One of the best Spider-Man games to date. The story is definately one of the best.

I have fond memories of playing this game growing up! Not just due to its simplistic and straight foward control style but also because of its dynamic story. As the first 3D rendered Spider-Man game, this didn't disappoint as so many other games did in their 32-bit debut. It approached the gameplay in many different ways throughout the game. In some levels you'd find yourself fighting swarms of baddies, where other levels require more stealth tactics, and even some feature fun (but difficult) chase scenes. Other fun features were unlocking different spider-man costumes, hearing Stan Lee's commentaries, and playing in "What If" mode.

The story starts off with Spider-Man being framed for a crime that he didn't comit and Eddie Brock upon finding out, losing control and becoming Vemon once again...to impose his own brand of lethal justice on Spidey. This leads to Vemon kidnapping Mary Jane which unraves an even nastier scheme by a couple of much worse supervillians and finds Vemon and Spidey as unlikely allies once again. The combination of villians and allies featured in the game was awesome and tailored made for fans of Spider-Man.

My Breakdown:


What's Good:

- Pretty awesome to hear the original Spider-Man theme song after so many years

- The ending was pretty funny
- Great cast of characters
- Gameplay is full of variety
- Cool unlockables
- Nice graphics for its time
- Set the bar high on future Spider-Man game
- Stan Lee's Commentaries

What's Not-So-Good:

- The difficulty could be a bit uneven throughout the game

What's Bad:

- Nothing that stands out

In all, Spider-Man was one of the best games that I owned on PSX and is a must play/own for any gamers and Spider-man fan.
