If my Spidey-sense had been working I would have avoided this game altogether.
"But I bought a Wii...I don't care about graphics"....well lets just say the gameplay doesn't do much to redeem itself. The best thing about the game would have to be webslinging. You use the nunchuck and wiimote to shoot webs. However...this is flawed and for the most part you'll find yourself careening into buildings. You'd expect that if you shot a web with your left hand out toward the left it would cling to a building on your left....WHY AM I SWINGING TOWARD THE RIGHT?!?
COMBAT: Eww. Combat consists of...remote wiggling. Yep...they come up with the brilliant idea of using the remotes as your webshooters but when it comes to combat you're stuck waving your wrist around as your character punches faceless baddies. And what's worse is that your combat options are so limited. He's Spider-Man for crying out loud...shouldn't webbing be more implemented into his combat? The end result is tired arms and boring fighting. Sound: Music is decent at times. But voice overs sound tired or horribly overacted. It's also insanely glitchy. After completing a mission there's usually dead silence for about 3 minutes before you hear voices and music again. On top of that certain characters will speak with voices that don't fit their appearance at all. Oh and expect to hear the same cheesy one liners over and over again. Difficulty: For the most part the game is very easy. Except when you get to the final showdown. First you fight a short little battle with Sandman. After that you're face to face with Venom racing the clock because MJ is suspended from a web in a taxi cab about to fall. Harry shows up to help save her but for some reason decides to wait until you kick Venom around a bit. Needless to say it took me several hours to defeat Venom before MJ fell to her death. When I finally did this...I found myself battling Sandman again...WAIT didn't he just blow up?! After beating him yet again you find yourself....FIGHTING VENOM AGAIN?!?! The only good news this time is...you're not racing the clock. And then...that's it. The game is over pretty quickly. I guess the developers thought that if the game is gonna be short they might as well make it go from incredibly easy to (literally) painfully difficult. Overall: After the movie storyline is completed there's still plenty of stuff to do in the game. But God help you if you can find any reason to do any of it. Gang missions are repetitive and boring. Each gang has some strange quirk or funny accent and usually like to either put bombs on the roofs of buildings or lock innocent people in dumpsters or vans. And fighting the gang members just isn't fun when your combat is so limited. No, after defeating Venom for the second and final time you'll just find yourself with sore arms and the desire to take this game in to your local game trader.
