isSpider-Man 2: The Movie(the game) a significant improvement on previous video game simulations of New York's friendly neighbourhood web-slinger.As you'd expect, the new game works along the same basic lines as the last one but is actually a very noble attempt to completely expand the concept and the way it's implemented. The biggest change is the that the game is now much more free-form, rather than being strictly mission based, and you can swing around New York City all you like, getting involved in side quests (such as stopping minor robberies) before getting around to the wider plot.The actual business of web-slinging has been greatly improved so that your webbing now actually connects with buildings, instead of just attaching to thin air, and so the whole business of getting around the city becomes more "realistic". The combat system has also been completely overhauled, although it's still fair to say that the interior levels are far less entertaining than bouncing around New York and getting involved in aerial scraps.The game realises this though and the majority of the action now takes place outside as you not only follow the plot of the movie, taking on main bad guy Dr Octopus, but also tackling some of Spidey's other villains from the comic books, including the Vulture, Rhino and Shocker--as well as meeting alternative love interest Black Cat. Hopefully someday all comic book games will be this good.--David Jenkins

Advantages: amazing controls, great graphics Disadvantages: too short, repetitive events

Ultimate Spiderman plunges you into the comic book world in a story some may not be familiar with at all compared to the ones we've been used to through the various cartoon and movie series. This revolves around the Ultimate Spiderman comic universe so Peter Parker is a teen in high school, he's best friends with Eddie Brock, their parents are scientists who made a cure for cancer - but sadly that cure turns out to be the Venom symbiote which causes Brock to go on a rampage.
The game is quite large. You can freely explore New York. Web slinging is loads of fun. Spiderman's agility is amazing - you can ping pong off walls, do flips and so much more. Controls are amazing & easy to learn.
The negative is that the game is really short. Between each boss battle you're left to roam around in the city and do repetitive things like beating up and chasing thugs, taking people to the hospital, and so on. They're cool at first but the fact that you have to go hunting for them is just annoying, time consuming and deja vu sets in immediately. I never played Spider Man 2, but apparently those are things that originated there, so I guess if you've done that before this game won't seem as fancy.
Character design is great. Bright vivid colors, well detailed characters and a great voice cast. Outside of the game being extremely short, its pretty cool overall but another flaw is that in order to get the black suit Spider Man, you need to pretty much clear all events in the game and find all hidden tokens and things which is EXTREMELY tedious and annoying to do. Seems like more effort than its worth and most players probably give up on it. Racing Johnny Storm around the city is fun and helps you perfect your web slinging especially when a boss battles requires a high speed web slinging chase.
In some points you can play as Venom to battle Wolverine and cause chaos. At the end you can freely switch to Venom but that's pathetic because all you do is play this mini-game where you're trying to destroy things and survive while the military chases you down.. basically you're just playing a survival game and it gets dull FAST.
So in the end its a fun game and pretty cheap now. I'd recommend it over Spider Man 3, Friend or Foe, & Web of Shadows.

Advantages: Stunning Graphics Disadvantages: VERY short
...aware of the story of Spider-Man and did not watch the movie, Spider-Man is a story about a geek who turns into a super-hero called Peter Parker. The game is based around the movie, but with extra stories to make the game longer. You will face multiple additional enemies that were not featured in the movie, as I said this is because without them the game would be too short. The game is a single player adventure game, with 22 levels of both indoor ... ...Graphics
The graphics of Spider-Man I must say are above average, but then again nothing too special either. Spider-Man himself looks highly detailed as you would expect, it is shame though the same cannot be said about most the enemies you encounter, as they only look and move averagely. The outside in particular looks very detailed; the skyscrapers look beautiful as they reflect the sunlight of their windows. When you look down you will see a ...

Advantages: good action fantastic juices Disadvantages: NO MONKEYS, what are you thinking
Well bugger me side ways with an X-box if I havent enjoyed my brief affair with spideys latest nintendo outing. It all starts on a rainy saturday afternoon, shortly after recieving my monthly credit card bill with a nice credit extension on it (I thank you) I decided to paint middlesbrough town centre red with a summer spending spree. My trip took me to shops of all descriptions but before going to the car I visited my local gamestation. Spying a ... ...swiftly picked it up and ran out of the shop laughing maniacally being chased by security guards. I climbed up mcdonalds wall and web swung to the car park and shot off up the road with my spidey mask on.
Ok lies, I put it on my credit card.
Slipping the tiny webbed disc into my gamecube brought out a nice little spidey style intro, complete with cgi Tobey Maguire and Willem Dafoe looking a bit kak really. Anyway onto the game, after a brief training ...

Advantages: wicked visual effects and cool storyline Disadvantages: crowded theatres
...a science fiction buff but Spider-Man the movie had me I have to say. I recently went to see Time Machine and found myself bored by the predictable script. I expected Spider-Man to be predictable and it just WAS NOT. I thought Peter Parker was very relatable and his being spider man was a curse as well as a gift in some sense. The end had a twist to it, not the usual love story ending which I liked and did not predict. The visual effects were, need ... ...are so far fetched and the morality of Spider-Man the Movie is what I appreciated in this film. This movie is for the boys and the girls. It is action, it is love, it is struggle and it is overcoming struggles. I recommend it as a 'go and see it'. ...

Advantages: GOOD GRAPHICS AND HIS SWINGS MARVELOUS. Disadvantages: NEVER A SPIDER MAN GAMER.
Well as a non-spidermangame addict it sounds pointless when biased giving a detailed report about the game's graphics, sound, game play and game plan. I got this because of the interest I picked on the movie from part one to three. Well I have to give thanks to the moviemakers that made me like the movie and game. In my own opinion, while playing the game, it seem some how like a kindergarten stuff to me although its stunts moves is one of the best I have come across.
Let it end on PSP games, as for playing on it yes I love that but as for playing the spiderman in another console like ps2, gamecube and other higher consoles forget it because I don't think on buying it with my hard earned money. Don't just mind my criticisms, I guarantee you about the game. The game is marvelous; the stunts alone can keep you playing the game ...
