Game Info
-One of the highest grossing movies of all time, Spider-Man wasn't complete without a videogame.  This is a great rent title, mainly because of its short length but fun gameplay.  The presentation of this game is awesome and the voice-acting is top quality.

Gameplay: B
The controls are very confusing.  It took me at least 2 hours to getused to them.  Also, the camera is really bad.  You can turn the camera with the C-stick as in Super Mario Sunshine, but it turns opposite! It's really confusing and usually doesn't work all that well.  But seeing past all that, Spider-Man is a really fun game.  The game partially follows the movie, but adds some other villians such as Scorpion and Vulture.  Swinging around isn't as much fun as I had hoped, but it is pretty cool.  I prefer the outside levels to the indoors mainly because of the camera, and that the fighting on ground is not well done.  Spider-Man has tons of fighting moves on the ground, but they don't really feel like they're top quality.

Graphics: B
If you just watch the game, you'll notice the great detail and how far you can see.  The framerate will drop once in awhile, but it doesn't affect gameplay. 

Sound: B
A lot of people from the movie have used their voices in the game.  Spider-Man talks to himself a lot and has some really bland dialogue.  Some enemies will insult him and he says a really bad comeback.  The background music fits perfectly, though. 

Challenge: B
This is a really hard game most likely because of its controls.  Some of the levels are really tough, making you play them over and over.  One stealth level on it took me about 2 hours playing it over and over because it was so hard.

Replay: B-
After you beat the game, there's other stuff to  unlock.  A bowling game is included, but is really hard to control.  Art galleries and movies are also in the disc, and will keep you playing.

Overall:  82%
"One of the best rent titles ever."
