This is a pc game for children. My children (age 5 and 6) enjoy playing it. They understand the controls and have fun with it.

If you were dumb enough to think this was the Spiderman 2 PC game, apperently you didn't read the words ACTIVITY CENTER right on the packaging!

Spiderman 2 for the PC is without a doubt one of the most misleading and ridiculously simplified games of the year. It is more difficult to put into words my frustration with this game without using profanities then it is to finish the title. The pitfalls of this game are numerous and quite damaging; enough to make you quickly return it to whence you bought it.

The most important aspect about this game to note is that IT IS NOT THE SAME AS THE CONSOLE VERSION. If you scan the box closely you will notice that this game has been given the ESRB rating of 'E', and is geared towards children of the ages eight and up. If you were taken by the similar box art and title, you may have noticed upon installing it that the controls are horrendously simplified and the gameplay is lackluster at best. The crosshair is a spider icon that, when readying an action, will display what you are attempting to do - whether it be 'zipping' from buildings or 'swinging' from the preset swing icons next to buildings. It is a game for children, and it does not try to hide it. The voice acting is terrible and the story is extremely linear and choppy, jumping from each boss to the next without much explaination.

Since I must keep this short, I'll conclude by adding that Activision should be ashamed for putting this kind of 'bait and switch' title on the market.

First off, don't buy this. Spiderman 2 Activity Center isnt the spiderman 2 PC game. The Spiderman 2 PC game doesnt even appear to be listed on Amazon. Also if you are looking for the Spiderman 2 PC game don't buy it its by a different company than the company putting out the consol Spiderman 2 game. The PC game really isnt worth your money.
