This was a nostalgic game. Many felt like it's a filler to Tobey Maguire adventure, but this is one of the gems of that filler. The problem with the original CD release, it has the worst Simple-disc check that would made go back in forth just to replayed it. Also, the original PC release suffered from poor controls. Y for Web swining? WTF?
Clearly of how old this game is, it lacks the X-Input support and man it's just too many to add.
Go to PCGamingWiki and check this game page on and you'll see what I mean.
The first Spider-Man movie tie-in, I remember playing the demo of this game over and over until many years later when I could finally buy it on CD.
This game desperately needs to be preserved since it's in a dire state and controllers does not work. Having this readily available would be amazing.
one of the greatest movie-based video games of all time. such a niche classic genre that we sadly just don't do anymore. i wore this disc out on my gamecube and i've tried different roms but they never function properly. i need that swinging action. this game and trophy bass 2 are all i've ever needed back from my childhood.
Perhaps there are more games like it, but from my experience it's incredibly unique. A 3D beat-'em up with an emphasis of moving athletically with tank-like controls. It's a strange concept and it takes a minute to get a handle on, but once you start to get it, it becomes really fun!
Lots of challenge modes and a shocking amount of replay-value down to even after you master Spider-Man, beating the game on a high enough difficulty makes it so you can play as Green Goblin who has a very different set of abilities than the web-head. It isn't anything like Spider-Man 2, but in some ways, I do miss this style of gameplay that was so unique and fun. Perhaps the newer iterations of the character is more true to how the character fights and moves on-screen but a part of me desires to go back and see this style of gameplay.
Now I do own the disk, but it's such a pain to install on modern systems and modern controllers tend to not work properly with the game. For me and my controller I had to go through the whole thing with the X-Axis and Y-Axis flipped! The game being on GOG would at least make the installation process a lot easier, and maybe there could be some minor modifications to get the game to recognize the different modern hardware.
It'd also be nice to more easily recommend this game to my friend and have them give it a shot! Telling them "Hey, install this really old game with awkward controls that's really hard to get running" isn't exactly a perfect pitch. But an old $5 game on GOG makes it a lot less effort on their part.
If you *really* want to go all out, adding achievements for all the small bonuses that many people may have missed could be really cool! But I'd be happy enough with this charming game in a more modern library of mine!
(Also I must share that I was too young to beat the game as a child and that my mother beat Green Goblin! Such a nostalgic memory).

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival.
Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed.
The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo.
As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity.
Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them.

The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions.
