In one scenario, Spider-Man must race across town chasing Venom. There are loads of Spider-man specific levels, too. So, if you have ever played a platform game, such as Mario or Crash, for instance, you'll recognize the standard action-based puzzles, throngs of baddy attacks, and the all-too-familiar end-level bosses.
It seems that Neversoft wanted to create a standard platform/action game that was styled and tailored to Spider-Man's specific powers. In short, it's amazing how life-like, or should I say, "comic-like" Spider-man is. Players can literally do whatever a spider man can: shoot webs, create a web shield, form web cones on their hands, kick, punch, throw, sneak attack, tangle up enemies with a large shot of web, and shoot web balls. Using the evergreen Tony Hawk engine, or rather the totally revamped Apocalypse engine, Spider-Man is a piece of 3D engine genius. What players notice first about Spider-man is that, just like in the comics, he can swing around town on his web, and crawl on any single surface in the game.

From there, Spider-man must face a carnival of new and old villains, plus avoid the aggressive NYPD police department, which believes Spider-man is guilty of a crime he did not commit, as he plows through six large missions. Spider-Man is clearly set up, since Peter Parker is actually in the crowd watching as his double appears and steals Octavious' presentation right off the stage. The game assumes you know a bit about his past, and starts off with Spider-Man being framed during a public speech given by Doctor Octopus. For those unfamiliar with the most popular of Marvel's comic book characters, Spider-Man is the story of a young high school student who, one day in a scientific experiment, was accidently bitten by a radioactive spider, which gifted Peter Parker with super-human, spider-like abilities. Gameplay Following a rather traditional action/platform character formula, Spider-Man is an action game that follows the adventures of Peter Parker, a.k.a.

It's a big license game that plays well, and brings you into the world of Spider-Man just as if you were reading the comic book back in grade school. But despite these little problem spots, Spider-man is more than respectable, it's a phenomenon in videogame physics and presentation. It's too easy, oftentimes the camera angles are too complex for their own good, and the control leaves a little to be desired. Spider-Man is a great game, but it isn't perfect. From crawling skyscrapers to web slinging across city skies to tangling up opponents to crawling upside down in buildings, or pummeling opponents with web balls, this game makes you feel like Spider-Man. The team has created a title that enables you to do nearly everything Spider-man can do, and it feels nearly perfect. Neversoft didn't just hammer out an action game and slap a Spider-Man costume on it. I have waited for this moment since I first started playing videogames, which is saying something, because I began with the Atari 2600, and raised calluses on my hands with such classics as Asteroids and Defender in their first waves at the arcades.
#SPIDER MAN 2000 PS1 TV#
With this game, the teams have re-created the image of The Amazing Spider-man in an engaging, charming, and stylish platform/action game that truly brings out the best traits of the long-standing comic book, resurrecting his tarnished image from the horrible live-action TV show, a few off years in the comics, and every single bad Spider-Man game that has touched a console (i.e. In what is truly the best Spider-Man videogame that has ever graced a videogame system, Marvel, Activision, and Neversoft, the masters of PlayStation programming, have succeeded where no company has ever even come close.
