Wow, So, the last time I played this game was like 2011/2012-ish, I don't remember liking this game at all back in the day, I remember being too hard for me even compared to Super Mario Bros. 3.
I just couldn't get through the "Green Goblin" levels, and used to get my fun out through Cheats.
Now playing this title again, I can assure you that This is a Great title. No, It's not a Sh!t-post.
The quality of this game is surprisingly High, I liked the variety in the combat, the design of the levels are well made, the little details of Spidey hiding in the dark areas and the stupid stuff like the game realizing it's limitations and mocking it in most of the levels were fun, even the hardest of Levels that I had problems with when I was younger were very easy to pass.
Then you got the Content which is also surprising. a Beat'em Up-esque side games were fun and they're throwing more enemies at you than the Main-Story itself
Hidden boss fight and stuff like that, the rest of the Side-Mini games do resemble the side missions of the later Open world games like Ring and Time challenge.
You can Also play as the GREEN GOBLIN!!! Complete with lines recorded from former VA of Spider-man "in the game" before Maguire got on board with the project, Making it feel like a different story when playing with the Goblin. Playing as the Green Goblin felt so brutally satisfying after you beat the game on Hard and well deserved too.
My few Cons on this title is: 1> The webbing-bar is annoying and useless to include when Tobey's Spider-man already got organic web.
2> I really don't know how does the Camera programmer can sleep at night knowing how F#<King Awful of job was done. It was literally causing me more than 80% of my deaths in this game, It is very obnoxious and a Pain to deal with.
Surprise Surprise, Most of the negative that comes from this game is because of the Camera, Honestly, how hard was it to develop a camera for a 3D game in the early 2000s? You already had an entire Generation previously to figure it out. By that point, no wonder why this game got very average reviews when it came out.
