I had this game for the game cube, elbow slam was my go to against goblin. The web dome burst would not work against him because he would rip right through it. Hell of a game.
The second game was an improvement in almost every way. But one thing that I prefer about the first game was the color. The second games color seemed bleak. Compare spider-man’s suits in both games and the first game looks so much more bright. Played the crap out of both as a kid.
The graphics and controls and you dont die if drop spider-man down technically you collapse the only thing that was better than 2 is the acting from the especially from Tobey Maguire was excellent in the first he really has good delivered jokes for people who complain he doesn't quip but he has great chemistry and great back and fourth with William dafoe who was just as excellent but also sells the quiet and serious moments but in the next game him and Kirsten dunst are bland as hell both of them as they are in the movies they both dont put any pation in their peformances alfred Molina Bruce Campbell and Josh Keaton do great jobs in voice acting in the game
If you liked the PS1 Spidermans, then you really loved this game. As a kid it felt like the same game, but way better graphics. Swinging was similar, you cant swing too low or die. You even had the same abilities like the web shield, web punches. I loved it
That's what it was like for me too. I started with the PS1 game then got the PS2 movie game. I didn't question why it was the same (the swinging, same abilities) but my child self found it easy to pick up and play as I already knew the PS1 game.
Finally a reviewer that actually does an in-depth analysis of the game. Usually this game’s swept under the rug as a lazy movie game where you swing on clouds and cant touch the street. But this game has a ton of charm to it with the cheats and endgame content that I feel is so underrated
Cloud swinging in this game gets unfair criticism. They improved upon the swinging from the previous spider man games where you couldn't even turn or change elevation while swinging. At that time, spiderman 2's swinging was not even a thing yet.
I vividly remember being in elementary school and going over to my friend’s house where I saw him playing this game. I was immediately sold and went out and bought an Xbox and this game with the money I had been saving up for years. Around 20 years later now, just hearing the sounds of gameplay and the soundtrack brings me right back. Those were years of happiness I don’t think I’ll ever be able to replicate.
One of my all-time favourites. Spent hours roaming around the first levels using different cheats like big head/big feet and the midget one. They even added hidden dialogue for Harry as GG in many scenes if you played as him for the main story. Developers used to be much more creative with keeping kids invested imo.
looking good and fun i think =) Better than 90% of the games realesed today :( many crap games.. developers want our money, in the early days they give us games that makes FUN
It's crazy how much effort went into making a movie game, of all things. Games like this will never be made again. Nowadays if you want extra content, you will have to pay for it
@@Bee_Mavrick no but that game was fantastic..I was thinking x2 wolverines revenge..If you bought the game you got a ticket to the movie when it came out..Movie was ass (okay for a kid as I was) but the game was awesome. Way better than a movie game had any right to be.
I grew up with this game it is so nostalgic and the PS2 graphics are just so amazing. Spider-Man 1 on PS2 is one of my favorite games ever. It has so much Raimi vibes to it. This gaming era is amazing and entertaining it's like revisiting your entire childhood seeing this. I remember playing this so many times. Great villains, Shocker, Green Goblin, Carjacker (uncle Ben's cold-blooded murderer is Flint Marko), Vulture and Scorpion (and Kraven if you play Xbox). Very captivating entry. And honestly as web swinging goes this one takes the cake it's so fluent, fun and free-roaming. Tobey is the one who get webs in his wrist by DNA after all. Being bit by a spider turned him into something unstoppable. The stealth mission at Oscorp is terrifying those robots were so vicious and spooky if they catch you. The beautiful music also brought so much life to this title, the funny and lighthearted voice acting but it also has a serious tone in the storytelling. Gameplay is fun. The cinematics are unique. Tobey is the most underappreciated Spider-Man/Peter Parker alive. He's the legendary OG so much ambition and hard work Maguire put in his role. Level designs are good. Puzzles are fun. The thing I didn't like about these newer Spider-Man games is that you swing way too much in the city it gets tedious, annoying and frustrating. While here it's limited and restricted which is such a positive and doesn't take anything away from the experience.
Even today, the game is still very visually appealing. The cutscenes look good and the gameplay venues are bright and detailed. The music is also a huge plus. It expands on the great soundtrack from the movie and keeps you feeling heroic.
@@NolanWinsAnother Another Fun Fact: Vulture’s VA, Dwight Schultz reprised his role in Spider Man 2018, 16 years after playing the character in this game
I just got hit by a wave of nostalgia with all the thug noises. I think this and SM2 games is why a lot of people love Tobey, he could be quippy and tell jokes if you let him. He's hilarious in these games.
