solid-arrow-up-btn The Ups:

As far as movie games go, this is pretty much just a title. The game itself only loosely follows the movie. There is a great cameo from Stan Lee and a wide variety of costumes to acquire which enhance different spider powers. The combat system is pretty fluid and makes you feel very Spider-man like (as opposed to a brawler like Wolverine). I only played for 3 hours so I can’t say how the overall game would progress but it has a lot of promise.

solid-arrow-down-btn The Downs:

I’m old man grumpy pants and I can’t get the web swinging right. It isn’t very intuitive and when you get to a mission that requires precise web control you will want to choke Spider-man on his own web fluid. Probably not a problem for them young kids out there who can play this shit with their spider sense alone. But I wasn’t a fan of it.

I’m giving it an incomplete due to not playing longer. It’s possible it could be a great game with a little more patience on my part. There is some comedic value in listening to Spider-man complain if you keep swinging him face first into walls.

5-of-10

I mostly got this game cause I like RPG's and I loved the cover art. Sadly, that art was nowhere to be seen in the actual game (which is fair for an 8 bit game). Luckily the dungeon crawler RPG aspect made up for it. I may be pushing it a bit giving it a 9/10 but it...

Perfect score if you get the version where Sid can put a hamster in the microwave. Almost perfect score if you play the censored version. Either way this game is incredible and we haven't seen it's like since it was made. The number of different endings and solutions...
