In decades past, Spider-Man's film rights had been a major point of contention, thwarting plans for directors Tobe Hooper and James Cameron to bring the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man to the big screen. Prior to Spider-Man's blockbuster movies, the young hero was the star of several TV series and made-for-TV movies, along with various acclaimed cartoons, including Spider-Man: The Animated Series.
This is hampered even more by appallingly unresponsive controls that are just a chore to use, so unless you enjoy terrible games, steer well clear.Marvel Comics' web-slinger Spider-Manhas been adapted into film twelve times, each delivering a fresh take on the iconic Marvel hero. It gets worse when you start to play, with tedious, minimalist gameplay that doesn't require you to actually do very much. It gets off to a bad start with poor visuals that were outdated at the time of release, with sound that that is equally dodgy. Spider-Man 2 is certainly up there with the worst of the movie licenses, including Home Alone and Gremlins 2, and is best avoided at all costs. You also have access to a supercharged attack and can make use of Spidey's webslinging skills, while movement is quite restricted and offers none of the freedom that you might expect from the licence, as it operates on a sort of point-and-click basis.
There's not much to the actual game other than punching and kicking the various bad guys that you come across, and it's all handled very simplistically, with little more than random button mashing seeming to do the job. Here, you're playing as old Spidey as he battles his way through eight levels of mayhem, facing off against villains like Rhino, Doctor Octopus and Mysterio. It's not quite as bad as Amazing Spiderman but it's not as good as the old-school Questprobe text adventure, so fans might be better off there instead. Very different from the console title of the same name, this is a more child-oriented take on the classic webspinning hero but which is unfortunately pretty ropy, even given the lower standards by which most will measure it, given its audience.