I had no idea about the goblin story! I remember using cheats to play as him because I was obsessed with videogame magazines but I never even thought about playing the full game like that. Games these days don't do cool things like that anymore, no secrets and most game devs take things way too seriously instead of giving us fun, even if a bit broken, things to play with. Great video, keep it up!
The only level that was hard for me was the Oscorp stealth mission and dude if you get caught the robot guards have aimbot and you will do alot of damage 😂😂😂 and I haven't finished the game since 2007 on og Xbox
This was the first ever game i played. I love it to this day. Also, i knew that Kraven level existed. I couldnt figure out which spider-man game it came from. It all makes sense now why i couldnt find it 😅😅😅
I remember having this pre-ordered back in 2002 when I was in 8th or 9th grade. This game was lit back in the day. I remember taking this to some friend’s houses and they were blown away by the graphics and combos.
Well, when i was kid, until now. This game still cool even though the web stickin' in the air. That combo lists actually the coolest at that time, plus Spider-Man (2000) Neversoft vibes.
Ahh yes! The memories. The level with Oscorp gave me anxiety though. The playstation 1 spiderman game has a special place in my heart above all of the other spiderman games.
Absolutely does. You can play as green goblin. I don't even need to watch the video to know the result. The game was way ahead of its time. If it had open world, it would've been legendary
Just completed it first time. And it OK. Bomb defusal mission was a nightmare, so as the stealth missions. Controls feel very janky. But the boss fights were good thou. 5.5/6-10 . Maybe i would give it a 7 if i was playing on normal(it was a living nightmare to play it on "hero").
I played this game so much on the original Xbox, and I was able to play the Kraven levels as a result. The fact that Tobey Maguire and Willem Dafoe voice their respective characters, the other villains in the game, memorable quotes and music, the playable Green Goblin, and others give this game so much value. I'll never forget the Oscorp stealth missions scaring the crap out of me the first time I played them. I don't have a problem with them now obviously, and I have even screwed around on said levels. Also worth mentioning is that there was also a cheat code for Mary Jane Watson, but it was cut from later versions of the game due to the lesbian depiction of the two MJs kissing. Spider-Man: The Movie Game I will always treasure. It's just a sad reality that it tends to be overshadowed by tons of the more recent Spider-Man games.
Fun Fact: Green Goblin wasn't used in the previous ps1 games due to Sony forbidding neversoft from using him because of the upcoming Raimi movie. He was going to be used for the third game as the main antagonist but the success of the Raimi movie got the third planned installment cancelled in favor of a Raimi tie-in game, where assets and animations and story elements from the unreleased third game were used for the first Raimi game. Spidey's attacks are all reused animations from the ps1 games. Also, we were supposed to get Kraven and Vulture in the third game, since they never appeared in the ps1 games yet, but were used instead for the Raimi game (with kraven being exclusive to the Xbox version).
The swinging wasn't down to technical limitations, it was due to time constraints. Spider-Man 2 had real, physics based swinging on the same consoles as the first game
I'm a great game player and I'm really great at hand to hand combat with the goblin and everyone else. you have to fight theme a surtint way. If i start doing some videos ill probably show you. And I'm very fansy on the game as well
This was my first GameCube game and it blew my mind, coming from ps1, n64 and Dreamcast the graphics and audio were just crazy to me, and the gameplay was so far beyond the Spider-Man game I owned on Dreamcast.
Dude I remember going up vultures tower the most mainly because as a kid I found it so damn annoying and took me days to finish it I mean I was a kid ok it just took me forever
The PS game was epic. While younger me wasn’t thinking about “production value,” adult me recognizes how this game had it in spades…. I still remember going through it just to play as the Goblin, something today would have been “paid DLC….”
Top 5 best spider man games in my opinion: 5. Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions 4. Marvel’s Spider-Man 3. Ultimate Spider-Man 2. Spider-Man: The Movie Game 1. Spider-Man: Web of Shadows
One of my favorite videogames ever! I played this game till it couldn't load anymore and then I bought it again. I sincerely enjoy today playing this game even more than Spider Man 2 or 3.
Still have my Xbox copy of the game. I was 8 when it dropped on consoles. I spent a lot of time trying to get Spider-Man on the ground. Then Spider-Man 2 came out and I found out you could land on the street. It blew my mind.
One of my first gaming experiences, loved this game growing up
It's so good
@Mosey soon as I heard the clip of a guy saying 'so the freak wants to play' I was transported
@James Ibbetson this game was the first I ever played and like you said those quotes bring me right back
Same. I used play this game before I even knew how to read. I'm 22 years old rn.
I had this game for the game cube, elbow slam was my go to against goblin. The web dome burst would not work against him because he would rip right through it. Hell of a game.

