SPIDER-MAN THE MOVIE GAME

First of all, never mind that the cover is for the game audio CD and not for the game itself, I had to find a cover quick

A few months ago I played the PC demo of Spider-Man movie game after a long time wanting this game as "The Spectacular Spidey-Geek" I am, I got really disappointed for not having him jump more than half the height of the PS1 Spidey games (those two are much better games in my opinion than this one), and I played his first stage with him as Spider-Man, it is really an annoying piece. At least there are two Shocker levels in the demo too, but they aren't all that good

Yesterday I finally played the whole game on my PC, I skipped the "Oscorp Levels" and what came after them using the cheat of skip level "ROMITAS", the game is OK, not really good in general, it is short that I finished it in 4 hours by cheat.

The graphics are much like the PC version of Spider-Man second movie game (why didn't they give us the console version for that? Here is hoping they fix that mistake and do port it one day for us). Gameplay has its good points like stealth and all the extra moves for combat making fighting something much more special than the regular button masher it is for the PS1 spidey games, Spidey 2, Ultimate, & Spidey 3 for the PS2

Surprisingly I did enjoy this game much more than the demo version. My only disappointment is that Kraven is exclusive for the XBOX, or at least I'd see his story here, and that will make it better on how the heck he knows Kraven already in Spider-Man 3

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story: It's nice. 4/5
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Graphics: To someone spoiled by how Japanese games has much better graphics on PS1 consoles and this is a PS2 game they really are bad, they still would be even if that factor was unavailable. 3/5
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gameplay: Aside the jump, Spider-Man swings and fights slow, fighting is a complaint when a thug can out punch him. 3.5/5
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Replay Value: A spidey geek like me always replays and enjoys Spidey games like this, can't so no matter how bad cause I hate the "Animated Series" game, this one has its assets. 3/5
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bonus Material: Cheats to play as MJ, Shocker, or many others is groovy. I love the bowling. 5/5
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Overall: 3.7/5
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Spidey Geekyness Factor: Extra 0.5 on the overall turning it to 4.2/5
