Let me make this clear, I've read some of the reviews on here and unlike most of them, I'll explain why it deserves a 5 out of 5.
This is the very first Spider-Man game where you actually utilize all of his powers and abilities. The biggest hurdle was the ability to web swing and I'll have to say that the physics envolved with that is top notch. That over-rides any graphics flaws that some have pointed out.
You have to keep in mind that if they FOCUSED on amazing graphics, then one of two things would happen:
A - The price point of the game would go up
B - The playing environment would shrink
C - The game engine (fun factor) would be limited
If you consider the fact that they have in-game movies that scoots you along the film's story line and that you can team up with Black Cat, I'd say that makes for a well rounded game.
You know a game is good when just swinging around the city and performing acrobatic feats will keep you amused. The civilian missions do get repetitive though. They try to throw in some variety there with saving a balloon for a kid and delivering pizza. Other than that, for once in my video game life, I actually felt like I was the web slinger himself. That's how good this game is. If you actually read his comic books, then you won't be disappointed. They have his moves and attacks on point!
