"Spiderman, Spiderman!"

I got this game yesterday, and I have to say that I'm impressed. After reading mediocre reviews about it, I was initially unsure whether to buy it, but it really is great. It is true, there are camera 'problems' and it isn't the most technologically adept piece of software to grace my GameCube, but it is incredibly good fun.

To start with, it is Spiderman. Don't underestimate the fun factor potential in all the web swinging action - the animation, abilities and fun are all spot on. I could spend hours swinging around Manhatten, grappling buildings, shooting web...

Second, while its said there are far too many opportunities to save, this makes it a very relaxed, tension-less game. Since its only about 5 minutes between saves, this means you never get hair-jerkingly frustrated and therefore don't storm off in a paddywhack (love that word).

Since this is only a quick point, I have this to say: Spiderman is what a game should be - fun. Not too difficult, but still it offers a challenge and you will undoubtedly die a few times. However, since (in my opinion), the mission-based and saving structure is brilliant, you don't often get 'stuck'. What's more, running around as Spiderman is a blast, which means you'll just want to keep on going. You may think something is challenging, but at least it is a task which you won't mind repeating because the game is so fun to play.

Spiderman is quite short though, which makes it almost a perfect rental game. My advice: Go buy, or if not, go rent!

The Vulture air battle's the best, the graphics are amazing.

I was stuck on the goblin one for ages (after taking the photos, that was easy) i did'nt know much about target switching much then though.

My favourite is the one where your swinging and taking photo's then you have to fight all them robots. I also like the Vulture and Goblin air battles.

yeah i got it on the xbox the other day, Its really good but many of the levels are inside, whereas i prefer the outside levels.

Level 1 is still my faveourite, i could spend hours swinging through the city.

I am on the level named "Chemical Chaos" its quite difficult.

The thing I don't understand about Spider-man is he gets praised for shooting that white stuff in public, if I did that then i'd be arrested.

Perhaps he is in fact "Ant-man", since that would give him the ability to lift 8 times his own weight. He could still strap on the web things he has on his wrists in the original comic and animated series, and pretend he is spider man...

And why is Spiderman really strong? I didn't realise Spiders had super strength

Spiderman does everything a spider can eh?

Spiders shoot web from their backsides.
Some spiders are venoumous
Some spiders can shoot poison barbs from their backs
Some spiders can swim without breaking the surface of the water.

earwig man is more appropriate i think.
