Opening Snide Remarks: Hey!  A game with Spiderman!  What a cool idea! 
Spidy is one cool superhero!  Oh, and the game is by Rare!  How can you go 
wrong! You'd be very surprised!

Gameplay: This game is a side-scroller.  However, like a lot of other early 
side-scrollers for the Gameboy, it stinks!  You shoot webs at your enemies 
that move at a turtle's pace, while the enemies are able to easily attack!  

Graphics: Rare tried to put detail into the graphics, but they failed 
miserably.  Everything is really dark, and it becomes a strain to your 
eye.  

Sound: Pathetic.  The sound effects are plain and stupid.  Rare didn't even 
try.  There  aren't that many sound effects either (but with a game like 
this, that might actually be a good thing)


Music: Well, the music isn't that bad for an early Gameboy game.  It is 
somewhat catchy, and it does kind of give the game a Marvel Comic setting.


Play Control:  It takes a couple of presses of the button until Spiderman 
finally responds at some areas!  Not only that, but the webs move at a
pretty slow pace as well!  This makes the game hard for the wrong reason!
If it had the winning play control Mega Man has.....

Final Analysis: Don't play this game if you're a fan of Rare or Spiderman.  
In fact, don't play it even if you don't like Rare or Spiderman!  I
know this review isn't as lengthy as some of the other reviews on this site,
but let me just get my point across.  This game is utter crap!

Currently Known Codes:  I believe there are codes for this game, but I 
don't know any off hand.  It doesn't matter, the game would still stink!
