Amazon.com Review: 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 White
Pros:
Detailed controls bring Spider-Man to life
Challenging gameplay enhanced by numerous fight styles
Stunning visuals at every level
Cons:
Camera angles slow to respond at times
Some interiors too dark
Repetitive one-liners

spider man the video game is successful at web swinging and wall crawling and also is very very fun to play.see i beat this whole entire game in 5 days because the hard level like when you have to chase green goblin when he got aunt may and when you have to defeated the flying robots.i didnt get to beat level until one day i play that mission and i defeated the 10 robots but i was only down to one robot and i beat that level in 5 minutes.but the game was great and i enjoy play it.and another thing that is sweet about this game is that you can play as peter parker/spiderman
Rating: - BEST SPIDEY GAME SINCE THE PS1 GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
well to start what amazons asking is a awesome deal cause the graphics on this one is better than spider-man 2 or 3 and the controlls are very similar to the spider-man game on ps1 and he swings like it, scorpion looks like he did on the ps1. but some scenes were not in the game like it would be a awesome level if you could battle bonesaw but you could in training after you battle like 70 thugs and the last level could've been better by battling inside the warehouse when you beat half of him and the death scene was kida cool ...spoilers!!!... spidey knocks out goblin in the middle of the road and he takes off his helmet revealing its gasp! norman osborn he starts talking to peter and he summons his glider to "run him over" not inpaling him but web jumps and the speed of the glider kills him not really movie plot but i think the shocker levels are my favorites cause ..SPOILERS... robs a jewlery store his thugs beat up cops and you save them you meet shocker he tries to kill a man you save him, he escapes through the sewer beat up more guys, make it to the subway try to web zip to shocker and avoid his mega blast , he escapes you chase him and finnaly knock the crap out of him when he then tells you that vulture has half of the money you again try to reach him he escapes, couple of old man jokes, beat him out of the sky kick his butt then gets arrested plus they made scorpion crazier than a soup sandwich.
overall this is awesome so buy it you wont regrett it!

I have grown more fascinated with this since the movies came out and they made himn stronger. His webs I belive might have been that srong in the original comic but his pyshical body stregth of his actually body was that of normal man not that of super man. Here are some straties for this and other spider man game.
I will first start with the arcade game. Played with black cat for the first fight with venom combine kicks punches with throws to reduce resitanmce to damage venom when he is normal size before enlarge to 3/10 the size orf mr staypuuff. He has a weak resitance of only aabout 12% meaning twelve blows will him if you used throw punches and kickes. Only used kicks and pucnhes and the fight will take twice to four times as long and his restiance will be 15 t 80% and only take away half as much percentage wise per hit. Try to limited the elimn8ulator use that actually increase the number of times you have to continue depending on how often you use it I think this guy or did it starting around the second before the lizard battle. You do fight scorpion before venom but he is just an annoyed diversion after a few hit the main fight with venom will commence. You will have your nex fight with the enlarged venom. If you use a special movie and hit hit with this giant wipe like graphic hook like weapon he has 25% resistance mean four hits will defeat him untiul you climb up another couple of stories and the scond battle with this nastier venom will begin. Venon is slight stronger this time only take 16.6% damge with the use of this item so you have to hit him one more time than the previous fight. For the third fight his resitance is strongest at 11% take a 11 hits or only 9.09% damage per hit to bet. After you defeat him this t6ime the stone will come out of him and he will go back done to his original size. Fight venom one more time at normal size if you combine pucnhes kick and throw you can over come his 12% resitacne when these are combined with throws it doubles again hit him with about 4 hits pucnhes and throws causing 8.3% damge per each on he does not dodge and it is the end of the first stage of the game. For the scorpion bose fight alternmate between kick punches and throw attacks to cut his resitance to damage down from about 15% 80 maybe higher down to a mere 12% resitance. Deliver a combinatyionf a baout 9 punches on Doctor octupus or Doc Ock and he will go down. For the next boss the sand man score about 17 to 18 punches or kick on him and he goes down you cfan maybe cut his damage ristance down by about half if you alternate attacks for normal punched and kick to throw attacks freuqently enough. Next you must fight two boss fight back to back the hobo goblin who will go down with about 11 hits if you the rit combinations and the after him the kingpin a villian from the cartoon series that never appaeared in the actual movies. About combination of eigteen blow with and occasional throw will take this big guy down. For the next fight you are into they ftying pan you must refight the llizard in a cave literall 75% of the screen on the ground is engulfed in flames. A combinatioon of 16 normal movies and 1 to 2 throw attack will take him down. To cut the blow down try to do more throws throw the weaker minions at the lizard it might have the same effected as you throw him your self. Now comes one of the longest fights in tghe game the boss battle against the other goblin the infamous green goblin. This boss has three health bars you can take him down with only ninteen hits if you use and emulator but yo take damage ten times more easily and faster in this battle so I don't recommend using and inhumilator on this or other games in this series unless you have invulerability one or something like that. I will send the remain boss data later sometime inbetween 7:00 and 9:00 PM this evening I will ao be doing the ultimate spider man the newest game when the man bad guy is venom on this same review because the speed run is massive for ultimate spider borke up into at least 6 parts maybe more. This is the second segment of ultimate spider man. Next you have your first train boss battle with venom against wolverine he has a high defense status of about 35% damage resitance so attack him with your wip arm like attack from a distance to reduce damage if play with oun infinite health or invulerability cheats on. 35 hits with this move which does and wimp 2.8% damage of the max 100% this train boss is capable of enduring each time it is performed correctly try to do a strong move like a throw to speed this up if you get impatient our you find you are taking to much damage. I will send the remain boss status for this second segment later today.
Rating: - Frustrating at times
This Spiderman game is based on the movie. It is a 3D adventure game, featuring all of the movie Spiderman's abilities. It is moderately difficult. The camera angles are poor, and the character controls are stiff, and reaction speed slow. I thought the stealth mode was not implemented very well, as most of the time you have to fight the same people you could hide from anyway. The graphics are mediocre at best. The music is pretty average.
Despite my criticisms, the game is somewhat fun. There are surprise attacks that you have to dodge, as spiderman would. There is a decent amount of robustness to the level of interactivity with the environment. For example, you can pick up, throw, or kick objects. The objects have different physics such as rolling for tires and explosions for certain containers. You can climb on walls and ceilings, and shoot a web to pull yourself to a wall or ceiling, although you may not shoot diagonally.
Additionally, the controls are explained well and are fairly intuitive. If you are a fan of spiderman or 3D adventure games, you might want to give this game a try. Otherwise I would tread carefully and not spend too much money renting or buying this.
