Great Game

---YOU SHOULD BUY IT---
This is a great game. It is very challenging and entertaining. For those of you buying this game for your children, although the game is suitable for ages 6 and up, it is very challenging, and will be very frustrating for most people under the age of 10. The non-main characters in the game do not look at all similar to those in the movie, but the main characters are beautifully rendered. As the spiderman movie was no jackie-chan movie, the game would be pretty short if it only followed the plot because there were not all that many different action scenes in the movie. To make the game suitably long, they created elements not in the movie, such as 'the shocker' or 'the raven'. The lame villan names, however, suggest that these sub-plots were issues in the comic book, which I have not read, so they may not be completely unrelated.
The In-game cheats are interesting, especially the bowling minigame. It's much more entertaining than it would appear.

The game has a very easy learning curve, thanks to the multiple interactive tutorials and training missions, all hosted by a comical voice guide. "...so that you don't fall, and [stunk], and die..."

Great Game!

This is a great game. Like others who have reviewed it before, I'll echo that you can do anything that Spidey can do. This means there is a long learning curve, but its a FUN learning curve! I stay in the first scenario (thugs on roof tops) and do a lot of experimenting. When you play into later levels you learn tricks that you can take BACK to earlier levels. For example, when you get past the first boss (Uncle Ben's killer) the next level is actually a tutorial level showing you that you can shoot web bombs while in the air. I now use this in the first level, which results in perfect scores a lot since I'm nowhere near them.

My only complaints are the camera motion IS sometimes difficult to work with, especially in corners. I often find myself travelling the opposite direction I thought I would travel. The other minor complaint is with the instruction manual. It needs to be more detailed. For example, it needs to say what aspects go into scoring for "Combat Style". I have played a perfect level with a 0 combat style, and I've gotten a 1000 (perfect) score on combat style while fighting a level where I take damage (imperfect). So I don't know what the difference was.

It is a good thing that a lot needs to be discovered (i.e., not in manual), but certain details which should have been explained were left out. Another example is the ability to web-throw-a-bad-guy in a direction. Now I've done it, but I have no idea what I did to cause the bad guy to be thrown left or right instead of just pulled directly towrds me. And I still don't know. (On a 'light' note, one of my favorite manuavers is to pull a bad guy off the roof letting him fall to his death. One can also fight with a bad guy near an edge causing both of you falling off, but YOU can cast a web and recover, HE keeps falling!).

Finally, a cool tip. One of the coolest things in the movie is the "Organic Webbing" spidey had instead of the comic book invention. Well, in Cheats use "ORGANICWEBBING" to get unlimited web fluid! This makes you really feel cool since you can do all web tricks without thinking about web fluid cost (on other hand some fights are now very easy by using the web dome).

Love the game! later.... :)

GOOD BUT SHORT

This game is really cool. It is packed with action and fighting. You have to fight Uncle Ben's Killer, Shocker, Vulture, Green Goblin, and Kraven. Plus the hundreds of guys you have to fight on the way to the boss. The game would be a five star but it is to short. If it had Venom, Rhino, Charnage, and other guys then it would be a five star game. All in all this is a great game but I wouln't buy it just rent it and you'll beet it with in that time.

It's fun for a while

Then it gets too hard and very frustrating. I'm not a spider. I can't seem to find a way to crawl all the way to the top of the Vulture's "home." The controls are solid. The combos are pretty cool. The game seems big enough. It's challenging and fun at times. I can only play the same level about a thousand times before I get too frustrated to continue. I've got upwards of 30 games and this one is smack dab in the middle. If you're a big Spidey fan like me, get it. Just don't be surprised if it gets too hard.

Harder than I Thought...

Thanks god I got this game from a friend of mine, I borrowed the game from him, and the game was good yeah, but very, very hard! (And no, Im not really into Spiderman..)

The Graphics 8/10: are very detailed and smooth, specially in the outdoor levels, the lightning effect of the game arent that perfect. The characters here are well detailed as well as Peter Parker, with the exception of Mary Jane, she just doesnt look like Kirsten Dunst. The cutscene are very well implemented, it looks like a real movie :P (yeah and I mean it) my only complaint about it is that there werent any english subtitles..

