Amazon.co.uk Review
Spider-Man: The Movie brings your friendly neighbourhood web-slinger to life with engrossing realism, proving that a superhero game of such complex nature can be achieved with nearly flawless and non-intrusive gameplay. Be it wandering the city's environs in search of villains, or just checking out your surroundings by web-swinging high above them, you truly can do whatever Spider-Man can. It's all here: high-flying aerial battles, the ability to web up and yank your enemies close for pummelling, and the capacity for crawling or web-zipping up, down and over any surface--and that's just for starters. All in all, this is one involved game that does not fail to live up to the hype.
The game parallels the motion picture's storyline, steering you through a progression of challenges that begin with the hunt for Uncle Ben's murderer, and ends with a final showdown with the Green Goblin. You begin as Peter Parker dressed in his wrestling costume and must defeat a variety of thugs throughout each level before advancing to the next set of challenges. The game gets progressively tougher as you encounter in turn Shocker, the Vulture, Scorpion and, of course, the Green Goblin.
Visually, Spider-Man is a treat: cityscapes unfold in realistic detail and are enhanced by sunlight shining between buildings; cut scenes offer seamless animation; interiors are painstakingly recreated; and Spider-Man and his enemies are well rendered, moving about the screen in clean fashion. As an added bonus, most characters are voiced by their movie counterparts, and the training mode features the sarcastic wit of Evil Dead star Bruce Campbell. --Larry White
Product Description
Spider-Man: The Movie allows fans to play as Spider-Man in several highly detailed 3-D environments inspired by the Columbia Pictures/Marvel Entertainment live-action feature film. This full roaming action-adventure game allows players to jump into the suit of a fledgling Marvel superhero and learn how to battle the forces of evil. Players crawl, leap, and swing from the dizzying heights of skyscrapers to catch criminals and supervillains, and, ultimately, come face-to-face with the Green Goblin in a death-defying display of aerial combat. During the course of the game, players must use Spider-Man's spider sense, agility, quick wits, and strength to evade the pursuit of the bad guys and overcome obstacles.

A fans dream, nearley came true,
By A Customer
This review is from: Spider-Man: The Movie (Xbox) (Video Game)
Even though I intended to write a review as objectively as possible, I am unable to do so since spider man is one of my childhood heroes. This is basically what draws the line between weather or not to buy this game. I loved its game play as it definitely is the best spider man game and due to the wide variety of moves available you really get the feel of what its like to be spider man supported by greatly detailed controllers. This provides a satisfactory challenge level which increases as the game progresses. I was pleased to see that the storyline paralleled the movie's and was thrilled to fight old time favorites such as Shocker, the Vulture, Scorpion, and, of course, the Green Goblin. The graphics of the game are stunning in detail as most Xbox games are. However, I encountered several disappointments: Primarily and most importantly, the obnoxious camera which fails to catch up with spider man, secondly, the random darkness of some places. But apart from that and a certain feeling of linear game play developed towards the end, I really loved this game. It is a shame, however, that minor mistakes due to a lack of polishing will stop this game from reaching halo status. Therefore,if superheroes are not your type of thing, save your money for better games out there. If you love and want to live spider man, buy it now.

Really quite enjoyable,
By Li'l Jay (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Spider-Man: The Movie (Xbox) (Video Game)
I thought this game was quite entertaining, I am a superhero fan though, so I think that was mainly the reason I bought it,this game is fun, no doubt. There are around 20-ish levels, exploring a plot based around the film. There are a few things to do after the game (such as pin-head bowling, [with thugs from the game], a chance to play as the Green Goblin on his glider with a slightly different plot, production art from the film and various other spider-man things). It is like the playstation spider-man games but with (obviously) a different plot,moves etc. It's play's like Mario64 with the camera behind our hero and simply executed moves. Extra moves can be found in power-up form in different levels, the energy and web is also found this way.i hate power-up's except on the original Pac-Man (Puck-man)and SNES games. I think Spider-man will appeal to comic book fans in particular but people of all ages above 9, it can be difficult at times and frustrating, but a ruddy good laff.

Spiderflop,
This review is from: Spider-Man: The Movie (Xbox) (Video Game)
As movies and games cross over the gaming industry becomes ever more popular as our favourite characters come to Xbox. Spiderman was a highly anticipated title but it has not lived up to expectations. When you first play the gaem you can see that it is not what you payed for. The actual character detail is not that high and when it comes to the bad guys they are of a low resolution. The actual controls are good and it does become a lot easier as you go. This is a small amount of positive things to say. There are many unlocakbles in the game and many familiar characters such as scorpion, shocker appear in it. The distance draw is great in the game and the sound is reasonable but when it comes to difficulty when it says hard it means hard. The landsacpes on the interior levels is not that great but the most appauling characters are the super soldiers,they are terrible. Overall i would only recommend this game on a rainy day.
