Fun with my Son [Posted on 2008-04-17]
I played and solved this game in about 8-9 hours with my nine year old son. The game was fun in two player mode. This is a typical beat 'em up game with lots of button mashing. There are a few combos, but it is very simple to learn. The fun of the game is unlocking the new characters to play. Not only do you get heroes like Blade, Black Cat, Iron Fist and the Prowler, but you also get classic villains like Sandman, Lizard, Green Goblin, Venom, Scorpion and more. As an adult the game levels were a bit repetitive since you basically fight the same phantoms level after level. Though they do level up and change appearance as you go along. The puzzles are easy to beat and we had no trouble finding our way around. Once in a while the camera view is a bit wonky, but it is not bad overall. If you have a child at home, this is a great game to play with them. If you are an adult and want a game you probably can solve in a day, then rent this one and save yourself some money. I hope they make a sequel since there are plenty of spidey villains and heroes left untouched by this one. Vulture, Hobgoblin, Kraven, and Electro are just a few that could be used.

Great Purchase [Posted on 2008-05-14]
I got this game for my son about a month ago. He loves playing it and so do his friends. It's not as dark as some of the other Spiderman games he's played so he enjoys it much more. If you're looking for a more kid-friendly game, give this one a try.

A blast right out of the box! [Posted on 2008-07-05]
This game is a ton of fun right out of the box. I'm an adult and I found this game to be a total blast. I appreciated the fact that you didn't have to wander around trying to figure out where to go like many other video games. This game gives you the opportunity to play as Spider Man's enemies once you defeat them. Each enemy has a unique feel to them with their own unique abilities. It's fun being able to change your sidekick and then change back to Spider-Man whenever you want. Playing as Spider-Man is a total blast. You use your web to spin enemies around and sling them. You can also upgrade your abilities and those of your sidekicks. The game is addicting. Tons of action, tons of fun. Great comic book character game.

My sons love it [Posted on 2008-07-14]
My two sons, age 9 and 4, love this game. It's action-packed but reasonably predictable for young ones. I like how the tips come up on the screen, and the tokens and other goodies actually chase Spidey down rather than the kids having to remember to go and pick them up. The graphics and voice work is superb, and very amusing. Older kids and adults will probably find this game too easy with too much of the same stuff, but my little ones love it and would play it for hours if I let them. For us, it was a good purchase!
