this is Spider-Man here a superhero that changed entertainment forever a superhero that's been given 11 Movies 10 animated shows a stupendous amount of comics and over 60 video games from the 1980s all the way up to the 2020s which I am about to play so let's see how much Spider-Man has changed over the past 40 years starting in the 1980s this is the first ever Spider-Man game put some red and blue pixels together allow the guy to shoot webs to climb a building then boom you can call it a Spider-Man game apparently this is the
Green Goblin and his objective is to stop you from reaching the top of this building honestly this game can be super tedious at times because when you miss a web you will fall and it is so hard to recover brilliant to cut this game some slack it was released on the Atari 20600 but overall for a first attempt at a Spider-Man game it's kind of what I was expecting unlike the next game which is The Amazing Spider-Man and Captain America in Dr Doom's Revenge what a mouthful of a title now for those hardcore Spider-Man fans
you will know that this isn't actually the next Spidey game that features Spider-Man in fact Quest robe is but as we move through the decades in this video I've also included segments where we'll be looking at cancel Spider-Man games mobile Spider-Man games and games that feature Spider-Man that's right this is the Ultimate Spider-Man video but with that being said let's get back to this the short conclusion to this game is that it sucks there is like no difference between Spider-Man and Captain America's mechanics which makes me think they're both just here to bring more sales
to the game even though it ended up being declared as the 20 7th worst game of all time I'll give the game props for the villains you fight like the Rhino Electro hobgoblin dude they even got the Hulk spoiler it's just a Mysterio illusion but on the other hand you also get to fight villains like audible who the [ __ ] is audible I thought the comic panels they useed to tell the story was a neat idea the graphics are definitely a huge step up from the first game and while in all fairness I'd bloody
hope so with a 7-year release Gap but that being said just one year later they somehow managed to make a game that looks worse again and that game is the famous of Amazing Spider-Man it's not famous in fact it's completely bollocks why does Spider-Man CW like a toddler this game is just super goofy why is it when you get hit instead of showing battle damage on the suit you just lose every inch of skin and organ down to the bone I did not like this game one bit truly it just felt like a button pushing
simulator because well that's all you do luckily the next game is a tad bit better because it introduces the Kingpin so for some reason Kingpin is about to Nuke the city and everyone seems to be on board of it in fact even the police are trying to stop me from saving the city when there is literally a crime happening 2 ft away dude they'll even throw you in jail if you fail before the first Spider-Man game to release on a Sega console it looks good the mechanics are solid fighting though can be a Thunder [
__ ] of emotions dude how am I supposed to do this without taking immense amount of damage brilliant I've just been stabbed to death by an obese Ninja Turtle overall this is once again one of Spider-Man's weakest games but luckily that Trend stops for a little bit with Spider-Man the video game this was the first game that introduces my favorite Spider-Man villain Venom and while similar to this completely useless fights you I created Spider-Man the video game is an arcade beat him up that's actually really good you end up fighting some of the most iconic
Spider-Man villains known today and although the boss fights can be a tad repetitive I love the implication of different camera views that show off the pure scale of some of these boss fights especially this Venom fight which just actually Peak with this being an arcade title it also allows four player co-op where you get to play as either Spider-Man black cat hookai or neyar honestly what an odd choice of characters but if I saw this game at an arcade in today's era best believe I'd hop on that ASAP because although it's like an hour long
I'm just glad we got a decent Spider-Man game for once which I can also somewhat say about the next game as well this is The Amazing Spider-Man but on the Game Boy AKA the first ever handheld Spider-Man game the game play is very straightforward it's just another 2D Sid scroller beat him up however as soon as you figure out how to swing the game's over right then this just feels like cheating I managed to wrap this bad boy up within half an hour the plot is also kind of cool Spider-Man identity has been revealed and
Mary Jane has been kidnapped you'll be using a walkie-talkie to talk to the vins to figure out where to go next and the five levels you get to play are pretty fun for what they are for first attempt at a handheld Spidey game it did the job but I cannot say the same about it sequel this game is garbage and we're honestly going to pretend it doesn't exist anymore it's that bad the story is so Random Spider-Man has been framed for what I think says a robbery and for what I played it was just boring
and impossible to beat at times it's it's also sad to see that another popular villain known as Carnage had his debut appearance in this game but unfortunately the Game Boy just didn't do him justice Spider-Man Return of the Sinister 6 the Sinister 6 has returned and we got out of heat them look I don't want to slander all these old Spider-Man games but at the same time they kind of deserve it the controls in this game are so infuriating on the San level I fell down this hole and was seriously stuck down here for like
a Solid 5 minutes all because I couldn't get the web swinging to work properly listen defeating the scks will always be a good idea for a video game but when you pair it with some janky ass controls and old mechanics it just becomes a lifeless mess Spider-Man and the X-Men in arcades Revenge right this game is just unforgivingly hard the first level has you running around grabbing these flashy red things in order to proceed to the next level and once you do get them you enter a world of pain my friend I found the mechanics
to be good enough to actually get around each level but everything they got go in here just isn't for me man Wolverines fighting clowns Cyclops riding Minecarts St is a bloody mermaid and Gambit is against mechanical chest pieces what is that about I think it's safe to say that Spider-Man has officially had a horrible lineup in the '90s and even the next one is just so bad The Amazing Spider-Man 3 concludes this terrible Trilogy with the exception of the first game and while amazingly the third one is definitely the worst playing in this game sto
30 minutes of my life I'll never get back in the end I ended up purching myself on this brick wall acting all mysterious and [ __ ] because that was the only moment where I felt some sort of Joy playing this game thank God maximan carage is good though because I was genuinely on the edge of losing it what makes this game so unique to me is how it actually takes panels from the Maximum Carnage comic run this is another beat him up game that took me a few minutes to get used to but best
