Buy Spider-Man
A 3-D action-adventure game starring everyone's favorite webhead, Spider-Man is quite a rarity--a superhero video game that's worth playing. Featuring an original story jam-packed with characters and locations from the comics, and, more importantly, gameplay that does our hero justice, this is one title that won't disappoint Spidey fans. While Spider-Man's story line (told via a slide show of comic book panels) is linear, there's great freedom of movement within the game's 3-D indoor and outdoor environments. True to comic book form, you can climb walls and travel about webswinging, although the former can be disorientating in terms of point-of-view, and the latter is often a leap of faith, as the game's shoddy graphics (even with the optional Expansion Pak) create a restricted field of vision. In addition to being able to do all sorts of nifty things with your webspinners, Spidey's superstrength, superagility, and spider-sense (for which you'll want a Rumble Pak to feel the patented tingle) are also accounted for. As for his superhuman reflexes, well, that one's really up to you. --Joe Hon Pros: - Gameplay that actually does Spider-Man justice
- Simple in-game display; solid controls
- Lots of secrets unlock in records and gallery modes
- Kid mode simplifies controls and gameplay for younger players
Cons:- Shoddy graphics can cause Spidey to go splat
- Point-of-view can be disorienting at times
- PlayStation version features much-improved graphics and sound
