It looks rough on the Wii, and I'm dying to play the Xbox 360 version when I get one, but even still, I enjoyed the fresh approach to playing as Spider-Man. Swinging is basically the same as in the first movie tie-in game back in 2002 (at least for the Wii version) so it's not a problem for me as long as the controls are responsive.

At first I was disappointed by the fighting, which is mostly based on timing and then Spidey does everything else for you, but when I learning to mix things up I enjoyed shaking the Wiimote on time and watching him beat robots, freaks and crooks up.

Can't help but feel a little robbed when I watch the gameplays of the other versions but I have FOUR other games that have that (SM, SM2, SM3, Ultimate, Web of Shadows) so I kinda appreciated just going straight into missions.

Unexpectedly, I got really into it and enjoyed the plot a lot. It was better than the movie's. Wish we could have see this on the big screen instead, Garfield would have better reputation as Spider-Man.
