Spider-Man's video game comeback is an excellent one!

I'm a veteran of the old games Spidey showed up in, and this game rocks and rolls big time! The transition from the comic series to the PlayStation world is excellent, the gameplay is super-tight and the game engine is the best to present Spidey in any type of game. Welcome the new champion of the 3rd-person action-adventure genre. Spider-Man is the man! Neversoft and Activision are the teams to beat. Don't just rent this game, buy it! You'll never regret this game!

With regards to gameplay the ‘Tomb Raider’ engine will always come to people's minds at first, but as you play you'll see and feel the difference. While the 'Tomb Raider' engine is meant for exploration, However the 'Spider-Man' engine is meant for adventuring and high-speed action. Game control is tight, no doubt. What you see in the comic book, you'll find it here. Spidey can swing with his web lines, he moves and fights like he does from the comic pages, and he can lift-throw big objects around. It's like you're actually playing a comic book!

The graphics are a wonder to behold! The villains are just like the cartoons/comics; Spidey looks and acts terrific! I really believe they went to the full limits with graphics, I have absolutely no complaints in this department. The animation is excellent and very true to the characters and all the character models are good.

The music here ranges from catchy little tunes to rather grating repetition of beats. Danger scenes and fighting scenes have their unique brand of adrenaline pumped feel. The voice acting is superb and very top notch. The voices of all the characters are pretty much one of the most dominant high points of the game. The sound effects, likewise, are extremely well done. Spiderman is a great game that is true to the comics. You fight new and classic villains. An all round fun game.
