Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Spider-Man is a third-person action game based on the Marvel comic series. You play as Spider-Man, high-school student Peter Parker, who is bitten by a radioactive spider and granted tremendous powers. In highly detailed environments inspired by the 2002 feature film, Spider-Man must use his spider-sense to sidestep danger, his spider-agility and quick wits to evade pursuit, and his spider-strength to overcome the Green Goblin and other archenemies in his pursuit to rid the world of evil. Climb up the sides of buildings, shoot webs, and swing across the night sky, taking on a legion of sinister villains in a 3-D world. Scorpion, Venom, and Rhino are just some of the notorious bosses you'll encounter in your travels. The city is depending on your every move.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Spider-Man (CD-ROM)

I must say, I was extremely disappointed when I brought this home and fired it up. The graphics are bad, the control setup is awkward at best, the cutscenes look horrible, and, above all, it's SHORT. I beat it in about four or five hours. I admit, it was kind of fun throwing chairs around and shooting webs ('kind of' being the key phrase), but it's nowhere near fun enough to make up for the rest of the game. It's cheap, but I wouldn't even pay five dollars for this. Don't waste your money.

By the way, I'm 17, but I don't have an account so I had to use the kids thing.

Great game but the whole family beat it in a weekend. More levels would get it the five star rating.

4.0 out of 5 stars Revolutionary game, revolutionary character., June 5, 2003

This review is from: Spider-Man (CD-ROM)

I played this game first on a demo-disc for Playstation, and I knew I had to have it. Swinging from webs, tying guys up with webs, punching people with webs, what could be better? From the start I was swinging from buildings and falling to the streets of New York City. Now for the review.
The sound... Was OK. Nothing great. An occasional... no, it doesn't even deserve that much. Play a CD in the background. It will be better than this game's music.
The gameplay was nothing less than revolutionary. This game gave you freedom to roam around NYC, no matter how small the environments were. While it's length was it's downfall, It was great to fight Carnage and Venom along with many other characters.
Graphics. Ok, but who really cares when you can crawl on ceilings and hear guards ask each other "Do you have a smoke?" "Not now man."
