This is how you make a movie tie in, you take something cool about the premise of the film, loosely follow the narrative, but make your focus on skewing the film into an interesting game idea. The interesting thing about Spiderman is not punching dudes in the face, every video game in the world is about punching dudes in the face. But how many games are about using an unlimited amount of ropes to swing around New York City at high speeds doing hero stuff?

The web swinging in this game is awesome and it is so fun to just swing around doing races that it overshadows the poor channeling of the films plot, clunky fight controls that aren't all that fun, and Toby Maguire showing that if he tries hard enough he can indeed be a worse actor. 5/5
