About
Spider-Man is an action-adventure video game based on the Marvel Comics comic book series The Amazing Spider-Man, which features the fictional superhero Spider-Man. Although it features the likenesses and same voice actors, it is not based on the animated television shows from the 1990s. It was developed by Neversoft and published by Activision using the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater game engine for the PlayStation in 2000; the game was later ported by different developers to various systems including the Game Boy Color and Nintendo 64 that same year, as well as the Dreamcast and Microsoft Windows in 2001. The game follows Spider-Man as he is framed by a doppleganger for stealing a device created by a supposedly reformed Dr. Otto Octavious. The game features Venom, Carnage, Scorpion, Rhino, Mysterio and an exclusive-to-game Symbiote Doctor Octopus all as boss battles. Two direct sequels were released in 2001; one developed by Torus Games, Spider-Man 2: The Sinister Six, released for the Game Boy Color, and one developed by Vicarious Visions, Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro, released exclusively for the PlayStation. This game and its latter sequel feature narration from Spider-Man co-creator Stan Lee.

Spider-Man (2000) reviews and comments
Gameplay: 7
-first glimpse of limited open world spidey game
-multiple web moves makes for a decent variety
-although a shortish game (5 hour playthrough) has some replay-ability with collectibles and a complete separate What If? Mode which unlocks Easter Eggs in the regular story mode.
-Camera is biggest let down here and can be very frustrating not being able to control it, as well as a close up view most of the time
Graphics: 7
- holds up well for a PSX game although can notice some issues here and there
-does get hectic on screen when a lot of effects are going on (doc oc lvl)
Story: 5
-it’s alright for nostalgia but it really only deals with the main plot for the first episode and last episode, other then that you feel like you’re just jumping from comic issue to comic issue which I guess isn’t bad, but not a lot of meaningful story.
-game does give you a cannon reason why you’re not on the ground though and can’t roam the streets which is kinda cool
Soundtrack: 8
-one of the best parts of the game, lots of tracks are heavy grungish rock that really amp up the action gameplay and don’t get old quick so when you die and replay a lvl you’re fine to listen to it again.
