this list we’ll be looking at five of
the best and five of the absolute worst
spider-man video games and ranking them
based on a mixture of critical reception
commercial success and legacy 18 and
over how does he think he is
number 5 worst spider-man 3 all that
fuss over Larry man JJ is gonna blow a
fuse 2007 really wasn’t a great year for
Spidey fans spider-man 3 was considered
an enormous disappointment by many and
the companion video game wasn’t all that
good either
Treyarch the developers behind the
brilliant spider-man 2 returned to
develop the ps3 and xbox 360 versions of
the game and while everyone expected
this next generation spider-man to swing
straight into our hearts he ended up
falling face-first on the pavement below
the talents of the movies cast and the
brilliant web-swinging mechanics were
wasted on a game with numerous bugs
black luster next-gen graphics an
infuriating camera and unstimulating
combat mechanics it’s not really a bad
number five best spider-man web of
while web of shadows certainly wasn’t
perfect it was better than spider-man 3
and it showed a true representation of
what could be accomplished with Spidey
on next generation Hardware the game had
its fair share of problems including a
weak story and numerous technical issues
but the gameplay made up for its
shortcomings the 3d combat system was
interesting and fun to explore and the
game contained a ton of variety in its
gameplay mechanics and objectives
including many intriguing boss fights
the game isn’t great but it helped
reinvigorate interest in spider-man
video games after a massively
disappointing title I’m not sure what’s
going on
look I’m just crew up okay you think you
do a heist for kingpin try to kill me I
was working from the inside
number four worst spider-man there were
plenty of fantastic and groundbreaking
video games released for the Atari
spider-man was not one of them the game
was released in 1982 and served as the
very first spider-man video game
Spidey deserved better than this though
the entire game revolves around you
scaling a tall building with your webs
and avoiding enemies and bombs
we can’t knock it too much considering
it’s nearly 40 years old but damn is it
boring not only that but the web
mechanic is incredibly touching and
sensitive so you’ll spend the majority
of your time falling and screaming at
the TV adamant that your web attached to
a section of that building it’s a
number four best spider-man nearly 20
years after the release of spider-man on
the Atari Neversoft released spider-man
for the PlayStation and it is arguably
the first truly great spider-man video
game the technical aspects of the game
were astounding for the time including
the incredible graphics and voice acting
but it’s the gameplay that is the true
star here the game contained a marvelous
blend of platforming fighting and
shooting and included a ton of
interesting collectables and extras the
kept gamers playing for hours on end
spider-man is one of Spidey’s very best
outings and one of the most entertaining
games released for the PlayStation
venoms got control of the Jumbotron in
Times Square he’s been ranting for hours
with a message for you
Venom’s ugly face on that big screen
that’s scary number three worst
spider-man friend or foe
short range teleporter pulled you out of
the fray somebody wake the computer up
it’s time to get to work
Friend or Foe was yet another incredibly
disappointing piece of spider-man
related entertainment released in 2007
honestly it’s a miracle that franchise
even rebounded back after all this
nonsense Friend or Foe
is a reimagining of the spider-man film
trilogy with the more humorous twist and
with gameplay that centers around
defeating various bosses and converting
them to allies the game contains some
fun co-op shenanigans but it was far too
repetitive and the combat mechanics
simply weren’t buried or interesting
enough for continued investment it’s an
utterly average and by-the-numbers
action game a title without purpose or
number three best ultimate spider-man I
envy you guys you’re happy just with
some walking cliches seriously good for
you but come on guys leave the lady
alone ultimate spider-man is another
homerun by the classic Treyarch and
Activision team and is easily one of the
best and most unique spider-man games to
ever be released throughout the game do
you alternate between spider-man and
venom and each have their own unique
gameplay and combat mechanics spider-man
controls and acts as you would expect
whereas venom can perform massive jumps
throw cars and literally eat people it’s
quite dark it’s a little on the short
side and can be too frustrating for
casual players but the unique comic-book
style and diverse compelling gameplay
make ultimate spider-man a true Spidey
number two worst spider-man return of
look we’re not hating on these old games
just because they’re old they’re truly
bad games and return of the sinister six
is even worse than the Atari original
the game was published by the infamous
LJN for the nest in 1992 it was a
verbatim copy of the numerous
side-scrolling beat’em ups littered
throughout arcades in the late 80s and
early 90s only completely terrible the
controls were sloppy the levels were a
poorly designed mess and the hit and
platform detection was non-responsive
99% of the time
LJN was notoriously terrible and this
video game only perpetuated their
spider-man 2 is often considered one of
the best superhero movies of all time
and the accompanying video game is one
of the greatest pieces of spider-man
related entertainment Manhattan was not
only large and detailed but it was
filled with a variety of crimes and
collectibles for the completionists the
combat was fun and the villains
satisfying to fight but perhaps the best
aspect was the web-swinging mechanic no
longer did spider-man simply shoot webs
into the sky now you actually had to
swing from buildings it was a marked
improvement over its predecessor that
not only helped distinguish spider-man 2
from the rest but provided the most
authentic spider-man experience of the
now if you cheap theatrics today cretin
I see Osborne was two weeks stomach to
kill you no matter I’ll take great
pleasure in rending you limb from limb
myself number one worst the amazing
spider-man to never stop looking for
Uncle Ben’s killer
don’t confuse spider-man too with the
amazing spider-man 2 one is arguably the
greatest spider-man game ever created
the other is arguably the worst
spider-man game ever created you see the
difference it’s clear that this game was
rushed to coincide with the movie
because it encapsulates everything that
makes a poor spider-man video game the
controls and camera were horrific and
insanely frustrating the story was
uninspired the graphics were poor the
combat was boring and the AI stupid
providing little challenge and worst of
all the game was littered with game
breaking and immersion shattering bugs
it was a total mess that we thought I in
cash grab thank you oh it’s so scared
number one best marvel spider-man yeah
but like I don’t why the wouldn’t
it’s literally the best buy man game
like why the why the would
spider-man 2 be better than this
spider-man game like I reckon like what
hipster is gonna be like I prefer hey
guys so the new spider-man game just
came out we did a crazy review on mojo
plays check it out over here back to the
video well this is it guys the hype was
real and insomniac didn’t disappoint
this game is a perfect amalgamation of
spider-man essentials and it provides
the most authentic and exciting
spider-man experience on a video game
system ever not only are the graphics
fantastic and the city of Manhattan
expensive but the combat system is
detailed and instinctive allowing us to
truly feel like Spider Man for the very
first time the altering between
spider-man and Peter Parker is also an
interesting mechanic and the original
concept of playing a slightly older
Peter Parker allows the game to explore
some intriguing story directions and
themes sorry spider-man 2 but it looks
like you’ve finally been dethroned and