believe once I lock them mechanics down nothing will stopping me I don't really understand why Spider-Man is constantly getting jumped by these randomers but I'll tell you now both Daya and Lizzie put up one heck of a fight this game is also called Spider-Man and Venom but Venom isn't playable until the fourth stage which I thought was kind of stupid in the end you get to beat up Carnage as he charges at you with two a and the intent to kill with no mercy what more could you ask for great a shitty sequel okay hold
up I've got to be going through some sort of timeline seizure here because if I'm not mistaken this is supposed to be a sequel to Maximum Carnage when it looks like a preal everything here is worse graphically mechanically difficulty dude I died as Spider-Man almost instantly the game does let you play as Venom now from the get-go so I did that I managed to get a little further but still got my Chocolate Starfish ripped in half yeah I I qu it this sucks but it doesn't suck as much as this I present to you Spiderman
it's just called Spider-Man like it's some revolutionary Masterpiece that everyone should play but in reality I'm Gob smacked by how bad it is at this point I don't really understand what the developers were thinking with most of these Spider-Man games half of them you don't even feel like Spider-Man you're just a guy in a Spider-Man costume in this game particular you had to break this V and for God's sake it just wouldn't go I think what's going on here is that they're utilizing the hype of the animated series at the time to you know make
a shilly game as secure a bag Spider-Man cartoon maker I've made my own Spider-Man cartoon and you know with the animations I've managed to put off in this video already well I don't want to like stretch my ego but you'd think it would be pretty decent right well today I'm here to present to you Spider-Man can't save everyone do it I can't even believe [Music] my back I believe there's a hero in all [Music] us cheese [Music] I missed the part but that's my problem The Amazing Spider-Man lethal foes so this game is only in
Japanese so I cannot tell you what the hell these characters are saying to each other all I know is that this game is all right the animations are super polished and I really like the design they got going for a boy but one thing I didn't like about this game was that damn timer although it haunted me every second I played I have never had such a clutch moment in a game before in the the second level of the game you end up going down these sewers which is a literal maze near enough making this
level impossible to be and honestly I don't know how I did it but I made it to the lizard with 7 seconds remaining which meant I had to beat this green labat to the ground as fast as I could even if it meant I had to sacrifice my entire health bar and somehow after watching Dr Conor's lash out I pulled off a damn miracle there's no way I do this bro he's choking me out what a three dog yeah it's done it's done oh my God bro look at my health bar put me in a
clutch compilation bro what the hell was that the entire city is on fire the sky is syn waves and Spider-Man looks so cursed what is this 3D Moto attempt webon fire is like a fan-made Spider-Man game developed on scratch oh my God if I get hit by one more brick I'm going to start seeing red beating up enemies is so annoying I'll just end up swinging past them however if I do take on a fight Spider-Man will just suddenly tweak out for a split second and take it out on the floor the only part I
kind of liked about this game was the web swinging but eventually all good things must come to an end Spider-Man The Sinister 6 okay I must have found like a coverup game or something because according to the internet this game does not exist even the Wikipedia doesn't have any info on it and the Wikipedia knows everything but once I did manage to hack my way into this game and catch an insane amount of viruses God I wish I never did because holy crap it is shocking the aesthetic the art style voice acting and facial expressions
are just camera action oh hell no man what the [ __ ] man honestly what a sad way to end the '90s with this absolute garbage luckily the 2000s games are a lot better but before we do that why don't we take a look at Spider-Man's cancelled video games first up is Spider-Man the Venom Factor all right let's all take a knee real quick and appreciate that this game never happened because it's meant to be a sequel to Spider-Man The Sinister 6 and quite frankly I'd ra play with dirt than play with this game next
up is Spider-Man 4 the movie the game now while Sam Remy was working on the film other Studios were developing multiple versions of Spider-Man 4 on different consoles however when the movie got cancelled the games were scrapped as well it's a tad disappointing but after the utter disaster of Spider-Man 3 the movie the game which you'll definitely want to stick around for and see later in the video I think we might have been saved Ultimate Spider-Man till yeah Activision I got issues with you now pal why would you cancel this apparently this would have been
a direct sequel to Ultimate Spider-Man and would have taken place in the winter and have Green Goblin as the main villain I think instead we ended up just getting battle for New York which is like so infuriating when you realize what could have been but I guess something is better than nothing Spider-Man the great web I think I speak for all of us when I say we need this game having a Spider-Man multiplayer game has been a dream of mine since I was a child and the fact that we were so close to it breaks
my heart heart you know I don't think you understand how happy this would have made me insomaniac has made the best Spider-Man games and to have a multiplayer version of this would have cured my undying depression after realizing this was cancelled anyways with those being done now let's move on to the 2000s Spider-Man is now in 3D and he is looking better than ever loading this game up you're greeted with the soothing sound of Stanley's voice welcome True Believers and newcomers alike Spider-Man co-creators Stan Lee here rest is so he'll forever be loved and after
that you'll go on to play a game that's very different from any of the Spider-Man games we've played yet I have a lot of good and bad to say about this game and we'll start with the pros I think for its time the developers worked really well to create an experience that makes you feel like Spiderman even with the limited amount of Technology they had for our first attempt at a 3D spideer game they was able to give us some good combat decent level design and a chunk of iconic villains including carifi Dr Octopus holy
[ __ ] that last mission is genuinely terrifying having this Character Chase you for a solid 3 minutes in these tight spaces had me straining I also enjoyed the little cameos we got for the Human Torch Daredevil Punisher and Captain America not to mention the ending scene when they're all playing cards together what a moment now in terms of the bad it's just a really old game the camera is by far the worst thing about it because you cannot control it with a separate stick and my God some boss battles feel impossible to beat because
