Spider Man the game was great. I bought this guide expecting maps and detailed level walk throughs. This book delivered what I was looking for and included a gallery of random comic covers found in the game. The small flaw was that it didn't include the various cheats and codes needed for the game.

2.0 out of 5 stars How can you need this book?!?
I just don't understand why you would spend an additional... [money] for this strategy guide. Don't get me wrong, Spider-Man is a great game and was well worth my money, but 95 percent of gamers won't feel a need for this unnessesary add-on.

As the previous reviewer mentioned, you get a good walkthrough but no cheats. Why do you need a walkthrough, though? The game is...

Spider Man the game was great. I bought this guide expecting maps and detailed level walk throughs. This book delivered what I was looking for and included a gallery of random comic covers found in the game. The small flaw was that it didn't include the various cheats and codes needed for the game. But if you want them, you could find them on various sites. If you buy, Spider Man, the game, I suggest buying this stragery guide for the information it contains...because sometimes a wall crawler needs help.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cheats, August 25, 2002
By A Customer
Sorry to contradict the last couple of guys, but the book does contain cheat codes. Inside there is a poster. At the bottom of the poster, under the headings, 'Bradygames Acknowledgements', 'Special Spider-man Team', and 'Special Thanks To'there are cheat codes.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This guide, like all others, was complete and very informative of the regular walkthrough and many secrets throughout the game. Easy to understand and really cool page layouts make this guide a 5-Star product in my eyes.

5.0 out of 5 stars so fun and real, October 24, 2003
By 
this game is the best of all time, exspecially if your a true spiderman fan like me. Its like your actually spiderman, the combos are great, the action is intense, and the game is quite friendly, you really get attached, so attached you might dream about how to beat it. if you dont usually do cheats, get some for this game. You can fight like a matrix spiderman, have unlimited webbing, never die, play as green goblin, as mary jane. Trust me just buy this game. It will become part of you. sincerely, spidey fan.

5.0 out of 5 stars Spiderman, November 24, 2002
The Book Spiderman written by Phillip Marcus was an enjoyable, touching, and action filled story. I, myself do not read alot, but this specific book kept me interested. The characters in this book are well written. Through this story line a person can get a good look at a child that was teased and picked on until he was bitten by a radioactive spider. Now this character Peter Parker, known as spiderman, has superhuman, spiderlike powers along with incredible agility and strength. For instance he can stick to vertical walls, jump any height, width, or depth, and climb anything that gets in his way. Along with his powers he falls in love with a damsil in distress waiting for him to rescue her. Mary Jane Watson, a spunky and lovable character, is the perfect match for Spiderman.Throughout the story spiderman's love for her grows, but at the end their relationship takes an intersting turn you do not want to miss. Not only was the book good, it also followed most of the original comic books by Stan Lee and Steve Pitko. I would recomend this book to any student, who is not real interested in books, because it could change their opinion.

2.0 out of 5 stars How can you need this book?!?, February 12, 2001
This review is from: Spider-Man Official Strategy Guide (Paperback)
I just don't understand why you would spend an additional... [money] for this strategy guide. Don't get me wrong, Spider-Man is a great game and was well worth my money, but 95 percent of gamers won't feel a need for this unnessesary add-on.

As the previous reviewer mentioned, you get a good walkthrough but no cheats. Why do you need a walkthrough, though? The game is exquisitely rendered, but it is not a large game. If you are a fast learner or a great gamer, I suspect you could beat this game in a weekend without the help of a guide.

So why don't you need a guide? First off, there is a pretty nice training mode in the game where you can hone your Spidey skills. Secondly, no part of the game is particularly difficult or immense. Finally, you are given a pseudo-tutorial during the few spots you could get stumped. For example, I had a hard time finding Venom in the sewers, but after awhile, you run into Lizard and he tells you which tunnels you should take.

Like I said before, the game is great and I would recommend it to almost anyone. But it isn't a game that requires a guide. You're smart enough to do it yourself!
