This was actually the second Spider-Man game I ever played (I first got Spider-Man 2 the game). It is the tie-in to the movie of the same name featuring Spider-Man and the Green Goblin. It's pretty fun, it has a good cast of supervillains you encounter like the aforementioned Green Goblin, Shocker, Scorpion, Vulture, and Kraven the Hunter. The webslinging between ****, though fun, could use some work in the mechanics, it's a little too simplistic. That's improved on greatly in the next game in the series. We see Spider-Man's origin story in this game, as you get to track down Uncle Ben's killer, Peter pursues Mary Jane Watson in the backdrop of the game, and you encounter the Green Goblin. A strong start to the Spider-Man game series, though limited partly due to the fact that it's older.
I bought this game when I was very young and still remains one of my favorite games. The graphics, gameplay, story, and the action are wonderful. If you have not played this game before, the game doesn't follow the movie completely. I am okay with Movie License games not following the movie completely, but most find a way to screw up the game. Spider Man the Game is not like that. The game does take some elements from the movie, however it adds some fun entertaining levels. Some of Spider Man's villains from the comics make an appearance like Shocker, Vulture, Kraven the Hunter, Scorpion, and the main antagonist of the game, Green Goblin. The controls are very easy, the game gives you help on what your suppose to do, and it is just fun to play the game. The game does have many positive sides, the game also has a couple of negatives. The camera at certain points can be very "Wonky", the boss battles can be extremely difficult, and the campaign is really short. Even though there is negatives, Spider Man the game is fun and I encourage you to play the game.
The Xbox version of "Spider-Man" is arguably the best one. It includes exclusive Kraven the Hunter levels. And graphically, it's better looking than the PS2 and GameCube editions. The game itself is fun, but flawed. Combat and animation are fluid. However, the camera can be problematic. You constantly have to re-adjust it. And while stealth is an option, it's hard to maintain. As you progress in each level, you'll discover new attack moves and unlock bonus content. If you're a fan of Spider-Man, you'll have a good time. But expect some frustrating aspects. Overall, I would rate this with a 7.8 out of 10.
