Description
Western Neversoft action-adventure, where Marvel hero Spider-Man hunts a criminal lookalike and unmasks Dr Octopus' plot in a saran-wrapped New York. Created by Neversoft and Activision, released in 2000 in the United States, Europe, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and Spain with multilingual versions under the Spider-Man title. Over thirty 3D platforming levels with web swinging, over fifteen iconic Marvel enemies including Venom and Mysterio, unlockable alternate costumes, Stan Lee narrator voice and alternative rock soundtrack. European multilingual editions.
An action-adventure that laid the foundations of the modern Spider-Man game with its web-swinging movement and a tone faithful to the comics, praised on release. Still fairly widespread in the West, its interest lies in this status as a model of superhero adaptation rather than scarcity. A piece valued by fans of the character, accessible for anyone wanting the origin of an enduring formula.
Is Spider-Man still worth playing in 2026?
Released in 2000 on PS1, Neversoft's project offers a superhero action adventure with an astonishing fidelity to the comic. Web swing management, agile combat and the gallery of iconic villains install a real identity. The spectacle writing and Stan Lee's voice guiding the player keep a tenacious charm. The camera can grow agitated and the modelling has aged. Recommended today for Marvel devotees, for Neversoft fans before Tony Hawk and for PS1 collectors curious about a peak of late nineties superhero adaptations on Sony's first home console hardware globally.
