He has a silent film star's stillness and ability to emote with his eyes. The script finds plenty of excuses for that red mask to peel off - a very good thing, given Maguire's preternatural expressiveness. He's one of the best lensmen in Hollywood, and this widescreen DVD transfer effectively captures the pleasures of shots that tip over vertiginous skyscraper ledges, drift around characters in the throes of psychological turmoil or thrust the viewer within a fight raging on, around and in an uncontrolled train shooting towards an abyss.Īs in the original, Maguire effortlessly communicates an emotional center - he's the heart of the film. Raimi's directorial skill goes far beyond splatter. (Winks to Raimi's longtime fans are evident in sequences such as a brutally exultant hospital melee involving a chainsaw.) Raimi borrows brilliantly from his previous work in horror movies to raise the stakes and elevate the suspense. Havoc erupts, of course, and director Sam Raimi never once condescends to his audience as the films whips to a finish through the office canyons of New York. ("A guy with a name like Otto Octavius ends up with eight limbs," marvels the sleazy editor of the city's tabloid, the Daily Bugle. But an experiment gone awry leaves the good doctor stark raving mad, with his spinal column accessorized with a tangle of coiling mechanical arms. We meet him first as a brilliant scientist on the verge of adopting young Parker as a protégé. Otto Octavius (Alfred Molina), who puts everything in perspective. Aside from that, this entire game is amazing, and is overall one of the best superhero games I've ever played (if not the best).Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Tobey Maguire) tells his true love Mary Jane (Kirsten Dunst) that they can never be together.Įnter Dr. As a matter of fact, the only thing about this game that I don't like is the voice acting which is flat out terrible.

The story is pretty much the same as the movie that it's based on, but expanded with extra characters. I've seen far better graphics, but I've also seen far worse. As for the graphics, they're decent but not perfect.
The control has to make you feel like the hero that you're playing as, and this game does that perfectly too. This is another important thing I think about when playing a superhero game. It really makes you feel like you're Spider-Man. They can be anything from saving a person from falling, to stopping an armored car robbery. Along with that, in New York City itself, there are plenty of different crimes to fight. There are several missions for not only the story, but also jobs such as delivering Pizza, and taking pictures for the Daily Bugle. As a matter of fact, it's not only executed well, it's executed perfectly! It really does feel like a superhero Grand Theft Auto. Is this idea well executed? The answer is yes. Of course, the question on everyone's mouths is this. I'm surprised that the only other superheroes who've followed this formula are Batman (Batman: Arkham City), and Hulk (Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction). In other words, this game is a free-roaming game that allows you to roam around New York City, do story missions, and fight crime (basically a superhero Grand Theft Auto). This is exactly what I want from not just Spider-Man, but also every other comic book superhero.
This is exactly what I want from not I've played several Spider-Man games, and out of all of them, this one is still my all time favorite. I've played several Spider-Man games, and out of all of them, this one is still my all time favorite.
