Take to the skies as Spider-Man and enter the Spidey Frenzy!

I cannot describe how much anticipation this game has got, but whatever enormous amount it had, it deserved every bit of it. I am considering it the greatest thing to come along since Halo, and we all know how cool Halo was to watch and play. Spidey on Xbox is the ultimate edition with no question except the Gamecube
can somewhat compare, but the Xbox has 2 exclusive levels with Kraven, so go figure. The story-line is awesome, Tobey and Willem's characters look just like them, and they also provide the voices as well. Spider-Man looks cool and so does the Goblin. The controls are easy and very compatible to just pick up and play, and the environments are gorgeous. Swinging along you may here a citizen down below give you the super hero treatment in the form of "Hey it's Spider-Man" or "Look at him,dad!", and Spidey always has a response of course with humor to match. Spidey moves like he does in comics, and has some nifty combos. This is the definitive version, and the best super-hero game and the one to get for any system, oh yeah, pick up the guide too!

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!

This game is the best game I've played on the X-Box since "HALO".
Play as Spider Man in HUGE interactive stages. Swing through skyscrapers in different acrobatic styles! It's GREAT FUN!!

I love the fact that every Spider-Man ability I could ever want has been included in this game. You get the sense that you're operating through a standard third person adventure game, but you get the benefits that come with spider-related powers. The outdoor segments are outstanding and gave me the chance to do somethings that I've always wanted to do in a videogame. You can watch Spider-Man in the movie and read about him in books, but Treyarch has delivered the only way to control Spider-Man and have him do everything you know he's capable of...and they made it look good.

Even with all of this though, the challenges you'll face as Spider-Man are no match for all of those wonderful spider powers you have. The game just comes down to a matter of persistence and patience because you get so good, so soon. Sure in the comic books, the hero always wins eventually, but even Spider-Man had to suffer through some overwhelming adversity on the way to a few of those victories.

I'm not a big fan of games that force you to manipulate the camera as much as you have to manipulate the character. It's good in that you're given complete control of the camera so you can make it work to your advantage, but it's more fun to just control Spider-Man.

Spider-Man is easily one of the top superhero videogames of all time and it's taken full advantage of the videogame technology out there. There's nothing like it on the Xbox and so it should be worth a few hours of your gaming life.

I have not played the game yet but on ign's website it said that the Xbox version has better lighting effects and textures than the PS2 one and slightly better graphics than the Gamecube version, also the Xbox version is the only one to have 2 bonus levels with Kraven the Hunter. They also said said that this version has the steadiest framerate of the 3, so if you have more than 1 next-gen system it sounds like the Xbox version is the one to buy.

What a waste of hype!

Well, I bought Spider-man: The Movie for X-box. I saw some previews in magazines and thought it looked pretty good. On the contrary, it withheld the long running chain of awful movie based games that are obviously just the company's excuse to score some cash off a big name. The camera angles are so annoying, it makes you want to throw up. There are glitches everywhere, like the fact that bosses get caught jumping of ledges and float in mid air while twitching spazmatically. The plot is so ugly, it feels like you are doing these missions for no apparent reason. Also, spider-man uses the same catch phrases over and over. It doesn't help that they're not funny, either. It's so short I beat it in one night, despite its tedious level design and boss fights. Overall, I'll give this game 2 stars because it has spider-man in it. Otherwise, it's the worst X-box game I've seen yet.

Pretty Good

I do not own this game, but I rented it and it was very fun. I do not advise you to buy it because it is fairly easy, although there are multiple difficulty levels, it gets boring to play the same levels over and over again. When I rented it and played it on easy, I could beat most of the levels on my first or second try and I am not one of those people that beats most games in less than a week. This game has great graphics and good controls, but it just gets old. My advice is to rent it, and if you don't beat it right away maybe buy a used copy, but I don't think its worth 50 bucks.

This a challenging game but maybe not for a young child. There's alot of levels and I'm 9 and it was hard. Even though this an E rated game, it's kinda violent. This game has old and new scoundrels I would reccomend this game.

Never sell This Game

Seriously, this is one of those games you just don't sell because it's so engrossing. You will go to bed dreaming Spider-Man. I totally recommend this game. Everything about it hits the mark and you can unlock Peter Parker, Wrestler Spider-Man (his first costume), Mary Jane (pretty fun seeing her rescue herself with Spidey's voice. Spidey in drag!), or Harry Osborne. Plus Bruce Campbell trains you. Totally worth your dollar.

Great Game

I loved this game. I have played levels over and over again. It is really fun. I don't think it's all that hard. Okay so the big machine in Oscorp and hiding from the Oscorp is a little challeging, but overall it is fairly easy. I recomend this game to people who love to go across the city via web and to anyone who liked the movie.

Spiderman, in all his glory.

This game does a great job of immersing you in the world of Spiderman. ALL of his abilities are represented in the game, and you'll be able to use them all seamlessly in only a couple minutes of play. The graphics are pretty good, and the combat system is great.

However, your constantly fighting against the camera in this game. I usually just kept the right thumbstick pressed down to keep the camera behind me. Keep in mind, though, this only is a problem in the indoor levels - the outdoor levels simply rock in all departments, including camera.

If you still haven't seen the movie, don't worry, this game doesn't reveal much other then the basic storyline. I played this game before watching the movie, and throughly enjoyed both.
