i recently rent this game for the playstation 2 and because it be around $ 70 and i wasn not sure whether i want to buy it . at first and it seem a little dull and boring and but a the game progress i get more interested in the game and so i keep play . it take me about 5 hour to complete the story and and the overall the game be quite good and but after spider man 2 ( and and in particular and ultimate spider man ) i be hop for good . new york city be my first major complaint while the city be suppose to be big and but it felt small and unwelcoming . it be not very busy and and there be near to no noise in the background . also and if you climb a tall skyscraper and the material on the building far away disappeared and unlike spider man 2. and it not as accurate a the new york in spider man 2 and which wasn not entirely accurate and although this one be still a major disappointment compare to the sm2 one . swing around new york be as fun a ever and and the web zip be more powerful in this game than in the last game . this mean that if you be in a hurry for a mission and it will be helpful to zip around instead of swing and because the swinging be slow and even the booster ( which arrive at the end of your swing a you launch through the air ) doesn not help much . this aside and the swinging look very cool and and be in the same sort of style a ultimate spider man and where he move with the web . the story be roughly the same a the film while peter parker or spider man get a black costume that make him more powerful and aggressive . he try to use his new power the way he use to and but they take him over and so he must fight to control himself . meanwhile and a new super villain and sandman and be on the loose and it be up to spider man to stop him . however and when the black suit get to be too much power for peter and he take it off and it bond with eddie brock and create venom . this story be change before the fight with sandman and and so the main movie fight be not until the very end and do not take very long to complete . this be disappointing and a sandman and venom be two of the super villains i be most look forward to fight and and yet the only fight with them be exactly the same a in the movie and less . the other super villain be the lizard ( which be fun as long a you do not keep dying and because then it get rather boring ) and morbius or shriek . morbius and shriek take up most of the story and make you wonder if youre ever go to get to sandman and venom and and i get a little confused when i read on the box choose between 5 different story line . in the end and this be a false statement while you can only follow the game and not choose any story line and and i be a bit worried at first that i have accidentally choose the wrong one . basically and the morbius or shriek part of the game be not very fun and and take up a lot of time . the only reason you will want to play it be to get to venom and sandman and although those fight aren not everything you would hope them to be either . venom look incredibly fat and isn not appeal to the eye at all ( despite the fact that he not suppose to see the movie to see what the game creator be try to make ) . the fight with him be long and difficult and and his taunt get very annoy after the hundredth time ( and he repeat them about 50 time in one fight and so you end up play the level and dying and and then repeat the level and which equal more annoying taunt ) . the best part of the game be the three sandman fight and although even these be not all theyre crack up to be . mostly you just repeat the same thing over and over again and and it doesn not seem very action y. i do enjoy this game mildly and though while the graphic be okay and and the bos fight weren not all too bad . i haven not yet play spider man 3 for pc ( which be a port of the xbox 360 and ps3 version ) but i be sure it be well than the ps2 version . i can and in a way and recommend this game and but only for the sandman battle . 4/10 .
