Who wouldn't want to be a superhero for a day, zooming through the skies, protecting the innocent city below from criminals and evildoers? It's a dream of every kid, big and small. Activision's Spider-Man, a Windows port of the PlayStation and Nintendo 64 title, gives computer users the chance to do just that, taking on the role of Marvel Comic's arachnid avenger. Spider-Man is true to its roots, both as a console title and as a comic book, and that is both its strongest suit and weakest flaw. Throughout the 3D action-adventure, our web-slinging alter ego progresses through the usual series of cartoon scenarios: fighting bad guys, rescuing innocents, and confronting super villains. All of this is made possible by Spider-Man's super strength, agility and amazing webbing powers, which he uses to swing from building to building as well as to trap and pound on his enemies. A third-person camera follows the wall-walker through the adventures, giving you a view of him and his somewhat streamlined environment.
