Top 10 Spider-Man Games: Part 1
With great Spider-Man video games also comes the great responsibility to rank them in a Top 10 list. That’s right: since the first Spider-Man game in 1982 there have been dozens of Spidey games, ranging from side-scrolling web-’em-ups to open-world swing-fests. We’ve taken all of those friendly neighborhood adventures into consideration and come up with a ranking that includes even PlayStation’s latest, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.
So strap on your web-shooters and dive off a skyscraper as we swing into our list of the 10 best Spider-Man video games.
You can check out our ranking by watching the video in the player above, flipping through the slideshow gallery below, or keep scrolling to read the article.
10. Spider-Man: The Movie (2002)
Platform: PS2, Xbox, Gamecube
Developer: Treyarch
Spider-Man: The Movie was released in 2002 and did just enough right to make it a fun superhero action brawler. The story has Tobey Maguire and Willem Dafoe voicing their characters from the movie, although Maguire’s performance isn’t exactly amazing. The game is criminally short, too – around six hours for the main story – but that’s offset by the fact that once you finish it you can replay as the Green Goblin, complete with Goblin Glider and pumpkin bombs, and there’s even a new story following Harry Osborn. The outdoor levels have us swinging around shooting webs aimlessly into the sky, but they offer a sense of freedom, as Spider-Man zips around battling drones in the air and goons on rooftops. Combat feels authentic to Spider-Man: you can launch into an airborne enemy, fire off webs, change direction midair, and swing away to keep your combo going – something we could only dream of doing in previous Spidey games.

《蜘蛛侠:电影版》于2002年发布,做得恰到好处,使其成为一款有趣的超级英雄动作格斗游戏。托比·马奎尔和威廉·达福为他们在电影中的角色配音,虽然马奎尔的表演并不令人惊艳。游戏的时间也很短,主线故事大约只有六个小时,但这一点被你可以重玩绿魔,配备有绿魔滑翔机和南瓜炸弹,甚至还有跟随哈利·奥斯本的新故事所抵消。户外关卡让我们在空中漫无目的地摆动,射击网弹,但它们提供了一种自由感,蜘蛛侠在空中与无人机和屋顶上的暴徒战斗。战斗感觉像是真正的蜘蛛侠:你可以向空中的敌人发动攻击,发射网弹,在空中改变方向,然后摆动以保持你的连击——这是我们在以前的蜘蛛侠游戏中只能梦想的事情。