The outdoor levels are sooo great and they can be repetitive, it looks exactly like NY, and sometimes you can see the Ubisoft logo on one of the big buildings, awesomee! and abuout the indoor levels, they arent that special, good, but not special.

Sound 7/10 Music 5/10: About the music...? Well.. theres nothing special on it, but yeah, they are cool, once you play level two and three they will get very repetitive, thank god they have a long lenght. The reason I gave it a 7 star rating was because Tobey Mcguire did the voice for the game (I Dont really know if Kirsten Dunst did hers). But when you are fighting a foe, or something the lines will get very very repetitive specially spidey's (Some of them are stupid anyway..).

Gameplay/Controls 6/10: The camera angles and the save system arent very good, cause sometimes you wont be able to see the enemies cause this stupid camera will get stuck and you wont be able to rotate it, the save system is a pain (similar to Buffy The Vampire Slayer) there is no checkpoints after all! If you die at the end of the level, you will have to restart the level again! and is not good in the last levels cause you need to avoid these white robots which is not easy.. Spiderman has some nice combos to pull off.. (they are located like some sort of secrets) however it wont be easy to do this cause the buttons layaout arent that good, they are chunky if you know what I mean, you press the punch button and 4 seconds later you see spiderman punching, is lacking response.. The Difficulty in this game is sooo hard and I started this game on normal, and I found it veryyy hard and frustrating, specially when you are fighting this green big bird, he is throwing bombs at you, and since your bar is too well damned low (an overexageration of the game developers..) you will die instantly!

If you are a fan of the movie take this game, however.. if you are not, avoid it, since is lacking a good control responsive and is lacking some other things mentioned above.

Excellent SuperHero Game

WOW!! This game is AMAZING. The feeling of swinging through Metropolis is incredible. The gameplay, effects, and lighting are excellent. Playing this game on a 32 inch Sony Vega with Component Monster Cables, is a Dream. It did take a few hours of training to get the skills down, however this is a blast in itself. Once you feel you are ready to be Spidey, play SuperHero Mode and this game will keep even the most avid gamer challenged. The colors and lighting effects alone will have you just hanging out on a building gazing at the landscape. Being a fan of Comic Books, it's a treat to finally have them come to life in true form. BUY THIS GAME.

If spidey himself played it, he would be disoriented

This game is visually breathtaking, has the feeling and edge of Spider-Man, and makes sense based on its progression. Yet it stinks. The controls are awful. It is simply impossible to adapt to the feeling of this game without investing a great deal of time and frustration. And it simply isn't worth it.

Spiderman better run 'cause he stinks!

Did a blind man design the camera system? You can't see who is attacking you! You're getting your butt handed to you becuase you are encircled by a gang and are helpless to do anything about it? W T F????
This game COULD have been awesome, THANK GOD they got it right with spiderman 2. It's a shame because the graphics are good, but the controls are AWFUL. Avoid this like the plauge, spend the extra bucks and get the second spierman movie game....it's a world apart becuase that game is actaully good while THIS ONE SUCKS

I own the game sold in stores as of today April 17th

If you dont beleave me i'll upload a pic of me playing it or whatever.

First off the game does take some skill to play... as for the camera modes.... leave it alone... there are only 2 modes to pick from and trust me the active mode is more useful than the passive mode which tends to get annoying more so than the active mode. If i wasnt such a good fan of spiderman i would rank the game a 2 in fun, 3 in strategy, but its not really worth [$$$] that you pay in stores or online. If your a fan buy the game... if your not i suggest halo or Rally sport challenge etc etc etc....

Now for the cheaters.... yes there is a cheats entry option in the game. As well as a Training section on how to be a web slinger(a guy that talks to you like your a idiot in the background).

Movie Clips are awesome ;) if it wasnt for those i would have taken it back already.

...

P.S. IT IS BUGGY! When fighting green goblin if you knock him off his glider sometimes it freezes the game.... no worries it only does this once in a blue moon but it just so happened to do that the first 3 times i played the game :(

laters.
