The Bottom Line:

"Almost, but not quite"

This one's great if you have a buddy hanging around that wants to help you snag an easy (ridiculously easy) 1000 GamerScore points. This title blends elements from the three Spider Man movies, along with the new animated Spectacular Spider Man series to create a beat-'em-up platform game with a rather shaky plot. Apparently when Venom crashed to Earth, a bunch of other meteorites with symbionts crashed along with him. A mysterious player captures these things and turns them loose upon the world, and then somehow manages to take control of all of Spider Man's enemies and ... gets them to want to take over the world too, along with fight Spider Man. Wait ... that's what they do anyway, right?

Anyway, Nick Fury and SHIELD get involved, enlist Spider Man to figure out where all the meteorites shards are, as well as to beat up his foes and save the world. Added bonus: Once Spider Man stops his old foes (again), they decide to join his side to stop whoever made them want to fight Spider Man in the first place. Because they don't want to fight Spider Man. Or something. Weird.

Anyway, it's a fun little title to play, and the achievements are not terribly difficult to achieve, especially with an ally by your side. Fun for a playthrough, but not really worth a hefty price to add to your collection, unless you're a serious Spider Man fan.
