This game is so much fun, it's unbelievable. The area they've given you to free-roam in is enormous, so much so that I'm constantly finding entire blocks that I've never been to. I went to the tallest point you can get to, and realised that there was a bloody big bridge that I'd never even seen before. You can do the whole thing without touching the floor too - swinging and grabbing new corners is the best thing in the World. The graphics aren't up to much (Mary-Jane looks like Doc Ock punched her repeatedly in the face), but when you see the size of the city, you'll really appreciate the trade-off they've made to get there. Unbelievable fun in an enormous city. Huge. And I got to the Statue of Liberty by swinging under a helicopter. Yeah. And it's got Bruce Campbell's voice in it loads, saying funny things that don't get annoying because it's Bruce Campbell's voice.
I like the pendulum-like physics too - that works really well. Basically, once you've grabbed a point by gesturing towards it, you swing around that point until you come to a halt, or charge up, release and grab another point. Imagine bombing down a street on your "strings", releasing them and gesturing a hard right turn, hitting the right trigger to release some web, and the whole level below you sharply turning into a new block to speed down. It's amazing. Captures the same essence of fun as GTA3 did.

Yes, you knows you wants this. 'Normal' swinging takes a few goes to get the hang of, but one you get into the rhythm it's just a lot of fun. Some of the missions require you to catch up with cars going down the streets, and you have to jump onto the roof of the car from a swing, then punch up the drivers. My only complaint is that you can't web passers-by, or blow up cars. Being a goody-goody sucks. But being Spider-man rules!
I'll rent this.
Heh, I need this.
