For certain hard-to-reach areas that need to be zip-lined, players can switch to a first-person targeting view, aiming with either the keyboard or mouse.Īs players control Spidey throughout his adventure, they are aided by a series of helpful heads-up indicators. Players can also use Spider-Man’s zip-line ability to quickly shoot web-grappling hooks across rooms or surfaces, zipping in any direction at great speed. Spider-Man’s crawling abilities allow him to reach impossible areas when inside indoor areas, and the in-game camera compensates for this by making ceilings transparent or by turning the view accordingly. It’s like you have a pillow of invisible hooks right above you, allowing your alter-ego to ‘fly’ pretty much anywhere. On the other hand, the web swinging is pretty unrealistic. When out in the city, you can swing from building to building using webs, and can fall hundred of feet without getting hurt.
The power-ups are not required to complete the game, but because many of them are hidden, part of this title’s replayability comes in finding them all. Throughout the different levels, players can pick up over 20 special power-ups that add fighting-combos to Spider-Man’s arsenal, impressively performed through a combination of the different action keys or gamepad buttons. Most of the game takes place in the fighting third-person, with Spidey beating up enemies with punches, kicks, leaps, and his web moves. Along the way, familiar voiceovers from Tobey McGuire, Willem Dafoe, and Bruce Campbell add a sense of cinematic authenticity to the experience.Īt it’s heart, Spider-Man is a console port and has many of the same hiccups we’ve come to expect – odd controls, washed-out textures, simplified gameplay, but also a good deal of fun once you ditch the keyboard and hook up a gamepad. It’s up to Spider-Man to make the city of New York safe from the Green Goblin and the rest these menaces, both on the ground and in the air. As the “Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man,” Peter Parker faces the usual assortment of bad guys, from masked thugs and gangsters, to foot soldiers and robots. The story of the computer game Spider-Man loosely follows the plot of the film. Does everything a console Spider-Man can.
