Spiderman the Video Game

Spiderman the Video Game 1993 Sega

Genre: Brawler/Platformer

Spiderman the Video Game calls upon some of the more obscure Marvel super heroes. Remember SubMariner, Black Cat and Hawkeye? Yeah, me neither. Despite having plenty of villains from the Marvel Universe your generic enemies look like they should be fighting Power Rangers. Spiderman the Video Game tries to do two things and does them both with mediocrity. It tries to intersperse brawling sections with platforming. And I have to admit the transitions between them are pretty good. However both forms are quite generic. The aesthetics, sound and graphics, are distinctly average but functional. The difficulty is fairly low except for a fairly tricky Green Goblin. In fact its so easy that you have a health timer to ensure you die from time to time. All in all a very mediocre game that just tried to do too much rather than one thing well.