One of my fav GameCube games!! 🕷️ 😎
Brought back so many memories with this on Friend 🤣😂🤣😂👍
This was a good game I played it 21 years ago in middle school.
Man, this and the second game will be forever in my S+ tier.

That's why I prefer the PS1 games. Since the gameplay doesn't change, PS1's more cartoony graphics have way more personality in my opinion.
the enemy even has a similarity (the one who wield dual gun). And how the spidey can lift and throw object, that's straight from the PS1 game.
and you could learn NEW moves!! my absolute favorite
Yep, Spider-Man PS1 is the goat of Spider-Man games
I'll never forget the woman that lost her purse on a NYC rooftop tour, and playing as Goblin running at super speed was my favorite thing.

I still to this day save this game in a case, lost my sm2 game so ordered it and play it a couple time on the 360 i have
One of my all-time favourites. Spent hours roaming around the first levels using different cheats like big head/big feet and the midget one. They even added hidden dialogue for Harry as GG in many scenes if you played as him for the main story.
Developers used to be much more creative with keeping kids invested imo.
Back when you had to get cheat codes out of the books at school book fairs Lmao
looking good and fun i think =)
Better than 90% of the games realesed today :( many crap games.. developers want our money, in the early days they give us games that makes FUN

My childhood. I remember being so scared of the stealth missions
*has vietnam flashbacks of the spider-man 2 psp museum level*
Dudeee me to I hated that mission called breaking & entering lol 😂
Glad i’m not the only one haha! I would have been about 7 when i had this on my gamecube. Genuine adrenaline!
Mee too. The ominous dark spots. Trying not alert the enemies. Then eventually having to fight them.
The graphics are kinda not that bad at all after all these years. I love the shadows outside of the pixelated faces.

Another Fun Fact he was actually originally cast in this game to voice Spider-Man until they decided to use Tobey so they gave him Harry instead
also true

The reason he can swing through the sky is because Uncle Ben is catching his web lines from Heaven.

That crap whooped my ass as a kid 🤣
I HATED that mission Lmaoo
Instant nostalgia. This game rocks, every part of it is amazing
Masterpiece.
This game and Spider-Man 2 need a remaster
I actually prefer the swinging from the sky. Call me nostalgic :)
Those stealth missions are a bane of my existence as a kid. Though I did beat them eventually when I was 10
This was the first ever game i played. I love it to this day. Also, i knew that Kraven level existed. I couldnt figure out which spider-man game it came from. It all makes sense now why i couldnt find it 😅😅😅
Ash of Evil Dead does the VO for the tutorial, Sam Ramj to thank for it.
Only problem is that the swinging always looked silly.
In a world before spiderman 2, it was alright
I hated playing the Oscorp levels🤣 Hardest shit ever
This anime was the best part of growing up in the hood
Holy shit, I didn't know those minigames and special details existed!
Nostalgia pops up everytime I remember this game :')
Fun Fact: Josh Keaton (spectacular Spider-Man voice actor) voices Harry Osborn in this game
The VHS certainly still holds up.
This was definitely a masterpiece

Ahh yes! The memories. The level with Oscorp gave me anxiety though. The playstation 1 spiderman game has a special place in my heart above all of the other spiderman games.
Wait you could actually throw enemies around in this game without shooting a million webs at them first? They need to remaster this game.

don’t even have to watch the video. the answer is yes. STILL a badass game, and even better when you put in a cheat code to play as the green goblin.
This the only spider-man thats fun and still enjoy it today
Tobey Maguire was a better Spider-Man in these games than he was in the movies.
I played the shit out of this favorite part was unlocking green goblin
On the Spider-Man ps4 game you can’t even throw cars 😢
This was my first GameCube game and it blew my mind, coming from ps1, n64 and Dreamcast the graphics and audio were just crazy to me, and the gameplay was so far beyond the Spider-Man game I owned on Dreamcast.
I’d give a lot to play this again…
The reason why you can’t go to the ground in the city is because the game was released before the movie
I just realised that Vulture in the game has the same voice as Dr Animo from Ben 10
What? Did ya get your driver's license in a cereal box?!
Hearing “Looks like the freak wants to play” hit me so hard.
Absolutely. Amazing game on XBOX OG.
My opinion, the spiderman part doesn't, playing as green goblin does
I dont even have to watch this video to answer yes "Looks like the freak wants to play"
Dude I remember going up vultures tower the most mainly because as a kid I found it so damn annoying and took me days to finish it I mean I was a kid ok it just took me forever
You can actually play the whole game as the Goblin? Nuff said, that alone makes it almost better than the sequel game.
I never did finish it back then I always thought it was hard
Wtf I never knew you could play at the goblin 🤬
My first PS2 game before kingdom hearts
Spider-Man web of shadows was hands down the best spidey game.
What a genius idea of posting a video of an incredible game ! 👍👍
nice video also
Me and my dad played this together on the original Xbox.
aww man that vulture mission gives me pstd
was so hard to complete as a kid
Dude, Goblin was just tossing around MJ

The ps2 was the very first console I've played on. And this is the first spiderman game I've ever played

Oh yes!!! Wow forgot bout that
vulture fight and green goblin first fight are the best level
why is video game toby funnier then movie toby?

The first 3 levels were icing on the cake.
Played it on ps2 when i was a kid. good times
Yeah you kinda feel this would of been Spiderman 3 continuing from the ps1 games. but had to make it movie based instead of its own thing.
i was so trash at this game back in the day
i can't believe this sucked up my life at one point
