Spider-Man game on the PS One. The coolest thing about this game is that there are so many secrets to open... (I won't give away any...) The arial combat between the Green Goblin and the Vulture are simply breathetaking. Bottom line, it is a very excellent game, yeah sure the loading might take awhile but I think it is a very good game
a fantastic seris

I have grown more fascinated with this since the movies came out and they made himn stronger. His webs I belive might have been that srong in the original comic but his pyshical body stregth of his actually body was that of normal man not that of super man. Here are some straties for this and other spider man game.
I will first start with the arcade game. Played with black cat for the first fight with venom combine kicks punches with throws to reduce resitanmce to damage venom when he is normal size before enlarge to 3/10 the size orf mr staypuuff. He has a weak resitance of only aabout 12% meaning twelve blows will him if you used throw punches and kickes. Only used kicks and pucnhes and the fight will take twice to four times as long and his restiance will be 15 t 80% and only take away half as much percentage wise per hit. Try to limited the elimn8ulator use that actually increase the number of times you have to continue depending on how often you use it I think this guy or did it starting around the second before the lizard battle. You do fight scorpion before venom but he is just an annoyed diversion after a few hit the main fight with venom will commence. You will have your nex fight with the enlarged venom. If you use a special movie and hit hit with this giant wipe like graphic hook like weapon he has 25% resistance mean four hits will defeat him untiul you climb up another couple of stories and the scond battle with this nastier venom will begin. Venon is slight stronger this time only take 16.6% damge with the use of this item so you have to hit him one more time than the previous fight. For the third fight his resitance is strongest at 11% take a 11 hits or only 9.09% damage per hit to bet. After you defeat him this t6ime the stone will come out of him and he will go back done to his original size. Fight venom one more time at normal size if you combine pucnhes kick and throw you can over come his 12% resitacne when these are combined with throws it doubles again hit him with about 4 hits pucnhes and throws causing 8.3% damge per each on he does not dodge and it is the end of the first stage of the game. For the scorpion bose fight alternmate between kick punches and throw attacks to cut his resitance to damage down from about 15% 80 maybe higher down to a mere 12% resitance. Deliver a combinatyionf a baout 9 punches on Doctor octupus or Doc Ock and he will go down. For the next boss the sand man score about 17 to 18 punches or kick on him and he goes down you cfan maybe cut his damage ristance down by about half if you alternate attacks for normal punched and kick to throw attacks freuqently enough. Next you must fight two boss fight back to back the hobo goblin who will go down with about 11 hits if you the rit combinations and the after him the kingpin a villian from the cartoon series that never appaeared in the actual movies. About combination of eigteen blow with and occasional throw will take this big guy down. For the next fight you are into they ftying pan you must refight the llizard in a cave literall 75% of the screen on the ground is engulfed in flames. A combinatioon of 16 normal movies and 1 to 2 throw attack will take him down. To cut the blow down try to do more throws throw the weaker minions at the lizard it might have the same effected as you throw him your self. Now comes one of the longest fights in tghe game the boss battle against the other goblin the infamous green goblin. This boss has three health bars you can take him down with only ninteen hits if you use and emulator but yo take damage ten times more easily and faster in this battle so I don't recommend using and inhumilator on this or other games in this series unless you have invulerability one or something like that. I will send the remain boss data later sometime inbetween 7:00 and 9:00 PM this evening I will ao be doing the ultimate spider man the newest game when the man bad guy is venom on this same review because the speed run is massive for ultimate spider borke up into at least 6 parts maybe more. This is the second segment of ultimate spider man. Next you have your first train boss battle with venom against wolverine he has a high defense status of about 35% damage resitance so attack him with your wip arm like attack from a distance to reduce damage if play with oun infinite health or invulerability cheats on. 35 hits with this move which does and wimp 2.8% damage of the max 100% this train boss is capable of enduring each time it is performed correctly try to do a strong move like a throw to speed this up if you get impatient our you find you are taking to much damage. I will send the remain boss status for this second segment later today.
It's fun but...

It's a fun game don't get me wrong but it's familar of the 2000 release of the Playstation. The graphics look great but the web-slinging could've been better and some more exploring like Spider-Man 2. But there is a lot of action and the voiceovers are pretty good. If you have a chance pick up Spider-Man 2 or Ultimate Spider-Man but this game is still pretty good.
not very good...

right off the bat, you see the main problem is the crappy controls. also the fighting feels like some cheap double dragon rip-off. i didn't get very far in this, because there are just so many better options out there.

This game was super awesome, but the game was too easy. The only thing missing was another level. It could have used another level. Finding those combos are hard. For those who are reading, here's a chaeat that enables all levels: ARACHNID Cool, huh? I give it an 8.4. But really, it requires skill and strong focus, but seriously, it could have used another level.

Spiderman is a really great game. I've had it along time 1 and a half years. Its really fun to play, but your webbing doesn't touch buildings. It puts you right in the movie you first find Uncle Bens killer then you battle Spidy's old comic book villans,then the Green Goblin. Also when you beat the game on Super Hero you get a few cool things in the Secret Store. Over all its a great game and worth the money.
An Excellent Game For Comic Fans

This game is the best I`ve ever played.It fetures Spider-Man, from the new movie.It allows you to web-swing through a 3-D enviorment,with a giant number of criminals. It has great graphics and the gameplay is the best.You have to save New York City from 4 supervillians:Shocker,Vulture,Scorpion and of course the Green Goblin.It doesn`t have as many villians and web- swinging as the orginal games, Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2.More sneaking around.But it still is great,since you get to play in Aerial Combat,instead of fighting the regular ground battles with the Sandman and Hammerhead.It`s great for all Spidey lovers.
Best game for PS2 yet!

Spider-man, the movie of the year, but not quite the game. I personally own spider-man. When I first got it i thought it was going to be an awsome action packed adventurous game. in some ways I was right. If you're looking for a fun, difficult one player game buy spiderman.
Pros:
Fun
Gaameplay and Graphics are great
easy to learn
cons:
Hard to beat
