 It
seems that a large majority of the Summer blockbusters are coming packaged
with their own platform game as well. The games 'Chronicles of Riddick'
and 'Shrek 2' have already been released with relative success leaving
the next-comer, 'Spider-Man 2: The Game' open to a ready market.
The
Story
The
story behind the game is very close to the movie. Doc Ock, a nuclear physicist,
gets transformed from a freak accident during a lab experiment. The Doc's
response to the accident is a simple one, become a homicidal maniac in
search of the one, the only, Spider-Man.
Where
the game differentiates itself from the film is that it will offer plenty
of side quests as well as other semi-major villains to contend with.
No,
You are the Spider-Man
The
game is currently being offered for N-Gage, Playstation 2, X-Box, Game
Cube, PC, and Game Boy Advanced. You play as the character Peter Parker,
aka Spider-Man, as you travel around a fully built New Your City in your
quest to make your home town a better place to live. The game promoters
have been pushing the idea about 'go anywhere, do anything' and, judging
from the game trailer, it seems that you can do just that. As Spider-Man,
you travel around all of New York City looking to find trouble and vanquish
foes.
 The
environment will be very interactive [a trend that has been adopted by
most upcoming games], allowing you to swing from just about anything including
buildings, light poles, balconies, helicopters, and the Statue of Liberty.
You will also be able to ride on top of taxis and moving trucks as you
travel around the city. Along the way you will encounter active pedestrians,
motor traffic, and more. All that a busy city requires.
Because
of the freedom offered to the player, the games storyline will actually
change depending on the quests you decide to pick up and the areas of
New York City you decide to hang out in most. Something that Activision
calls a very 'flexible mission structure.'
Hero's
Inabilities
Spider-Man
will start the game off relatively weak and must increase in ratings and
abilities as the game goes forth. Take advantage of bringing down
small-time thugs and thieves in order to help gain experience for your
web-crawler.
 The
farther your character progresses along the game the more strength, abilities,
and attack moves he will have to offer.
You
will also be offered many other opportunities to upgrade your character.
The game will be full of 'Upgrade Stores' that will allow you to spend
hero points in exchange for new abilities. There is also an arcade that
you can visit which will offer games that allow you to perfect your characters
moves and abilities.
