    If you have an X-Box, this is the game to beat for playability and entertainment.

    Very fun, though still plays a lot like the first Spiderman game I played on PlayStation (which isn't a bad thing, but hoped for a somewhat different experience).

    Fun for the short amount of time it lasts.

    It can be hugely exciting and fun when you are outside flying through the city. However the inside levels feel confined and just lack the excitement of the excellently implemented exterior sections.

    The game is missing a dose of innovation that could've helped it become stunning. [July 2002, p.77]

    The best looking has to be the Xbox version. Compared to the others, Spidey's world is very sharp, clean and crystal clear. Colors are very vibrant and while the textures aren't very detailed, they work just fine.

    TreyArch has excelled itself, not just failing to get [the camera] right, but setting mind-blowing new standards in incomprehensibility. [Edge]

    This was actually the second Spider-Man game I ever played (I first got Spider-Man 2 the game). It is the tie-in to the movie of the same nameThis was actually the second Spider-Man game I ever played (I first got Spider-Man 2 the game). It is the tie-in to the movie of the same name featuring Spider-Man and the Green Goblin. It's pretty fun, it has a good cast of supervillains you encounter like the aforementioned Green Goblin, Shocker, Scorpion, Vulture, and Kraven the Hunter. The webslinging between skyscrapers, though fun, could use some work in the mechanics, it's a little too simplistic. That's improved on greatly in the next game in the series. We see Spider-Man's origin story in this game, as you get to track down Uncle Ben's killer, Peter pursues Mary Jane Watson in the backdrop of the game, and you encounter the Green Goblin. A strong start to the Spider-Man game series, though limited partly due to the fact that it's older.… Expand

The graphics, gameplay, story, and the action areI bought this game when I was very young and still remains one of my favorite games. The graphics, gameplay, story, and the action are wonderful. If you have not played this game before, the game doesn't follow the movie completely. I am okay with Movie License games not following the movie completely, but most find a way to screw up the game. Spider Man the Game is not like that. The game does take some elements from the movie, however it adds some fun entertaining levels. Some of Spider Man's villains from the comics make an appearance like Shocker, Vulture, Kraven the Hunter, Scorpion, and the main antagonist of the game, Green Goblin. The controls are very easy, the game gives you help on what your suppose to do, and it is just fun to play the game. The game does have many positive sides, the game also has a couple of negatives. The camera at certain points can be very "Wonky", the boss battles can be extremely difficult, and the campaign is really short. Even though there is negatives, Spider Man the game is fun and I encourage you to play the game.… Expand