you're constantly trying to turn the camera around to F them the web swinging in this game is also a bit odd you need to be in proximity of an object that you can get to for it to work even though you're just swinging from absolutely nothing Venom also acts like a complete child in this game spider WS come out and play his dialogue is so bad and his intentions for being a venom for the first half of the game are just so stupid there's this impostor Spider-Man that does some sort of heist as science exper
and obviously Venom thinks it's the real Spider-Man so he completely goes off the rails and kidnaps Mary Jane lets the entire world know that she has 24 hours to live and basically the way Spider-Man explains to Venom that it wasn't him was by saying how they bumped into each other at the Science Expo so it couldn't have been him this is either the worst writing or Venom is just super thick in the head for not putting that together now this game also starts the trend of developers making ports for these games but depending on the
console each game will be entirely different to the other this is still the same game Spider-Man but for the Game Boy Color and as you can see they're nothing alike but I just thought it was cool that developers went out of their way to make these games to reach as many people as possible even if some of them weren't great overall Spider-Man 2000 for the PS1 feels like a landmark for Spidey in video games but oddly just one year later they decided to make two sequels for it the game boy version goes back to being
a 2d size groller that has nothing to do with the Fest game instead you'll be fighting Rogue teddy bears and Spider-Man 2 Enter Electro on the PS1 as Electro as the main villain which is cool and all but it's nothing special the first half of the game is all find and Dy you're playing through missions that feel pointless to the plot and it's a very forgettable experience but the second half of the game I will never forget because it made me want to rip out my goddamn eyeballs and shove them so far up my ass
these are some of the most miserable levels to play after completing this level where you need to do several different tasks all of them being [ __ ] by the way they may look easy as a spectator but when you're battling against the most infuriating camera movement in the world you'll eventually start to tweak out like I did holy you [ __ ] dirty C I'll [ __ ] rip your anyways you then enter this monstrosity of a room where you have to climb several floors and oh I hated it so much like it's unforgivingly
hard for no reason at all honestly if I could go back I wish I played the game on kid mode because that just sounds 10 times easier however you cannot go wrong with the unlockable suit selection here Spider-Man 2099 the Symbio suit Scarlet Spider do not get me wrong there were some ugly suits what the [ __ ] is Prodigy but bro they had some absolute bangers in this game and I loved it Spider-Man mysterious Menace I went into this game thinking it wouldn't be that great because I have never heard or seen anything about
it before in my entire life but after fully completing it I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was I think so far it's my favorite 2D Spider-Man game yet it released on the Game Boy Advance and by goie the visuals are delightful they're filled with these rich and colorful environments from the city streets to circus tents moving around felt super satisfying with the and responsive controls I also enjoyed each level from a gameplay perspective enemies are not too tough to beat but they'll for sure give you a beat down when necessary and some of
the boss fights are polishing as [ __ ] like this scorpion one man what is bro doing but on the other hand Rhino and hammerhead were like an absolute Breeze to beat this feels like a forgotten tile that not many people played so if you haven't played it already I really do recommend it it took me just over an hour to beat but in that time span comes several unique levels and a decent story with cool cut scenes and music Spider-Man the movie the game okay hear me out with this one if I was to
take this game seriously I wouldn't like it that much well because I don't it's just funny movie tying games were the [ __ ] back in the day and the majority of them were bad but in a good way the be movie you like jazz absolutely diabolical but loved every second of it the Cat in the Hat movie the game atrocious and haunting at times but still brilliant same goes for Spider-Man 1 the best part about this game is either the cut scenes or letting MJ die on this Mission because she's for the Stream but
other than that for me this just isn't one of my favorites at all and I realize a lot of you probably have a soft spot for it so please prevent yourself from slaughtering me in the comments I think the web swinging is awful especially when fighting enemies in the air the combat also isn't my favorite unlocking different combos throughout the game is cool and all but when you get to some [ __ ] boss fight like the Green Goblin who just counters everything you do it becomes quite infuriating but then again I didn't really take
this game seriously so I kind of brushed off all of my inner AG like as far as movie adaptations go this one is one of of the better ones to say the least it follows the movie story but also has extended content where we get to fight villains like the Shocker and vulture and I also can say that the Game Boy advanced version is any better we open up to this deep fried looking movie clip from the actual movie and then ladies and gentlemen we get to play this the one thing I did like about
this game was the comic lettering when you hit an enemy but other than that there's not a lot to go off here ladies and gentlemen welcome to the first Spotlight game of the video Spotlight game is a game that I believe is a true Masterpiece I have selected only three games that I believe deserve the spotlight and Spider-Man 2 the movie the game is the first one this was the first ever Spider-Man game I played and because I was so young I had no clue when the world what was going on but after playing it
again now I was thunder struck with the biggest wave of nostalgia a man has ever felt for some reason as a kid I remember being fascinated by the tiniest things in this game stuff like being able to go into the Daily Bugle as parkour was absolutely mindboggling to me even simpler things like swinging from helicopters that was so cool I also recall my favorite missions being the blackout ones clearly I was a down bad child because ain't no way I liked it for anything else except her the story aspect of this game is a little
mixed in my opinion I thought some of the missions were super well made especially the Mysterio missions they were above its time and you can imagine my reaction as kid when they let you swing over to Lady Liberty for a mission along with all of this it would be a crime not to mention the pizza delivery challenges something about having a very virtual in-game job as a kid maybe felt like I had a job in real life this was a responsibility and as Uncle Ben said with great power comes great responsibility I'm pretty positive the
