Customer Reviews:

Good game, but... [Posted on 2006-01-05]
...there are a few problems with it. However, first the good news. Spidey is very much true to form in his classic Marvel attitude and look. Thankfully, Treyarch did not forget what I consider to be one of the most essential parts of the Spiderman mythos--his wisecracks! There were parts during the Human Torch/Spidey races where I just about fell on the floor, I was laughing so hard!

Ok, now, unfortunately for Treyarch, we come to the bad points of this game. In trying to learn webslinging, I dicovered that (at least on the Xbox version) it was too largely a matter of button-mashing at a confusingly quick pace. Speaking of webs, in the combat scenarios, there is precious little you can do with them other than "stunning" foes momentarily or gluing them to the ground (!) to keep them from recovering after a KO.

My biggest gripe, however, and the one which lost this game a star for me, is that the story mode is WAY TOO SHORT! Unfortunately, Treyarch seems, in cutting off the game story, to be on the cutting edge of a depressing trend (just a fad, God willing) in today's games. Whoever does the next Spidey game (Spider-Man 3?) PLEASE bring us a deeper, longer, richer storyline!! A good variety of unlockables, although nice, just doesn't make up for this inexcusable apparent laziness on the part of Treyarch and other current game developers.

So, in conclusion, I contend that this game is good for rental somewhere, rather than purchase. (Sorry Amazon, but at least now your customers will know what they're really getting.)

venom [Posted on 2006-03-24]
i got to this level where you battle venom i beat it already but then there is a video and then gets stuck in the middle then the whole screen turns black and quits the game.So i don't think that's NOT soposte to hapen.But aside of that it's fun

WOW! [Posted on 2007-04-07]
This game is one of the greatest games I've ever played. Definitely worth buying!

Pros: You get to play as Spidey and Venom. Venom's awesome, even though it's pretty brutal to suck life out of innocent people ;(. Apart from that, the first(yes, I mean very first) thing that will catch your attention are the graphics. HA, every comic book fan will love it! And all the landmarks are great, like the Brooklyn Bridge and Central Park! Standing on top of a skyscraper and then diving down towards the street really makes you feel great.


Cons: Although NYC is modeled almost perfectly, if you have a machine that's a little under the req.'s, you will experienxe choppy gameplay that can be confusing at times:).The camera isn't perfect either. And the city goals get really repetitive after awhile. The city could also be a little bigger, and you can't(as far as I understand) get to the Statue of Liberty!!!!

Overall, this game is great and is definitely worth buying or renting. Great gameplay, awesome costumes(waaahh, only AFTER beating the game), and two different characters make htis game well worth all the time and effort you put into beating this game. BUY IT!
