Swinging around NY is a dream come true...but it quickly turns into a nightmare

Yes, i knew it was a movie based game when i got it but what can i say im a spider-man junkie. Swinging around the rooftops of new york is like a dream come true. The story is pretty decent and offers a lot to do around the city. The graphics are good enough, and heck, even the voice acting is passible. In the end though, there is no excuse for this game.

By this generation of consoles, developers should be able to get a camera right. The camera bounces around so much I thought I was having seizures at times.

The combos are slightly delayed from the button pressing, which can lead to many missed hits and more than a few times the combos keep going after you stop pressing. Gotta love being left wide open to hits from behind.

Spider sense...while working great in spider-man 2 is all messed up in this installment. the icons appear over the enemies' heads not spider-mans and the sense button needs pressed well prior to the attack or it doesnt dodge.

Perhaps one of my biggest gripes, though, is that i constantly got my butt handed to me by girls. Did i forget to use my spider-strength or what?

All in all its fun swinging around and is a rental at best. The sloppiness has potential to keep even hardcore spider-man fans away though.

i've played this a little more since i wrote this review and i must say...im trying to like it...i force myself to play...yes i hafta force myself bc the more i play this game...the more i hate it
