This game is pretty much the same from beginning to end, play the first few levels and you've seen it all. Even more egregious than this, is the sheer lack of feeling of progress, there is little to no advancing difficulty, and you can essentially beat the entire game with two buttons and an analogue stick.

It's the most basic of beat-em-ups with a Spider-Man skin on it to trick people until thinking it'll be a good game. In addition to this, the game doesn't really give you any reason to continue playing, the storyline isn't very intriguing, the gameplay does not engage you in any way, and any secrets that the game wants you to find are almost entirely pointless. Every now and then you'll come across a secret room, and inside is more of the same enemies you've been beating on for hours, but if you clear the room, you can return to it in versus mode. This is frankly pointless. Particularly for those who are playing in single player, the extra content provides absolutely no new experiences, and it doesn't even give you any perks to help you advance through the game - not that any are needed, because it is simply that mindless.

Perhaps this would be more fun with a co-op partner to play it with, but I can't imagine how that would save the game as a whole. You're more likely to just have two people playing a boring game, both of whom would quickly decide to play something more exciting!
