Product Description:
Spiderman for Playstation One. The City is depending on YOU! Spin a web. Swing across the sky. Who is that masked Hero? It's YOU!
Amazon.com Review:
Whether you're a fan from the '60s or not even remotely familiar withthe Spider-Man comic, you will get caught in his web. You'll see that despite its few flaws and the limitations of the PlayStation hardware, Spider-Man is the best based-on-a-superhero video game ever released.
A crime has been committed and (as often happens) our hero has been framed. As the game progresses, you'll find that all is not as it seems and that many of Spidey's enemies, including Venom, Carnage, Mysterio, and Rhino, are all out to squash the Spider's quest to clear his name. Fortunately, Spider-friends, such as Daredevil, Human Torch, and Punisher, are here to help Spider-Man and keep the story moving. Like the comics, ol' webhead can climb most walls and ceilings, swing from rooftop to rooftop and, of course, do whatever a spider can. With his constant webslinging and acrobatic hand-to-hand fisticuffs, it's easy to feel that you are Spider-Man.
The characters and scenery are nicely re-created here by making great use of the aging PlayStation's graphics. Spidey's ability to climb walls and ceilings does present problems with camera angles from time to time, occasionally making it tough to watch Spidey as he fights his way through some of the game's levels. While it can be frustrating, the overall camera work and graphics of Spider-Man are still amazing. Also, Spider-Man's controls can at times be less responsive and accurate than they should be, and the music is surprisingly subdued and flat, but most true believers can bear these problems until Spidey saves the day.
In fact, the gameplay is so good, most seasoned gamers will devour the game in day or two, which makes Spider-Man a woefully short game. Cherish the time you have in these red and blue tights; this game is escapism at its best. --Mark Brooks

not bad. It held the attention of my 4 yearold for awhile but then mario DS came around...
Rating: - Fun but too bad for the stupid save system...
I came across this game when I was a small child. After playing this game many times without completion, I now reject this game at all costs. Why? Because I can't finish it!
The furthest I got was Level 5 (with Level 3 being the longest). I saved and I came back the next day to finish it. The save game was completely gone. I had to start from scratch. I mean, I'm actually surprised everyone else are able to finish it! And no, it's not a problem with my memory card. It works fine with ... Read More

I ordered this game for my 9 year old son. I don't know why he insists on me buying and him playing old Playstation games but he enjoys playing them thoroughly. Spiderman is an excellent, clean, fun Spiderman game.