reason why people still talk about this game today is because of the web swinging this was the first Spider-Man game where webs attached to buildings and off the rip they perfected it learning how to daverse New York surprisingly takes some skill and time to master but once you got it on lockdown it's so much fun I also want to quickly talk about the crimes and random encounters they've implemented into this game as well there are so many cool ones like saving people from a sinking boat I got you pal or simply grabbing a balloon for
a kid just another down the job they felt fresh and different which I felt like future games didn't really capitalize on Al together though Spider-Man 2 is genuinely an amazing game but let's be honest we're all here to look at the PC version instead when I discovered this version of the game I thought it was fake imagine having to aim your cursor at a green bubble in the air to swing that is just Criminal for the many few who did play this version and enjoyed it please make your awareness in the comments because there is
no way your opinion isn't drenched in bias but the Game Boy advanced version is a 10 out of 10 no no no it's not I remember briefly playing this one as a little lad and the reason why it always stuck with me is because you start the game by delivering pizzas whilst also committing several crimes this game just straight up tells you to smash windows and climb through vents to give people their food like imagine being this family and suddenly Spider-Man pops out of your vent with a Pizza in reality I'd be the happiest man
alive in the moment but after I let it marinate for a few days I'd probably feel a bit weird that Spidey could do that to anyone I'll tell you what though the one thing I thought was really unique about this game was the inclusion of the 3D Hub that lets you swing around and select levels from they didn't need to do this but they did and it's pretty cool even if the GBA can barely handle it Spider-Man 2 for the DS God why did they make so many this one is better than the previous two
we just looked at but it's still very flawed I definitely couldn't imagine getting past the first level as a kid because it's a maaz that my little mind would have be able to comprehend nevertheless I do kind of like this game but you got to have an insane amount of patience for it Spider-Man 2 on the PSP [ __ ] playing this game gave me dja Vu because it might as well be a report of Spider-Man 1 on the PS2 they have reused so many assets from that game and just slapped it into this one
the web swinging for example is just a carbon copy I also don't understand why they got JK Simmons to voice J Jonah Jameson for this game but not for the PS2 version that was a missed opportunity and a half overall this version just feels so weak Peter looks like a 40-year-old man the only thing that this game got going for it it's the story because again it just follows the movie and the movie is freaking goated finally we have Spider-Man Activity Center God we've really hit rock bottom with this game it's just so boring you're
slowly walking around these rooms avoiding these lasers I just don't understand how they got Toby to do the voice acting for this game as well but now we can move on to this this game is so different to all the other Spider-Man games because you get to play with Spider-Man's cff what is not to love pretty much everything else again if I played this one as a kid I would have gave my parents a stand inovation to thank them for giving me such a unique experience unfortunately though I'm 20 now and my dopamine receptors have
been crucified next game oh hello you beauty pull a Sprinkle of creativity into a Spider-Man game and you get Ultimate Spider-Man the standout aspect for this game is the comic like art style and quite frankly that is why I remember it so well compared to all the others its pure uniqueness makes the game Timeless because playing it again 11 years later I ended up loving it all over again now before I strap into glaz this game even more these are the Game Boy advanced and Nintendo DS versions The GBA version feels extremely similar to the
Spiderman movie games I definitely prefer this one over those though because well you can break into people's homes and beat people to the point of disintegration I love that the DS1 on the other hand is actually a really good interpretation of the console version it continues to follow the art and story was beinging in a 2.5d perspective so I got to give the game props for doing a great job at adapting the essence and mechanics of the console version to a sides scroll in handheld also for those who are curious to why the resolution is
so high it was either I play like this or this which I know kind of takes away the whole DS Vibe so if you're annoyed about this I do apologize but it ain't that deep now let's get back to the one we all came here for to start you begin the game with a boss fight against Venom and then throughout the game you get to play as him leaping around these buildings and eating people including children that was kind of odd was just so fun smashing helicopters and Throwing Cars fighting Wolverine this was the peak
experience for a guy like me now back to Peter I got to get this one off my chest real quick everyone in this game knows his secret identity 5 minutes into the game you're swinging around without his suit on all the villains know who he is as well so does Nick Fury and silver Sable I know who you are Peter Parker later in the game you're fighting her in public as Peter then after that this guy here literally watches you get into your suit I just thought this whole scenario was kind of [Music] funny anyways
Ultimate Spider-Man is filled with so many incredible features the web swinging alone goes crazy bro having the ability to climb your web is so useful especially when you're in Queens the combat also makes you feel Unstoppable at times I'm pretty sure I just disintegrated Sher with that nasty ass combo yeah he's dead one little nickp pick I have about this game is that nearly every boss you encounter you have to chase them before you fight them and it goes on for so long but when you do get to fight them it's a great time Electro
Green Goblin and oh the craziest plot TST at the end when Peter turns into Carnage that's nuts for my final statement about this game I want us all to take a second to appreciate Peter's final blowout on Venom I'm pretty sure he just killed him yeah Ro just got flatlined Spider-Man battle for New York this game game is cool because it's the first game that lets you play as Green Goblin without using cheats yes I know he's in Spider-Man one and flying around as him is genuinely more fun than playing as Spider-Man anyways the Green
Goblins fighting mechanics lets you bely flop and firebomb enemies which seals the deal for me it released on the DS and Game Boy Advance and the story and plot are essentially the same across both versions however obviously the gameplay experience is very different the DS version features more complex mechanics thanks to the hardware whereas the GBA is more of a basic 2D BM up a little fun fact about this game is that it's actually a prequel to Ultimate Spider-Man and as I mentioned before the console version got cancelled but what we got here is decent
