Super hero games usually get a bad rap - and rightfully so - especially if based on a movie. The exception seems to be with the Spider-Man games. This Spider-man game for the Sega Dreamcast was made to be an action adventure game on it's own merit - not developed for release along side the movie! Spider-Man for the Sega Dreamcast is as fine as any of many mainstream adventure games to date, and as good if not better, than the Spider-Man games released that were based on the movies. This Spider-Man game is not tied to the movie releases so it is a stand alone action/adventure/platform/shooter. Released by Activision a year before the other Spider-Man games came out, this one does not have to draw on the movie to get it's story. Spider-Man (Dreamcast) sticks out for two main reasons, (and one little reason). One, it does all the tried and true stuff correctly. The controls are solid, the graphics are very good. The feeling that you have a large world to explore is present. The foes are well created and yet keep in line with the Spider-man comics, the voice work is good, the script is decent....there really is not one thing to complain about. This is an excellent adventure game, done well on every front including the opening commentary by the guy who created the Spider-man character in the first place, Mr. Stan Lee. The second main thing that sticks out is the dialogue Spider-man makes throughout the game. It is funny in a smart aleck sort of way and yet not too repetitive like many games can be. I found that I like the guy and could associate with his way of thinking. This, I believe, is called character development and if you can build a likable character that a gamer can appreciate, then you've created a great game. A third reason, for me and my family, is the lack of spraying blood and gore. My kids play this and I don't want them to be exposed to the modern day refinements for extreme violence, gore, language, sex, drugs and stupidity. This game is rated "E". The graphics are not up to the HD graphics of today but are right in line with any Dreamcast or PS2 or Xbox or GameCube game out there. I've read that this same game looks better on the DC than on the PS2. UPDATE: We recently got Spider-Man for the GameCube that we play through the Wii. The graphics and environments and gameplay are all about the same. Should you buy this game? YES. You really have nothing to lose on this. Great graphics, great game play and a comfortable control scheme combined with a likable character and decent story make this an excellent choice. PLUS it's a super-hero game that doesn't suck! It does everything by the book, and it does it all very well.Read full review
Had this game as a kid for N64 didn’t have motion cutscenes. Dreamcast does. So I bought it. Great classic game. Nuff’ said.

The Spider-Man game on dream cast is still a great game to play especially when it has Stan Lee’s voice narrating most of the story.

Enjoy my purchase the only thing is it wasn't working the first few times I tried playing it. I hope this doesn't continue.

I'm a big fan of the PSOne version so when I discovered Dreamcast had an updated version I instantly pounced on it and what a buy. This is any Spider-Man fans dream, so many characters, easter eggs and references to the Spidey-Mythos, its insanely fun and incredibly well produced. The graphics are entirely updated with new character models, everything is sharper and more colorful. It was like being 10 all over but better. The extra features are tremendous as well. Many suits to choose from with different abilities and fun game modes. The "What If?" mode is too much fun. Every Spider-Man fan needs this in their lives!!!
There's no doubt that this game shows it age. The graphics, sound effects, and cut scenes are very much of its time. That being said, it remains a fun superhero beat-em-up/platformer that set the bar for future Marvel games - including the Spider-Man movie games. I definitely recommend this game, and consider it an essential part of the Dreamcast library!

A great game. Even better on the dreamcast than it is on the playstation! Also, one of the best spiderman themed games ever made. Definitely a great game to have in your collection and will keep you coming back longer than most games from the same era.
