Swinging and Fighting have never been so fun. The game from the get go has you flying all over the place fighting everything and everyone with you intense web action and acrobatical moves. The games is fast and intense and predictable for a game of this nature which is a good thing. If you go into this game expecting nothing but a silly story and fun gameplay, you will be entertained, but if you were looking for something deeper, this game is not for you. I went into the game not expecting much which made the game more enjoyable because the graphic and story are both a major dissapointment. In this day and age, you think good graphics was a requirement, but his game did not get the memo. It would be nice to see this game on HD with mind blowing visuals, but we are left with PS2 graphics. Though not a big problem, you can only wonder what the experience could of been like if they put more work in this department. Another problem is the story is not develped well or told well either. The gang wars in the beginning of the game seem very confusing and have no relevance to the game, but then Venom starts taking over the city and for some odd reason every villian is pulled in to this Venomous world with Wolverine along for the ride. It is best not to ask question why most of what is happening because they will not get answered. The good vs evil fight betwein the black sut and red and blue suit is quit interesting, but I do not like how they affect the ending. The good ending with Mary Jane is the most satisfying, while the black suit ending leaves you being the king of venom (the species, not the villian) which seems weird and the opposite of what the spiderman series stands for.
But over exaggerated boss battles like fightning Vulture Venom and his minion in the skies is very fun because you are just smashing buttons and watching spidey perform so beautiful moves. One major annoyance is battles do become repetitive and having to swing across the whole city to your next location is quite boring, pointless and unrewarding. The game overall would seem like a let down, but the game is too fun. The corniest also adds to the fun factor. Just no that the story will not be told in such a way that will touch the heart. If the game was able to add in realistic graphics and a better story, this game would been one of my favorites. This story had so much potential, but falls short. You never understand what Venom is trying to do in the city and you do not understand why any of the villians are their helping you and figthing you at the same time. The story is just awful, but I did not expect it to be good, just I can easily ignore it. If I were to rate this game with the story in mind, I would have to give this game a six.
