What a great game this was to play. I really felt like Spider-Man when web-slinging, bouncing on baddies and cracking one-liners (the last Spidey games to make me feel like a, "True Believer," came in the form of Spider-Man 2 and Shattered Dimensions). The game is actually a sequel to the movie, (saw the movie last night, "Amazing, nuff said!") so do not play this game till you have watched the movie because of spoilers. The movie-style presentation of the game was great (voice-acting, story, I truly would watch this game in a theater for $13.00 etc...). The graphics are beautiful but not the best 360 has to offer, animation is pretty fluid and N.Y. City comes alive. The gameplay is a simple-button layout (you don't really buy, "moves," like in previous games, just power-up's) and Spidey just fights, flights and does what a spider can. I do kinda miss smashing several buttons to perform a awesome acrobatic feat into a villains face (like all the crazy-cool moves from Spider-Man 2) but this game does it justice without leading to carpel-tunnel. The basic missions are the typical kind from previous Spidey games; car chases, muggings, hostage, gunfights, carry civilian to hospital and photographer to name a few (pretty funny dialogue at times too!). Some great bonus material like; bio's, costumes, you have a gallery of the photo's you take, comic pages to collect in-game/read classic Silver-Modern Age issues. There's even a really cool character (I will not say who) you can play as but required a special order. I bet in the near future though, you could purchase the character on X-Box Live, fingers-crossed!