unlike Spider-Man hypers scan this is hands down the weirdest Spider-Man game I've played yet it's like a mesh of all the Sam RI movies put together and you can select different moments to play one minute you're saving Mary Jane the other minute you're running low on rent and got to sell some pizza Spider-Man free the movie the game what I'm about to tell you is a tragic story because I used to have fond and happy memories as a kid playing this game I'd be swinging around New York slingshotting myself across the map back then this
game was perfect but replaying it now it's [ __ ] Dreadful I officially hate being old because all of those happy memories I was able to make were solely because as a kid I couldn't give a toss if a game was good or not as long as I was Spider-Man that was all that mattered but I can't avoid the truth anymore this game is garbage I don't think I've ever repeated the same words what's going on so much in a video game before if you take out the six missions that are meant to correlate with
the Spider-Man 3 movie you are left with 36 other missions that make up an entirely different game some of them are okay at best but the others were just screw the missions where I have to swing with mgl my back she's a poop don't associate me with her let's talk to Betty instead hey Betty looking good thanks Pete no seriously I would definitely okay Retreat you're lost babe the only po the game gives us for having a symbiote suit on are these cut scenes nothing that's stopping your gums from flapping wooden salt other a nap
it's super underwhelming one thing I can heavily praise about this game are the animations after you fail a QuickTime event ow oh god oh and of course this one help please one I'm going to die look at this point this game is just a meme even this bat flip was rightfully crucified because of how damn useless it was Spider-Man 3 once had a special place in my heart and it still will I'm really trying to gight myself into forgetting about my recent playthrough so I'm going to rate this game off my childhood experience therefore it's
a 10 out of 10 now let's move on to the other versions Spider-Man 3 for the PS2 is again an entirely different game it also released on the Wii and PSP so fair play for cramping all of that onto a handheld I had a decent time playing this the plot is still centered around Xbox 360 and PS3 version but this game has the pleasure of including one of Spider-Man's greatest villains of all time Michael morbius they must have thought including him would have made them a more billion dollars onto the DS version I don't like
it unlike Spider-Man 2 on the DS you now have to use the touchscreen to fight enemies which is fine I guess it's enjoyable to bust out some cool ass combo but being totally honest that's all the game has to offer the best part was probably the ending when Harry Osborne dies because his glider gets damaged they could not bear the fa of keeping him alive because it wouldn't be Cannon to the movie finally we have the Game Boy advanced version this one is very similar to its predecessors and I'd say it's an enjoyable experience until
you get the black suit I know what you're thinking how is that even possible well I'm about to tell you most of the game requires you to break down walls whilst using the black suit however whenever you get hit you'll lose the black suit until you can refill your r meter this is so stupid because half of the game I was farming enemies just to fill up that meter so I could move forward in a level it just became tedious at the end of the day and there's nothing special about it Spider-Man Friend or Foe
What A peculiar game this is Friend or Foe involves teaming up with both heroes and villains from the Spider-Man universe to defeat a greater threat controlled by an alien Symbio this leads to a cool concept similar to web of Shadows Ally system where we get to fight alongside villains like Green Goblin Dr Octopus and of course my ride or die black cat the plot of the game is straightforward and lacks a lot of depth but I think that's because the target audience is lasered focused on younger players I mean if I got my hands on
this as a kid I probably would have loved it and don't get it twisted I still think this game is decent I enjoyed the classic beat him up style they got going here which reminded me of Spider-Man the video game back in the '90s however the combat itself can feel a bit repetitive after a while because pretty much all the enemies can be beaten up with the same basic combo attacks the Nintendo DS version takes a slightly a different approach compared to the console version it's even more simplified now honestly I didn't even think that
was possible but all the levels are different the combat is different and for some reason I've noticed they've used the Ben 10 Omnitrix sound effect in most of these upcoming games what the hell is that about overall friend or F on the DS isn't bad it's just super easy Spider-Man Web of Shadows my name is Peter Parker I was bitten by a radioactive spider and what comes after that is pure depression i f protecting the city was my responsibility turns out Uncle Ben was wrong the city's mine now I have an insanely hot grow okay
I need to CH the [ __ ] out all jokes aside embracing the Symbio is the way to go this game is brilliant Web of Shadows gives you the sosu off the rip and what's cool about it is that you can make choices throughout the game to determine if you're going to be a good Spider-Man or a bad Spider-Man by the end and at first I told myself you know what I'm going to be a good Spider-Man and do Uncle Ben proud however as soon as I saw black cat pop up on my screen just
di on your own tonight I have never folded faster in my entire life and it was the best decision I have ever made seeing MJ's face when Spidey and black cat had their little intertwin uh whatever this was fell imaculate this suit just straight up turns you into a villain man you can funder a car at a civilian and they'll get severely injured and what you could just leave them there to die some of the choices I made for out the game I ended up genuinely feeling bad for ripping wol and a half was not
on my bingo card for choosing the black suit Choice killing Eddie with no mercy after hearing him say please help me made me drop a tear and slightly regret my actions the suit also gives you more aggressive combat like what in the world did I just unleash I definitely prefer using this rather than having the suit off although normal Peter has some fun attacks as well overall the combat is phenomenal but blind me does this game force you to use the web strike so damn much I must have used this move over a thousand times
fighting these symbiote vultures was so boring because you can only beat them by repeating the same attack if you're lucky you can get a web poool in there and land like two normal hits but then again what's the point because there's barely a payoff in damage for doing that another new aspect about webble Shadows is the war combat why on Earth has no other Spider-Man game done this before it can be a little clunky at times but knee sliding and fighting these enemies on the water was just such a new Fresh idea that I loved
