It starts off well, if you can get past the poor graphics. They have dull feel and Spawn is much to blocky. The game mechanics itself, is also a bit cheap. The Special Manuvers are a little too complicated to be any fun at all(If your able to pull them off that is). The scenery is bland and boring as well. it should have been better. Better music, better gameplay and better graphics.

The good thing about the game is the story behind it. And how you have to fight your way from Earth into Hell to do final battle with Maelbolgia. Plenty of enemies to make sure your going isn't easy is even further given heart with the "Bosses" you have to face such as Overtkill, Redeemer and others. If you can get past the bad, you may find SOMETHING of value.

Hey, I'm here to set a few things straight. Ok, Spawn: The Eternal is not and never will be Metal Gear Solid or Resident Evil. But what it is, is an in depth game with a vivid story line about a mans journey through death and the fight to redeem his soul. Now maybe the graphics are poor compared to modern games and this seems to be what everyone who has ever reviewed this games bigest mistake... Comparing it to Dreamcast, PS2, or even later PSX games. This game was made in early 1997 and sold decently but was forgotten and its just bareley been getting reviews due to its re-release on the Dreamcast system.

So if you want a game with the most perfect tight graphics and the fastest and most responsive controls look elsewhere. But if you want a game with an envoloping storyline and and plus the multi-million dollar franchise character, Spawn, then this is the right game for you. I dont promise you will love this game but i can promise you will keep playing just to see what happens next.

I remember that this was the first game I bought with my PS1 along with FFVII back in 1997. The graphics in this game, from what I remember, were horrible. Really bad controls, stupid storyline, and the enemies were stupid. Then, all of a sudden when you confront and enemy, you go into street figther style of fighting. WTF?! If you are thinking of buying this game because it's SPAWN, please don't. This game, like the movie, does not do justice to the comic series nor the animated series.

I wouldn't sugest this game to the un-initiated of Todd McFarlane's Spawn... Only play this game if you have an appreciation of the 100+ run of Spawn Comix or the many comic spin-offs, the HBO animated series, or posibly the Movie which features John Ligazammo and Martin Sheen... this is a game more for the collector/ appreciator of Mr TM's art... and a true collector won't be satisfied w/o a copy of the limited first pressing of the foil cover... This game is more for a person who likes the novelty of being able to act in the various roles of the Spawn Mythos... for greater action and gaming play the newer DREAM CAST Spawn game; which i'm hoping makes it to the PC or the PS2... I may have to buy a DC system from a pawn shop just to beat that game... this game is best played late at night as a cure for insomnia and a sometime dark view of the 'American dream'...

I love the Comics of spawn and I love the animated series but This Game BITES!

The controls are clunky...The graphics I can't really argue about since it came out awhile ago. And this game doesn't really have a story.. You just fight and keep going on to your next destination.

Spawn the Eternal is a waste of time.

I gave it 2 stars cause Spanws in it and that I enjoyed one boss battle...

Don't get this game....If you wanna good spawn game get
Spawn:In the Demons hand

Thats all I can say for you.

Later

Spawn: The Eternal is a definite description of wasted potential. Before this game came out it looked very promising, but when the long delayed game came out, Spawn fans were rather disappointed. The graphics are very blocky, not to mention Spawn looks like an overgrown ape. The controls are plain old unresponsive, and overall the game feels rushed and unfinished. However, there are some pros, the game has an eerie atmosphere, and the sound is great as well, but the fighting engine when you face off against enemies seems like a joke no one is laughing at. The levels in the Tomb Raider-esque parts of the game look too similar to one another, and once you beat the game you'll never want to play it again, not to mention the ending doesn't solve anything. All in all, hardcore fans of Spawn (like myself) may find a bit of fun in this, but others should steer clear.

Spawn is a good movie.But I can't said the same with the game.I'm not telling you not to buy it but the real thing is that is a poor game.It's graphics are under the graphics of games like:Army Men Sarge's Heroes,or Shadow Man,or Spiderman 1.I dont recomend you to buy it really but well is all your decision.THANK'S FOR READ MY REVIEW.
Please tell if my review was important for your decision.
