thanks for sharing! I went back to that store and did notice that they had the xbox hooked up to like a 19" TV while the PS2 and GC were on like 15" monitor thingys. Maybe that had/has something to do with it?? All I know is at that particular store with thier setup, the xbox was the definite leader. Either way, the 20 minutes or so that I spent on the game definitely hooked me! I really liked the DC game and since I'm a Spidey fan anyway, this game is mine :D

why? just curious.

I felt the same way. It was just a little blah, though I did start making some pretty sweet web shots and using lots of different techniques to beat enemies.

To answer your "where does the webbing go?" question, this is really a staple of Spiderman (and Daredevil, and Batman) comics. Basically any character that uses any sort of grappling hook to move around the city suffers from this problem. It's just ignored.

Accept and move on :)

We have an X-box(actually 2) at the office... and I have a PS2 at home... also in answer to the what is the web sticking to... clouds? blimps? the real answer is NOTHING!!! but that's what makes spiderman so cool... remember in the 70s cartoon... he used to swing way WAY above the buildings. From everything I have seen of the film they did a much better job of this.

anyone who's tired of their copy of Spider-Man and want to sell it, mail me and lets make a deal...

My notebook has a 16 meg video card only. It says 32 meg for pc. Is this really the requirement or just to get full effects on it. I wanted to grab the game, but this stopped me on my tracks! Too bad u can't upgrade notebook videocards.

I rented -XBOX- it at BBV(free thanks to guaranteed in stock)...its really not my type of game, but I played it last night and had some fun. The camera didnt bother me and the controls were pretty simple to learn...

Just to put in my 2 cents...I saw Spider-man set up at our local Babbages and saw it running on a PS2, GC, & an Xbox. They were all pretty much had the same size screen. I can only tell you what I saw but The Xbox edition came away the clear winner. No question. The GC was pretty good & was a decent second. The PS2 was terrible. It really looked that bad. Spider-man kept stuttering & the graphics were definitely more blocky than the Xbox or GC.

Now for the playability...I just hate this game. Does anyone else hate the gameplay? Maybe it is just me but I just was not having that much fun. I am not a big control freak but I never could quit control spider-man the way I wanted to. Maybe it was just the camera problems that were throwing me off with the control. Wish I had rented it. The sound is also not a very good 5.1 mix 7 is probably one of the worse sounding Xbox games I have ever heard.

This is one awesome game. I just rented it!!!! Shocker is one bad ass dude. I might buy this game even. I can't believe that the Spider-Man game kicks ass too.


I still need to learn the fighting combos better. My hands are killing from play 4 hours straight!

Well back to the game!!!

I agree on the awesome game part :) I also rented it but ended up buying it to take back to Israel with me. Wonderfully fun and challenging game!

What is amazing to me is the amount of detail they put into this game. YOu know the level with Grand Central...The billboard where you buy your tickets actually has the correct stops that the train will be making. That shocked me that they actually thought about that! They did a great job with the Grand Central in this game! Awesome!

Funny this thread just resurfaced as I just beat this game yesterday! It had been on the shelf for like 4 months and I finally decided to give it a go again. Man am I glad I did! In spite of fighting the camera the still did a great job with spidey! :)

I saw a used copy of Spiderman today. I think I'm going to have to buy it now. :)

eerrr...question: why do you have both the XBOX and PS2 versions?

I just sold my GC version (sold it for $35) for a XBOX version (bought it for $19) I must say I love this game! It's pure fun burned on a CD! The spidey combo moves are fun and even just racking in points can be enjoyable. Also the Kraven the Hunter add-in is pretty cool too! Another item that I love about the game is all the concept art! It's awesome! I was watching that the other night! I just hope we could get another spidey game out soon...based on the comics!

Simple answer... I have a PS2 at home and both an xBox and a PS2 at work (I work for a design firm, we need to keep up with the industry) Hope that answers your question... hate me if you must :D
