Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The last few years have seen a big mess of Spider-man.Films, games based on films...And that killed the games based on the comics.While this game takes more of a comic inspired approach, they go their own way with the story and some other details. Ill let you know what I thought they ddi right, and what they completely burned to the ground.
First off, Wii owners did NOT get a bad port of a PS2 version for once.You get just about everything that the Xbox360/PS3 get, minus the obviously superior graphics.Lets start there-The graphics are not bad.Not the best Ive seen on a Wii game, but it has a much better character model then Spider-Man 3, pretty smooth animations,and a not entirely but still kinda sucky camera. It can slow down a lot in high number fights, but for the most part its smooth.
Controls on a Wii game can make but usually break it.Besides one problem that will pop up frequently, the controls work and feel pretty natural after the small learning curve.With experimentation you will find that Spider-Man has quite a few cool things he can do with the enviornment with the right timing and button, many based on his comic book signature moves. Jump towards a wall, push against it and let go, you will kick off the wall jumping into the air again. Jump at a wall and hit the jump button again on impact, and you will stick to the wall in a classic pose until you release the button. Major comic fans will ove these little things.
There is basically a button for punching, jumping,interacting and using webs followed by waggle control for lock ons, costume switching, web chain attacks, web zips, and just normal web-swinging.
Pros-the combat system is amazing, as it allows you to chain hundreds of attacks together through the air to the ground to the walls.Web swinging is simple and fun again, and does'nt use the horrible nunchuk like SM3.
Cons-You flick the nunchuk left or right to change costumes, and down to lock on to enemies.You should be used to nunchuk waggle controls sucking, and if you arent, well this sucks.You will lock on when trying to change costumes or vice versa in some very bad times.
The storyline is pretty basic, and is really just a way to give you more missions which are pretty much kill everything in sight or save someone.Throw in some cool boss fights, and thats the game.Yes, you will fight a lot.Besides collecting tokens to improve speed and strength, you will most often fight.Did I get it in your head yet? FIGHT.It will bore some people.You can skip most of the side missions if you want so that you fight LESS, butyou get the idea.If anything once in a while they could have added a cool button sequence rescue like what was in ultimate spidermans storyline sometimes,so lets hope for some improvememnt here in the future.The list of other characters that you meet or mention is a great bonus for marvel readers though.You even get quizzed on spidey knowledge at one point.Nice.
There are a few glitches in the game that i have to mention.Number one is the buzzing freeze, no explanation needed.I didnt get this untill later on in the game, but it sucks.Other epople online have reported things that vanish, missions that dont show up or parts of missions that dont show up, which allow you to never move on unless you reload the game-I have not seen any of this, but I thought I might as well mention it.
Oddball details will occur-Venom is mentioned as Eddie, even though he looks based on the new scorpion venom design.Things like this make it hard to place exactly when this occurs(though its not canon by any account). But overall, I have had fun with this game and plan on replaying it to get the different ending.It could be better, but is in my opinion the best spider-man game we have to date.
