fantasy

I greatly suggest this title to all Xbox owners out there, but be forewarned, some do not like this style of play; rent it before you buy it. Here's my rating of different aspects of the game on a scale of 1-10:

Graphics: 9
The graphics are beautiful - prerendered bliss. The outdoor levels are superb. It's amazing to watch the sun reflect off of a scyscraper while web-swinging through the air. I wasn't as inmpressed with the indoor levels, but they were sufficient.

Voice Acting: 8
It was nice to hear the actors from the film do voiceovers. Although I enjoyed the trademark Peter Parker sarcasm, he sounded completely disinterested at times. William Dafoe (I hope I didn't butcher his name) was a different story. He sounded genuinely evil!

Storyline: 8.5
The storyline stuck to the movie's plot enough so that that those of you don't follow Spiderman understood the plot. But it had an original tinge to it, adding many surprises and including characters such as: Shocker, Kraven the Hunter, Scorpion, forget the others, and of course, the Green Goblin. The levels were bridged with short movies that explained what was going in detail.

Gameplay: 10+
Ahh, this was the section I was waiting for... Even if everything else about the game was terrible, the gameplay is only surpassed by perhaps Halo. The satisfaction I get from grabbing on to the Green Goblin's hovercraft in midair and reapeatedly punching him makes me tingle. Memorizing and trying to unlock new attack combos is excellent. The variety of fighting styles is mind boggling. The levels get proggressively more difficult, but they're always manageable with a little use of that gray matter poppin' out of your head.

Replayibility: 6
I enjoy exploring the specials and trying new cheats, but the replay value isn't that great. The designers could've included difficulty levels or something. But oh well (sigh)...

Multiplayer: 1
There is no multiplayer! The only reason I gave it a 1 is that you can take turns on the missions with your friends.

Party on! Buy Spiderman!

Those who say this game gets dull really quickly, or that it's too easy are obviously not very easy to impress. For most, this game is awsome. Here are some reasons why:
1. The gameplay and replay value are great. There are 4 levels of difficulty: easy, normal, hero, and superhero. Easy is of course, easy. Takes about 2 hours to beat. But after that it gets incredibly hard; yet fun. I bought this game over two weeks ago, and I'm still playing it for hours everyday, and it never gets boring. The replay value and gameplay are great.
2. The graphics are simply put, awsome. Everyone down to the littlelist detail looks real. There are amazing buttons to push and try like Slinging villains into walls or into each other, creating a web dome to protect yourself from gunfire. The ability to zip instantly up to ceilings and swing around buildings. Even the ability to land on top of villains and beat'em up from there. Did I mention the ability to shoot web bombs at villains, even tie them up for up to several minutes? The editor is correct in one manner: you can do anything that spiderman can do.
3. If your worried about getting to know the game and how to work the controls, don't worry. There's a training level that teaches you everything, step by step. Your even trained by a comedian, who has a lot of funny jokes. I really enjoyed training mode.
4. You play up to 5 villains, each more challenging then the first. Each has a few thugs and robots that you have to get by to get to the main villain.
5. Finally, it's worth the 40 or 50 bucks you might pay for it. I bought it on sale for 39.99, and I've played it for close to 50 hours (and I'm still looking forward to playing it everyday).

To wrap it up, it gives hours and hours of fun, and if your new to the Xbox, this is a great game to try it out on first. Well, that's my view on this game. Now I have to go play Spider-man!

I loved this game. I have played levels over and over again. It is really fun. I don't think it's all that hard. Okay so the big machine in Oscorp and hiding from the Oscorp is a little challeging, but overall it is fairly easy. I recomend this game to people who love to go across the city via web and to anyone who liked the movie.
