Rating: - A SURPRISINGLY GOOD GAME 8.5 OUT OF 10
This Spiderman game is actually good, which surprised me in some ways because of how well the controls work on a N64 controller, and fluidly the web-slinging and combat work.
WHAT THE GAME IS: Spiderman has to stop some of his worst enemies from destroying the world, while rescuing fellow super heroes. So your task is to defeat bad guys, web sling, avoid being shot at by helicopters, defeat surprisingly challenging bosses, and save the world.
GRAPHICS: Looks kinda dated, I've seen better on N64, but it looks fine.
MUSIC: Rock music plays in the background most of the time, and it has a good beat to it.
SOUND: Spiderman's one-liners, punching, kicking, enemies yelling random phrases, helicopters shooting, etc.
GAMEPLAY: Works very well on an N64 controller, and the controls are very fluid and responsive most of the time. However, I couldn't help but notice how difficult the bosses can be sometimes. Or there were instances in which the game would glitch, like when Rhino got trapped behind a barrel and I ended up punching him to death. And sometimes I found sticking to buildings during a web-sling to be tricky if you want to be in a certain position.
OVERALL: A very fun action game with fluid gameplay make up most of the faults within the game. It's a lot of fun to pick up and play, and highly recommendable for anyone's N64 library.
If you're a Spiderman fan, this game is definitely for you because of its gameplay, comic book-style cutscenes, and fun web-slinging mechanic, and a well-made combat system.
