I'm already at full health!

This is a good game with some issues, it has a janky camera that follows the view of your character but only when standing still, combat controls that don't feel as responsive as they should and pretty much faked dualshock support. However, the game has interesting and some surprisingly big levels, boss fights with iconic villains that can be a little odd but fun nonetheless, writing that reminded me of watching the cartoons as a kid and it doesn't overstay its welcome. As a bonus, the levels have many secrets with unlockable extras, mostly for viewing galleries with some art and character bios but also alternate costumes!

The soundtrack is pretty funky, certainly something that you would only get on games from its time and I really like it, there's also cameos from a bunch of different Marvel heroes which are all just there to be silly, puts a smile on you. Voice acting is of mostly average quality but they really nailed it with Spider-Man and Venom, enjoyed listening to them the most along with Stan Lee as the narrator, he's not heard often but it's always a joy.

I can very much see why people enjoyed this game so much back then, especially as children, it has the right vibe for someone that likes the silly of Spider-Man and is still pretty playable once you get used to the controls, it's fun.
