Intro:
     > I finally got a hold of this game after searching for a very long time and I have to say it was worth the
wait. This is one of the best Spider-Man games ever made, with lots of super heroes, villains, and moments
from the comics.
Graphics:
     > The Graphics had a very nice overhaul from the original Playstation version. Character models are
very well done from the veins on the muscles to the webbing on Spidey's costume. The backgrounds vary from the cityscapes to the underground sewers systems. The player animations are great too from the webshooting to the fighting it looks like your watching the series.
Control:
     > The controls take some getting used to if your not familiar with them. I found the analog stick is harder
to control your direction with than the Playstation D-pad. The basic punch, kick, webshooter controls are
easy and are very well done. I sometimes find trouble with the web slinging controls, if you don't hit them
at the right time you'll plummet to the streets below. Overall they are good but not great.
Sound:
     > The sound effects are well done, like the sound of webbing being shot or with its impact. The music is ok but not great. The players voices can sometimes become repetitive and just plain out stupid. But I'd say the sound effects are the best thing in the sound department.
Fun:
     > This game is really fun, especially if your a hardcore Spidey fan. There are lots of costumes and mini games to unlock. Along the way your also meet lots of Spider-Man characters along the way to interact with. I recommend this to any marvel comics fan or just a fan of a good adventure game.
Bottom Line:
     > A great game with some minor flaws, but a must for any hard core Marvel Comics fan and/or adventure fan.
Ratings:
Overall: 9.0 | Graphics: 9.2 | Control: 8.8 | Sound: 8.0 | Fun: 10
