Gameplay is disgraceful. Hard to control the character and plot of the game is just stupid.

bad graphics, a sluggish framerate, a terrible camera, repetative uninspired combat, poor mission variety, and other problems make this a mediocre game.
buy something original like sly cooper instead....
looks good but lacks substance

I had high hopes for this game on the PS2, but they were diminished after spening some time playing it. Sure, it looks really good, and the action is fluid and showcases the power of the PS2. But good looks don't make a good game. After playing for about 20 minutes I was bored with it. Plus the camera can't keep up with Spiderman's moves, and that creates a headache.
Also, Activision, who wrote the script for that obnoxious training mode? The narrator deserves to get tossed from the highest building in the game.
OK but camera & controls ruin the game

I liked the game for the most part but I got so irritated with the controls and the camera angles in the game that i just eventually gave up on it. I was getting into it but I would just get to frustrated. Ex: If you are pushing right to run with a side view and the view changes to behind, you would expect to rotate the control to forward to keep going straight (like in Mario 64) but doing that will cause you to run right until you let go and push forward again. This is majorilly irritating when being ganged up on by multiple people. The camera angle will almost never stay constant even when locked on and you just lose control of everything. I also wish you could be more sneeky and spider-like attacking villians. Once you hit someone, everyone in the area will come running. Also, give the villians a few more things to say or make them talk less. I REALLY wanted to like the game but had to many bugs. The Movie was great but the game needed a little more work
Well...

Spiderman is sooo whimpy in this game. I wonder if the people who made this game know that in the comics Spiderman can bench press TEN TONS!!! You have to beat on a simple crook several times to get him to go down. That is so unlike Spiderman that it's absurd. What's worse, the bad guys often come at you in large groups, making them almost impossible to defeat.
Each level gets progressivly more difficult, and more frustrating. I finally reached one level that had tons of traps and robots...I can't get any farther. That was the first day I had the game. I would strongly suggest renting this one instead of buying it if you must try it.
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.
Spider-Man is Bad
