Whether you're a fan from the '60s or not even remotely familiar with the Spider-Man comic, you will get caught in his web. You'll see that despite its few flaws and the limitations of the PlayStation hardware, Spider-Man is the best based-on-a-superhero video game ever released.
A crime has been committed and (as often happens) our hero has been framed. As the game progresses, you'll find that all is not as it seems and that many of Spidey's enemies, including Venom, Carnage, Mysterio, and Rhino, are all out to squash the Spider's quest to clear his name. Fortunately, Spider-friends, such as Daredevil, Human Torch, and Punisher, are here to help Spider-Man and keep the story moving. Like the comics, ol' webhead can climb most walls and ceilings, swing from rooftop to rooftop and, of course, do whatever a spider can. With his constant webslinging and acrobatic hand-to-hand fisticuffs, it's easy to feel that you are Spider-Man.
The characters and scenery are nicely re-created here by making great use of the aging PlayStation's graphics. Spidey's ability to climb walls and ceilings does present problems with camera angles from time to time, occasionally making it tough to watch Spidey as he fights his way through some of the game's levels. While it can be frustrating, the overall camera work and graphics of Spider-Man are still amazing. Also, Spider-Man's controls can at times be less responsive and accurate than they should be, and the music is surprisingly subdued and flat, but most true believers can bear these problems until Spidey saves the day.
In fact, the gameplay is so good, most seasoned gamers will devour the game in day or two, which makes Spider-Man a woefully short game. Cherish the time you have in these red and blue tights; this game is escapism at its best. --Mark Brooks
Pros: Easily, the best comic-book-based game ever released Very nice graphics that capture the look and feel of the comic Easily accessible and fun action title Cons: Occasionally sloppy camera work, controls, and inaccurate firing Finishing the game so quickly is upsetting
"Spider-Man kept me up a few times. Well, it is indeed a thrilling game, with quite a few missions and such. Yet, I believe contrary to the subsequent releases, this one didn't had a city life one could dwell into. It had, instead, an endless fog at the bottom of the buildings where one could simply fall into if not pressed the button right. I remember hating that."

Platform - PlayStation & PC
Apart from Spiderman 1982, Web of Fire, Battle for New York and War of the Gems, I've played all Spidey titles till Web of Shadows and this one, Spider-Man 2000 is the greatest and damn near to perfect if you ask me.
This is how a Spidey game should be made. It's colourful, engaging, funny and totally unputdownable. See, the engines in the recent titles are realistic to the point that it becomes a nuisance. While swinging, Spidey would cling to the nearest sur"

"The greatest level in this game:
Spidey vs. Monster-Ock
Although it's rather cruel to include the very last level in the game, I personally think that this level alone solidifies the 'great' status of this title and separates it from the others in the never-ending Spider-Man game series.
Right after the battle with Carnage, the symbiote is shown leaving Cletus Kasady's body and, in his usual manner, Spidey is congratulating himself in 3rd person POV... and then it happens...
The tentacle"
"Monster-Ock
Just so you know, Monster-Ock is the only character from the game not to be based on a character from the Comics, although that would've been cool! (If he really is based on one, tell me! Sorry, but my Comic-knowledge is mediocre)
Anyways, a combination of the insane Doc-Ock and the even more insane Carnage, Monster-Ock is one of the most terrifying PSX villains of all time and forget about being underrated or overrated: Monster-Ock as the final boss was probably the best way to"
