OK True believers, it’s time to review another Spider-Game.
Spider-Man 3 was one of the few movie games to actually be good. In fact it was better than the movie! It’s a solid evolution on Spider-games and and the Spider-physics are solid. Web slinging is fluid and fun, the open world is fairly large with tons of different activities, races and side quests. There is a consistent theme among all great Spider-games and this game did a good job at checking everything off the list.
How to make a great Spider-Game
- Voice over from Stan Lee or Tutorial from Bruce Campbell.
All great spider-games have a voice cameo from one of these pop culture rock stars. - Open world game play and free roam activities.
Any spider-game that only consists of linear mission based game play is a disappointment. - Mainstream Spider-Villains
My commonsense is tingling! If I am going to play through a spider-game I require the “A” list villains. Doc Oc, King Pin, The Lizard, Mysterio, Rhino etc, etc. - Keep the physics and mechanics tight.
No one wants to accidentally stick to a wall in the middle of battle or swing left when they’re trying to web right.
The only things wrong with this game were the story, voice acting and some of the characters. Basically anything based on the movie. Don’t get me wrong, the movies are good but as a game it just didn’t work….
I don’t want to play a game where I’m Tobey MaGuire …. Hell, Tobey MaGuire doesn’t want to be Toby Macguire.
Plus the 2 biggest villains in this game (Venom & Goblin) are played by the potheads from “That 70’s show” and “Pineapple Express”.
Then there is Mary Jane played by Kirsten Dunst…… Kirsten Dunst? I mean, she is pretty but she’s no Mary Jane. That’s like casting Arnold Schwarzenegger as Peter Parker.
To summarize. It was a good game based on a good movie but when you put the 2 together it just didn’t work. For example, peanut butter’s good and steak is good but peanut butter on steak is not…. It just doesn’t work. Nuf Said.
