cimerians Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Anyone have a favorite? I'm looking to play one and I'll even go back to the 16 bit era to play through a game. I just never have played too many of them since in the old days most superhero games weren't that great. Games I played: Spider-Man PS1\Dreamcast Spider-Man 1(film): PS2\Xbox SM: Friend or Foe SM: Web of Shadows I heard Spiderman 2(film) PS2\Xbox is a good one since it's open world etc. Does it still hold up today? I remember the Sega arcade game Spider Man..I thought it was pretty cool. Black Cat was in it and I think Hawkeye: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Dart Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 That arcade game was pretty good, yeah. SM2 on Xbox is fun, has the best combat of the open-world games, but there are only so many missions & they get repetitive. You better like hearing Niecy Nash yell while you collect balloons, because you'll do a lot of that. My favorites are the old MS-DOS game "The Amazing Spider-Man", and Spider-Man 1 and 2 on PS1. Play the converted European release of Spider-Man 2 on PS1 if you can; you get to wreck the trade center towers in a boss fight. They modified them in the US release so they wouldn't be recognizable.

raskar42 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 My favorite is (2000) Spider-man for the ps1. I like the action and the story and for me it's the first time you can actually move like Spider-Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drixxel Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I'm quite partial to Spider-Man/X-Men: Arcade's Revenge on SNES, myself. The Spider-Man levels in particular are quite enjoyable, and while web swinging takes a bit of getting used to, it works a whole lot better than, well, every other Spider-Man platformer I can think of.

Lentzquest Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Marvel Ultimate Alliance: Gold Edition for the 360. It's not specifically a Spiderman game, but you can definitely make it one depending on how you build your team. Several of Spidey's enemies turn up throughout the game as bosses too. I can think of Mysterio, Shocker, Rhino, and Arcade just off the top of my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cimerians Posted September 24, 2013 Author Share Posted September 24, 2013 Cool thanks for the info. Will be looking at all that stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BydoEmpire Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 My favorite has always been Spiderman for the 2600. Unique gameplay, easy to get into but gets really challenging in later levels. Good difficulty curve. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cimerians Posted September 25, 2013 Author Share Posted September 25, 2013 Forgot about Ultimate Spider Man....I think I have that on Xbox but never played it. Seems there are a lot of games that Spidey is in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eltigro Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 I think the only Spiderman game I've ever played was on the Game Gear... and it was only for about an hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DZ-Jay Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 This is not too "retro," but the best Spider-Man game, in my opinion, is Spider-Man 2 for the PS2. It had an open-ended game style, like Grand Theft Auto, where you run around the city picking up missions to advance the story. However, the coup de grace, the brilliancy of the entire endeavor, was that you could swing on your webs thought the entire city! I loved that game, and spent many hours just diving off the top of skyscrapers, and throwing a web at the last minute before hitting ground, and just flip and roll through the streets of Manhattan with style. That was awesome! I haven't encountered another Spider-Man game that offers the same intuitive and fun control mechanism that makes it feel so realistic. Spinning webs, climbing buildings, performing aerobatics through the city is what I always imagined being Spider-Man should feel like. Plus the game had Bruce Campbell as the snarky narrator, and Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker. You can't go wrong with that! dZ. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93iLSNQpUi8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cimerians Posted October 9, 2013 Author Share Posted October 9, 2013 This one? It seems Spider Man 2 on PS2\Xbox gets a ton of votes on the webs. I tried SpiderMan on PC MS-DOS like Rex Dart mentioned. It's actually a pretty good puzzle platformer but the controls need to be gotten used to.

madmax2069 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 (edited) I always enjoyed playing maximum carnage on the SNES, I've never played the Genesis version (I can only imagine it plays the same).

PFL Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I can't remember what it's called but the first Spiderman game on the NDS was great. Cell shaded graphics and side scrolling beat em up action. That was a seriously good game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
