Introduction:Activision snatched up this movie franchise and has given us a new look into the Spider-Mans world. Following the plot of the movie Spiderman will battle the Green Goblin and more legions of evil. Read how this game fairs on our Extreme Gamer rankings.

The Game:Spider-Man the movie was a huge hit, which spawned the simulations release of the multi-console video game. I played a few good hours of Spider-Man and for what this game wanted to accomplish it did perfectly. There is also alot of bonus stuff included for the more avid spider-man fans. Spider-Man is an action title and it lives up to that aspect. Spider-Man is pure action and a tone of fun. I especially loved playing a comic book character that i have always loved. Compared to all the other games that have tried to capture the feel of a comic book character, Spider-Man has come off great. Spider-Man is the best adaptation of a comic book character to date.

"If you liked the movie pick this one up"
