    Compared to Spider-Man 2, this game isn't that great. You don't have as much freedom as you did before and if you were outside, you couldn't even walk on the pavement! If you want to get a good Spider-Man game, pick the second one.

    Compared to Spider-Man 2 this game is horrible. I really should give more credit to the sequel after playing this disaster. The camera and movement controls are so slippery and sensitive its hard not ending up on some wall or ceiling you didn't intend to go to. The tutorial voice actor was obnoxiously annoying (who also kinda sounds like Norm McDonald). The combat system is that greatCompared to Spider-Man 2 this game is horrible.

If you are interested in Spiderman games for PS2 go for the second game much more side missions, civilian rescues, and cool bosses… Expand

    good graphics for ps2 and entertaining story. but the gameplay was much worse compared to its predecessor ps1 games. It is playable but every time Spiderman does a combo with a delay. The way the character moves is pathetic, not very agile, clumsy and not at all precise. all this also accompanied by poor camera control.

    This game is really bad. Camera, Graphics, Swinging, Fighting and ... are really really bad in this game.
    The next Spider-Man game (2004) is much better in every aspect I mentioned above.
    However Spider-Man 2004 is not a very good game; but at least that's playable and entertaining.

    The inside levels feel confined and just lack the excitement of the excellently implemented exterior sections. That said the internal sections are not all that bad, it’s just a case of wishing for something slightly different.

    As much as I enjoyed the aerial combat, its overuse makes the innovative gameplay element a little less exhilarating toward the end. [June 2002, p.96]

    Surprisingly, the game features actual voice actors from the film. Rarely does a game get one, let alone an entire cast of Hollywood personalities supplying voice content for it.
