Really fun seeing these characters in something that came out before the spider-verse was a mainstream concept. Love how differently the 4 spider-men play and there are some really cool original takes on classic villains.

Unfortunately there are a few flaws with the game, namely the extreme jank. Each button has multiple actions depending on a few conditions. The right trigger is both web-zip and web swing which, combined with the extremely awkward targeting makes movement a chore. The circle button is the grab button, but depending on which object/enemy the game decides you are locked onto combined with the distance changes function between the environmental object throw, a close up enemy grab, or the web strike and its not always clear which. The game is also pretty buggy in my experience, especially the goblin level. After playing this I have a new respect for the insomniac games' controls and how the game almost always responds exactly how you would expect it to, because it clearly is not easy to pull off.
