Anyone familiar with spiderman lore can predict every single thing that happens in this game, and the story and gameplay are both mighty boring, but it's the best Spider-man before Spider-man 2. The swinging animations, tricks, quips etc. are all on point and it features most of the best villains - the rest will be in Spider-man 2 I'm sure.

As I said, the gameplay gets extremely boring fast - Spiderman is chock full of lazy, cliche, frustrating GTA style missions and neverending groups of dudes to beat up. That would be half ok except even with all skills unlocked, there really isn't a ton of variety in the combat. Especially once you are fighting every kind of enemy on screen and once and all enemies of the same type have to be dealt with the same way.

The story gets great in Act 2 - though predictable - and makes it worth playing by the end.
