Not good! Better than Acclaim's try, but not as good as Web of Fire. Which is a bad game! Spider-Man is funie and brings me serotonin though so of course here I am again
First things first, this game's timer is meaningless. You can completely ignore that, it's not 24 hours in real time but it's more than lenient. Except when you actually reach the bomb, and you have to put the keys in the right order (which to my knowledge is never revealed, and was not the same as on a video guide I found).
What you need to worry about instead is piss and shit enemies and bosses, which encompasses most of them. Many guys will just fire bullets forever and there's like hardly any room to get closer and knock them down. Good luck if they're on a ledge, trying to get up there while they keep firing is a nightmare and you WILL have to on multiple occasions. Bosses are lousy, they're really simple but they'll kick your head in unless you find a way to stunlock them or just find a safe spot somehow.
Kingpin is the worst because his hitbox is like a fraction of his size and you have an actually strict time limit to deal with (unrelated to the bomb), and it sends your ass all the way back to the Sega screen if you don't do it in time. What the fuck is that all about? Not even a continue? Like the fucking rest of the game???
I don't know what was going on with Spider-Man games back then, even Maximum Carnage is no better than just alright. It's kind of becoming an in-joke with a couple of my friends at this rate. Maybe there's a good one buried somewhere, but I'm kind of beginning to doubt there were any before the Raimi movies came along.
