Spider-Man:
The Movie brings your friendly neighborhood web slinger to
life with engrossing realism, proving that a superhero game of
such complex nature can be achieved with nearly flawless and
nonintrusive 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 pummeling,
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 story
line, steering you through a progression of challenges that
begins 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;
cutscenes offer seamless animation; interiors are
painstakingly re-created; 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

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 (due for release in May
of 2002). 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.
