Spider-Man

"...this looks to be the most promising cartoon-based personal computer game of all time. What with great authenticity, an intriguing story, wonderful graphics and sound, and smooth control, Activision would have to make a major blunder between now and the projected release date Spider-Man from being a hit with fans and critics alike."

"Spider-Man is a highly authentic and enjoyable release that fully captures the spirit of the comic book hero. The action is fast-paced and well-staged, and you really become absorbed in the virtual world of the famous arachnid. But two major deficiencies -- in the control system and the camera work -- almost succeed in ruining this title. While the replay value is not high, if what you want is to an action-packed romp through Spider-Man's world, you will find virtually complete fulfillment here."

"This game takes about as much time as reading a few twenty-page comics. There's a lot of variety in those three and a half hours, but unfortunately not enough."

"I had high hopes for the PC version of Spider-Man, but the game failed to deliver on several levels. Unless you’re a big fan of the Marvel Comics superhero, you might want to avoid getting stuck in this web."

"Spider-Man might have been a great game for the Playstation console, but it has arrived on the PC with less than stellar results. While being able to play as Spider-Man is certainly cool, and the game does have its fun moments, there's also a lot of frustration and disappointment to experience."
