Mindless, yet entertaining, but could still use a bit of work.
Graphics
I'm just going to get to the point: the graphics suck goat blood. I personally think that Activision spent a bit much time working on how perfect Spidey was going to look, they forgot to focus on the details of the bad guys. The graphics look very unrealistic, and a lot of the time it looks as if the characters got their shoulders glued to their neck. So, in terms of graphics, this is pretty good.
Gameplay
Unfortunately, the sheer mindlessness and beat-em-up quality of the gameplay easily becomes long, boring and downright hard. There are a few rare points where you need to stop and think, but it's mostly just kill anything that moves. But of course, it's Spidey's job to beat up bad guys, so you can't really blame the action. And at least Activision gives you variety while playing the game, so you can collect fight combos to dish out justice in a stylish way. You fight against lots of other enemies that didn't appear in the movie, like Shocker, Scorpion, and Vulture, and the way the game plays along sets almost an entirely different storyline.
Sound
Sound is pretty good, when it comes to SFX and voice-overs. Now when it comes to music and VOs for Spidey, that's when this game begins to lose it. The music is repetitive and annoying, and the VOs for Spider-Man and Peter Parker sound like drones.
Replay value
Playing this game again is almost better than playing it the first time. By winning the game you unlock secret costumes, and by winning points you unlock special FMVs and bonus features to use in the game. Plus, you have the enormous array of combos to collect, which gives you control of Spidey in an entirely different way.
Buy, rent or flush?
Even if this does sound promising, you should rent the game first and see what you like of it. If you absolutely hate it, flush it down the toilet, but I won't cover any ninety-day warantees or crap like that.
Until we meet again....