one thing I really didn't like about the combat was that godamn lock on system tell tell me why things will lock on to other things across the [ __ ] map when I'm trying to lock on something that's right in front of me this felt really janky and I often just had to avoid it a good alternative though are these swing kicks holy [ __ ] they do so much damage bro I sent symbiot Wolverine across the map with this bad boy attack speaking of swinging I love it in this game there's something so acrobatic
about it that feels so good the whole movement system feels very fluid if you can Master it but now let's talk about the other versions Spider-Man weel sh Amazing Allies is not that great imagine your dad comes in with the new hit game Spider-Man Weber shadows and you're expecting to play this but when you load it up on your old ass PS2 you get this instead I don't know about you but I'd be [ __ ] destroyed however if he got me the DS version suddenly I'm happy again because it's quite good combat wise it
was a standout to me because I don't know why but something about dashing into these enemies and knocking them all over like bowling pins was satisfying as hell and I also thought this revive system was a neat little touch because I ended up getting battered by some of these enemies alog together though Web of Shadows had a good run in my opinion apart from the PS2 SL PSP version which I thought was kind of sloppy we have reached the end of another decade and before we move on to the 2010s let's take a quick look
at Spider-Man's mobile video games starting with Spider-Man toxic City a 2d SI scroller that had us fighting Green Goblin and saving New York from his toxic serum it was fun I'll give it that but it's just a classic beat him up game from the early mobile next up we have Spider-Man Total Mayhem which was a dramatic leaping quality this 3D action game had vibrant Graphics that blew me way back in the day I mean when you go from something like Doodle Jump to this is pretty significant but then came The Amazing Spider-Man on mobile which
gives us a mini console experience right on our phones the combat and whb Swinging were great for mobile but I'm still confused why the mobile version was able to get an open world but the Wii version couldn't Spider-Man ultimate power this game simplified things with a fastpac endless Runner format you get to battle villains like Green Goblin and Venom whilst collecting powerups and avoiding obstacles this one had to fall so the next endless Runner could fly but before we get to that just a year later The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Hit Mobile honestly I think I
only remember playing this on my nan Kindle finally we have Spider-Man Unlimited dead ass my favorite mobile game ever it's an endless Runner with a comic book art style and storyline where we get to team up with different Spider-Man variants across the Multiverse Yori low and four also Vo is Peter in this game which is so cool this was Treasure in my time and when I saw it get shut down I lost a pyam me that day oh and I forgot to mention Spiderman 2 on the Nokia it's Dreadful and I wouldn't even wish my
worst enemy to play it that being said that's all the mobile games let's move on to the 20110 ladies and gentlemen welcome to the second Spotlight game of the video Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions this game to me is yet another Timeless Masterpiece that's so innovative and creative it's truly insane to start we got to talk about the voice actors each Spider-Man is voiced by a person who previously voiced Spider-Man in an animated TV show that is just so cool my personal favorite is Josh Kon because he voiced The Spectacular Spider-Man aka the greatest Spider-Man show ever
made and I'll die on that Hill the four Spider-Man you get to play as have such a diverse amount of gameplay Amazing Spider-Man sticks to the classic Spidey action Ultimate Spider-Man Embraces the Symbio and allows you to take on so many enemies that once Spider-Man 2099 focuses on futuristic combat with the ability to move so fast that it slows down time and Spider-Man Noir is a pure stealth alongside this each one of them have completely different Aesthetics my God noirs is so damn cool bro how can you not love this they've also picked out some
top tier villains for this game Carnage Electro samman flipping Deadpool this design is hideous but still it's Deadpool now unlike most Spider-Man games being an open world experience this takes on a more linear approach and personally I think it works like a charm I've seen reviews about people complaining how a lot of the levels are similar in design and I'll admit it is a little like that but it never really crossed my mind was playing because every level is so different because you're playing as a different Spider-Man with completely different environments one minute you're trying
to stop a giant sand tornado next minute you're hiding in the shadows avoiding a cannibal vulture it's enough to make each level feel fresh and unique every every time and that's what I love about it this game also deserves the spotlight just for existing because without it we would have never have gotten the spider movies and I can't live without those shatter dimensions on the DS is enjoyable but very scaled back compared to the console version they completely got rid of Ultimate Spider-Man which I guess is fair because what they were going for here is
each Spider-Man lacks an ability that the other Spider-Man have and you have to gather conduits to gradually unlock all of their powers I'll be honest it's a tad confusing and little me would have had a breakdown trying to take in all of that information he also would have tweaked out not knowing that you had to grab boomerang's Boomerang and lob it straight back at him for a Solid 5 minutes I didn't know how to defeat this guy it's a little embarrassing but we got there in the end Spider-Man and Friends secret missions holy [ __
] what a throwback and a half this game is looking back on it now it seems like it was designed to be an educational experience where you play through different chapters as Spider-Man you do your shopping you do your recycling and you learn how to pack things up honestly I think this game was setting me up for adult Hood clearly my parents wanted me out the house as soon as possible Spider-Man Edge of Time okay what the flipx you come out with an absolute Banger filled with the most creative environments I have ever seen and
then you drop this game which keeps you in the same building the whole time for a good 5 hours you'll be looking at the same walls assets and enemies because everything here is set in alemx which is a boring sci-fi science lab you'll probably only recognize from the spiderverse movies this one is quite disappointing for me the game takes classic in 2099 Spider-Man where they tell a story based on what happens when you mess with the past and how that changes the future Edge of Time starts with the death of Spider-Man and in order to
