Just earlier today we were following (http://www.techspot.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=14048) a review (http://www.wired.com/news/games/0,2101,64090,00.html) of Spiderman2 (http://www.activision.com/microsite/spider-man/) the game, which had not a great deal good to say about the game.

However, it looks like Activision is still shipping a healthy volume (http://www.gamespot.com/news/2004/07/07/news_6102067.html) of copies of the game.

"While Activision's release announced units shipped not units sold, analysts had predicted the game to be a standout during the characteristically slow summer months. The game probably owes some of its success to the film's phenomenal showing in theaters this past weekend. Spider-Man 2 the movie broke box-office records by raking in $40.4 million on opening day and $115.8 million over the weekend. The previous record was set by Spider-Man in 2002."

Has anyone actually played this game, and can they confirm whether its just a load of pants cashing in on the release of the movie, or whether its actually worth playing?

The console versions are decent. The PC version on the other hand, is a piece of dung.

Dung? Could you elaborate?

I am dying to know what's bad about this game.

The PC version was made to be kiddy, I am not sure why they desided to make a completely differently game for PC and have the console versions have the adult/teen versions, but this is how it went down.

Gamespot has a great review which says it all

The xbox version is sweet, where I work the console versions have been selling out fast!

Why dont people read reviews before they buy s**t games, "The Sims" anyone?

Any blokes playing it?

Yeah all i see is girls playing that game. I was at my relatives house and that is all they play.

Funny thing, all my guy friends play it :D :D HAHAHA lmao jk :D wow why the hell would i say that

OH COME ON.....

We've all played The Sims® for at least 10 minutes in an unsuccessful attempt to get in bed with the cute neighbor. :O

Thats what I thought Rick.. its like everyone played the Sims!

But honest to god, I never had played it.. it was UT.

Live to Burn
Burn to Live

I must admit, the movie looks cool.

I have no intention of buying (or anything else ;) ) the game.

Same here P66, I figure the game is pretty bad, most games after movies are :p They gotta rush it out for the movie deadline.

Bit of topic, but with what agissi is saying, its such a shame EA managed to wreck LOTR into a short half action game that gets boring after one go, what a trilogy of fims too...such a shame.
