Spider-Man: The Movie

"Spider-Man: The Movie for the PS2 doesn't hold up to its console brothers. Its graphical flaws and long load times keep the superhero from escaping the web of PS2 programming problems. Still, swinging around as Spider-Man has never really been this cool before, and this version is still worth a rental."

"It's clear that Treyarch wasn't content with merely bringing a Spider-Man game to the PS2, instead focusing on creating a game that would be enjoyable even without the license. The gameplay is intuitive and the formula is familiar, though it also helps that the game draws a lot from the upcoming movie."

"Spider-Man: The Movie seems like a bigger and better version of previous Activision Spider-Man games, and for the most part, that's true."

"While the game offers the same style of gameplay as its predecessors, there have been some slick additions."

"An encouraging, yet problematic, stab at the superhero videogame that's much more than a simple cash-in of the movie."