prevent this both Peter and Miguel must stop antivenom who turns into this atrocity and later in the game you go on to fight the CEO AKA future petza Parker what a plot twist that was this game is praised for the writing and at times I can back that but most of it is the two Spider-Man giving attitude to each other and sometimes it's non stop personally I like this game for the combat and Black Cat the whole hypers speed ability for Peter seems very unrealistic but I like it same goes for the Free Fall sections
with Miguel Alat is got to be the world's tallest building because by golly they make this man free fall about over 5,000 stories now moving on to the DS version it's uh it's an odd one to start there are so many more boss fights in this game what the [ __ ] is Big will doing here scratch that what the [ __ ] is arcade doing here we haven't seen this guy since the '90s like Menace as well is that like a female Green Goblin I'm I'm I'm really not familiar even overdrive is in this
game it's like they randomly span a wheel to determine what villains they're going to put into this game and it just landed on the most obscure ones hell they even got rid of anti venom and replaced him with Rhino what a significant downgrade if you enjoyed this one as a kid fair play I can't say I would have but you know what I did enjoy The Amazing Spider-Man why is this game so damn cin itic sh I feel like I'm in a movie with this web Swinging The Amazing Spider-Man attempts something different with Spider-Man's movement
and that's called Web rush it allows you to slow down time and pick precise points in the environment to zip to and it's really fun to watch because you're just kind of letting all the movement happen but it's so clean I can't really hate on it this especially applies with the combat as well you're clicking one button here to do everything however because the animations have been glorified it looks like you're doing more listen as a kid I was Bamboozled by the story in this game fighting this was amazing but fighting this now oh no
no no this game makes no sense it's meant to be an epilog to the movie so we fight villains that have been tested for cross species like scorpion rhino rat guy man I I don't know what this is but worst of all these gigantic Mecha robots that cause catastrophic damage to the city controlled by the worst villain smif this guy's entire goal is to remove all living cross species including Spider-Man and later in the game he's actually successful and removes Peter's Powers which gives the lizard his whole Redemption Arc in the final battle I think
the best part about this game is finding all the spider logos to get the unlockable suits that [ __ ] is so nostalgic for me and if you thought the Wii and 3DS version were going to be the same it's really not because they take out the entire open world aspect and make it a linear game instead now this is kind of acceptable because of the hardware limitations but I think it's still disappointing and my God we cannot forget about the DS version this might be the worst Spider-Man DS game yet this game looks like
it had a budget lower than my last last McDonald's meal and that's being generous The Amazing Spider-Man 2 before we start I want to give you a heads up because I'm about to absolutely obliterate this game so if you have a soft spot for it I suggest clenching your Chocolate Starfish and prepare for the worst now for my first insult this game is trying too hard to give the plot CPR because it's on the brink of collapse every single level you've got Uncle Ben Skiller who survives for a Solid 5 minutes and that's that you've
got King Ben starting a crime syndicate that surprisingly last throughout the entire game and then there's Craven Who's acting like a mentor to Peter at first but then tries to kill him later fails and just disappears then we have Electro and Green Goblin the two villains from the movie and oh my God they are by far the worst Max Dylan appears for about 5 seconds in one level just glazing Spider-Man like the movie and the next time you see him is near the end of the game where he's Electro and you have one fight with
him and he dies as for Green Goblin he takes the spider serum but never ends up figuring out that Peter is Spider-Man so the Gwen in this universe is alive and healthy in this version yay the good ending just like Electro he shows up for one Mission and then dies I guess passes out maybe who knows that's literally the last time we see him and finally we have Carnage who's responsible for killing Uncle Ben's killer at the start of the game but we don't fight him until the very last mission the number of plot holes
is absurd there's no character development whatsoever and this might just be me but why does the game look uglier than the first one the web Swinging with both trigger buttons was a cool concept but terribly unsatisfying and this slingshot mechanic they implemented barely takes you more than 20 ft I've genuinely never seen a more pathetic mechanic the only praise I can give this game is Stanley having a black cat poster in the comic book store me and him are clearly on the same wavelength Spider-Man in VR okay so I'm going to going to briefly go
over these because both aren't anything special it's cool to shoot webs in VR very cool in fact but when there are other projects that are 10 times better project that we got chat spider ler you will never ever have to play these games ever again all right so I'm cutting this decade a little bit short because I want to do the final three games at the same time and not have some intervention in between ruining the flow so before we play the free Insomniac games let's take a look at games that feature Spider-Man I'm going
keep it real with you L there are so many games that feature Spider-Man I can seriously make a longer video about that than this so I'm only going to go over the ones I care about personally and I want you guys to comment below your favorite game featuring Spider-Man but let's start with the one I mentioned at the beginning because you know video lore Quest robe featuring Spider-Man it's diabolical and I did not enjoy it next I want to talk about all the Marvel versus Capcom games most of these are legendary titles Marvel versus Capcom
fate of Two Worlds especially is my childhood and there wasn't a fight where I didn't have Spider-Man on the team also if you're paying attention as well you'll notice that this is the Spider-Man I have been animating throughout the entire video from Marvel versus Capcom 2 thank you to Sprite resources Disney Infinity 2.0 they gave Spider-Man his OB plays it and iing adored it the Lego Marvel games specifically the first one because that one is just goated and finally fortnite please don't leave the video I have good reasoning when Spider-Man came to the game in
chapter 3 season 1 life was at an alltime Peak you could swing with the web shooters Around The Daily Bugle and mechanically it's really good so much better than the [ __ ] Avengers game which is wild and I also have every Spider-Man skin available but those are my favorite games featuring Spider-Man leave yours below but now we can move on to the final three Spider-Man games in the 2020s kind of we have now reached the final Spotlight game of the video this game has a special place in my heart and goes down as my
