Spider-Man: The Movie allows fans to play as Spider-Man in several highly detailed 3-D environments inspired by the Columbia Pictures/Marvel Entertainment live-action feature film (due for release in May of 2002). This full-roaming action-adventure game allows players to jump into the suit of a fledgling Marvel superhero and learn how to battle the forces of evil. Players crawl, leap, and swing from the dizzying heights of skyscrapers to catch criminals and supervillains, and, ultimately, come face-to-face with the Green Goblin in a death-defying display of aerial combat. During the course of the game, players must use Spider-Man's spider sense, agility, quick wits, and strength to evade the pursuit of the bad guys and overcome obstacles.

...I in fact have read many articles and watched many movies and I know this game is gonna be a total hit, it has many aerial combos,includin kicks,punches,the many uses of web,backflips and a whole lot more.Web swinging will be a whole different story from the past spidey games since you will be able to roam the cities much more freely. The game will focus on the movie but will have also added bosses like Shocker,The Scoprion and more. So hold on to your spidey web guys cause its gonna be a very cool game.
i have played the game and ill tell u why its the best

I have played the game b/c my uncle worked on the spider-man movie game.it is a very soilld game,you could drop in the air and then land on the streets of new york and a crowd would come over and if they dont like u they would punch you.the webing attckes are the the same in spider man for ps1.the detail in the models are spectacular.the camara is much smarter now even if u are in a little space it would follow.Dont worry about if it would spoil the movie for you the only thing that is from the movie is when u battle green goblin.there is a lot of puzzles and your spidy compase u have to use these time!you always use ur spider-sense.the hardest battle is with green goblin.if u want to know to know more im my screen name is dr evil9280957

This game is rad. It builds on the older Spiderman game, however it adds huge levels with no fog, awesome textures and reflection, interactive scenery, and a slight touch of reality. This game also has an awesome camera system with target locking (much like the n64's Zelda games). And hey... the air battles are awesome... very very original. This is a great game that should probably entertain a lot of mature gamers.
good game

follows spidey story line well, fight goblin, scorpion, shocker, vulture, and a big ol' robot. See his life progress, many more techniques than the original spidey game with sweet combos. And no, you can't drop to the ground while your swingin round the city. Kinda short but with 4 dificulty levels your sure to play for awhile. Also with a narration by Bruce Campbell for the first 2 levels. He alco guids you through a funny training. Good bonuses and awesome airial fights, has great replay value and the cinematic seuences give great graphics that look exactly like tobey Mcguire's(Peter Parker) face. Grades:(out of 5) Gameplay:4.5 (controls are fairly simple and swift movements) Graphics:4 (really sweet) Replay value: 4 (swingin and airial combat is so fun!) Overall: 4 (awesome game!)
Very fun!!

I just bought this game a few days ago and so far am having a great time playing it. Since I am such a big fan of Spider-Man I am a little biased but this doesn't change the fact that this game is plain fun. This is the closest thing you will ever get to being Spider-Man.
Difficulty: Can be challenging but practice makes perfect.
Graphics: Awesome. Looking through buildings as Spidey crawls on the walls is great, a little disorienting at times but you get used to it. Spidey looks way cool and his movements are perfect. Framerates are great.
Gameplay: Levels are pretty straight forward with lots of information given along the way about your next objectives. You have to master control of Spidey's moves to excel at each level, but even my six year-old can play this game. Power-ups are also given which is helpful. You might notice some controller problems like how Spidey keeps moving after you let go of the control stick, or Spidey's directional control can be frustrating, but you can overcome these minor problems with some practice and patience.
Sound: Voice overs are great. Narrations done by Bruce Campbell! Lots of funny comments throughout the game. Glad to hear the actual movie's star lent his voice to the main character. They included surround sound in the options(shouldn't every game have this?). Music is cool, very exciting.
Overall I say this is a great game and has pretty good replay value. I love it for the Spidey Value. ...
A great way to feel how nautious Spidey must get!

Spider-Man is perhaps one of the greatest super heroes of all time. In the traditional Marvel manner the character is deep a very good comedian too. Spidey's tounge-in-cheek humor is very well represented here, albiet by voice acting that is a little on the bland and dry side which has me worried becuase I hear that Toby McGuire (the actor playing him in the movie) provided the voice for the game. Although Bruce Campbell's narratives are great the voice overs for this game could have been a lot more energetic. I've always envisioned Spider-Man as a fast and energetic talker, and although Spidey's humor is more than present (the game is very funny) the lack of energy behind the dialogue is disapointing. The story for this game is a bit vague and choppy, but I supose that is because this game is beating the movie it's based on to the market and so they don't want to spoil the film, at least that's what I'm hoping for. If the movie is this choppy I'll be sorely dissapointed. Game play wise it plays a lot like the previous Spider-Man games, and it is probably one of the best beat-'em-ups in existance, but there are parts that are very very hard. Especially the time bomb chase down where if the bombs don't get you, the hunter robots will. Aside for that the game is very well paced, and will actually get your heart racing in some places. I have not played a game with such intense action in a very long time. Despite the dry voice acting (Please please, please do a better job in the movie Toby, I'm begging you!) and the lackluster story line the game is still very funny, and intense and a definate worthy addition to anyones game library.

I rented this game last night and started playing it. my mom walked by my room and asked what movie i was watching because the graphics are awsome. The videos in the game have the best graphics of any game that i have played on nintendo gamecube. The costumes and special effects for each character( including spider-man, green goblin, scropian, shocker, and the vulture) are off the hook and it is amazing how much 3d effects could fit in a 3 inch disk. I'd reccomend buying this game because it has an awsome storyline and the graphics are cool.
