Spider-Man: The Movie

Reviewed by:

If you’re like us, and you don’t want to wait for the release of Spider-Man to see a rubber-clad Willem Dafoe get his ass handed to him, Activision’s game based on the guaranteed-blockbuster movie packs the same thrills. Unlike most movie-themed video games, this one, shockingly, doesn’t suck. Most of the scenes from the flick seem to have been amazingly re-created, especially some towering web-slinging that’ll send acrophobics scrambling for a handrail. But even those wusses will keep playing, if just because it’ll be the closest they’ll ever get to Kirsten Dunst—or, at least, a reasonable facsimile.

[Editor’s Note: Bragging rights alert for Xbox owners—that version features some hidden gems not available on the others, including bonus levels and additional villain Kraven the Hunter!]
