Product Description

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fans dream, nearley came true, 21 Jun 2002
By A Customer
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Really quite enjoyable, 6 Oct 2002
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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Lets Be Super Honest...., 15 Dec 2002
Before I begin, let me make one thing clear: This is not a bad game, this is simply a game that cannot live up to what is rightfully expected of an Xbox title. I feel that this is the best that could be done with such tight constrictions, whether that is good enough compared to every other title available is another thing all together.

Spiderman has great visuals, and it is hard to get bored of the light reflecting off the skyscrapers as you glide through the city. When you look at screenshots, you expect there to be some kind of catch, "How can you swing through the entire sections of the city with no restrictions?" Well, there is no catch, and this is the only area in which the game is truly in its own, it looks stunning (for a game that was released on pretty much every platform and was by no means developed for the Xbox console) and the feel of freedom is fantastic.

I was not a Spiderman fan at all and remain so, influenced by the appalling film, but this game is fun, and levels remain fresh, in the air or inside. The controls however, become increasingly problematic on the interior levels, and even getting from the walls to the floor can present the Superhero with his greatest challenge to date.

The music is repetitive and irritating, and the taunts and replies between Spiderman and the cronies are possibly the most pathetic thing I've heard in a while, this is a title for the younger gamer. However, these are all bearable when you look at the game's greatest flaw: It can be completed in two days... and then there is nothing. This game can be played once, and that's it. The multiplayer ideas are totally feeble and after frustratingly struggling to complete a level, you will not want to revisit it.

Overall, this is a great attempt at something that cannot truly produce a great game, and the result is interesting, enjoyable, but only one for extreme fans or people with money to burn.