favorite Spider-Man game ever made I've kind of taken the piss throughout the entire video but now we're going to get down and personal Marvel Spider-Man from the minute it was revealed 9 years ago at E3 left an excitement in my heart that I haven't felt for a game since seriously nothing will compare to the day I ran home from school to sit and play this game until my eyes couldn't stay open anymore I can't even comprehe head in the joy I felt because this is a core memory that will stay with me for the rest
of my life and I know it may sound corny and a little bit silly it's just a video game right but to me starting up that game putting that suit on then jumping out of that window and Swinging had me in a state of mind I can't even explain the story of this game is one of my favorite Spider-Man stories ever playing as an older Peter who's more experience that Spider-Man really resonated with me you feel the weight of his journey the struggles he's faced and the balance he's trying to find between being Peter Parker
and Spider-Man the way the game presents his relationships with anme Mary Jane miles and especially Dr Octavius a mentor who you slowly watch become overpowered by his own obsessions as his body continues to fail him it's just so beautifully crafted it felt like a true Spider-Man Story full of heart and real Stakes combined it with the game play Insomniac blessed us with a movement system that flows majestically The Swinging blew my mind and became therapy for me I know one of you out there have also hopped onto this game and have mindlessly swung with your
Spotify playlist blasting in the background building that momentum to sore through the best representation of New York City I've ever seen in a video game is so fun the combat as well is the best we've ever seen I'm still convinced Spider-Man accidentally kills people with some of these finishers because I know for sure no normal human could take a blow like that the gadgets and super moves were also a blast to play with as well realistically it all came down to only using web Blossom and impact webs those two are spectacular and I deeply miss
them but even with all of that what really cemented this game as my favorite is the emotional depth it takes on take off your Mas I want to see my nephew damn it it still gets me to this day this wasn't just a game about beating up bad guys it's a game game about loss sacrifice awesome missions not so awesome missions but we need character development so I'll let that slide and of course black cat sorry I might have just ruined a good moment there Jokes Aside this game is a 10 out of 10 it's
in my eyes a perfect story about Peter Parker and a perfect origin story to Miles Morales this is a much shorter experience compared to Peter's journey and I see a lot of people say it could have been a DLC well I'm so glad it wasn't having a full game revolved round miles felt fresh and unique leaping off these buildings and falling into a head first dive is just full of the exaggerated Swagger of a black teen no I'm kidding that is not the script we're going off but Insomniac did cook with Mars's animations because they
take a more realistic approach of an upcoming Spider-Man that isn't as polished as Peter yet being able to do so many more air tricks compared to the four that were in the first game made the web swinging so much more fun chain this together with the Venom jump and dash two oh incredible the combat itself has a huge upgrade combining the gadgets on the first game with Mars's Venom Powers along with camouflage this dude is actually so powerful and the story is once again fantastic witnessing his gradual progression of stepping into the shoes of Spider-Man
was dealing with the loss of his dad finding out his uncle was the prowler and nuking his best friend in the sky was uh was something M moras may be a shorter game but it doesn't feel like it's lacking it's a great continuation to his story and might I say it needed to happen for our last and final game to work Marvel Spider-Man 2 is the combination of everything Insomniac has built so far I mean right from the start you can tell it's clear that the game is bigger Bolder and more ambitious than anything they
have ever done before the first cut scene having miles and Peter suit up to get ready to take down Sandman was the most exciting intro for a game I ever played the fight itself was just something straight out of the movie we can now play has both Spider-Man and Insomniac still manages to expand their unique abilities Peter especially has been given the whole package here with the iron arms and Symbio oh boy the Symbiote the aggression the rule power the rage mode where you literally become Unstoppable you can feel the weight and brutality behind every
attack which makes it feel satisfying as hell but it's not just a visual changer the Symbio attacks Peter's mind destroy us shifting his personality why don't you pop some more pills and say what you're really hey making him feel like everything is his fault and the solution is the symbiot I need this suit it makes me a better Spiderman I think it's a perfect portrayal of what the symbiot can do and how much damage it can cause my absolute favorite mission in this game was where we get to rip it off which seems kind of
ironic because of how much I love to use it but I can explain how good this moment is the music the emotion The Battle Before with Craven edging on Peter to kill him and he was going to do it until my mil came in and saved them from the suit a relief hits you when you finally separated although I did miss angry Yuri L andf the story up to this part of the game is phenomenal and I can say that because act 3 was so unfortunately rushed it hurts the soul knowing how much content Insomniac
had to cut to meet the deadline but I still really enjoyed act 3 oh the moment where we play as Venom had me sat in my chair in pure disbelief that this is a reality seeing Harry instantly be overpowered by the Symbio due to his weak and vulnerable body waited on me till the very end of the game the arcs they cooked for each character sink so well together miles confronting Martin Lee learning to accept and move forward that entire story is brilliant and the open world is bigger and better than ever before I think
this is the best movement system in any game ever the web wings at a dynamic depth that lets you travel faster than ever other mechanics like the slingshot and loop-de-loop were things I've always wanted to see done properly in a Spider-Man game and here it is there's much more to say about this game every villain here is amazing with Incredible boss fights from the lizard to Craven to Venom how even fighting scream for that one mission was awesome to see now what am I thinking this game also deserves the spotlight and with that being said
Spider-Man is a character that's come a long way we went from this to this in a span of 50 minutes or so covering over 60 video games every decade has bought something new looking back it's clear that Spider-Man is an icon the greatest superhero of all time and if you've managed to Fu it out to this part of the video from the bottom of my heart thank you so much for watching if you'd like to share your appreciation in any way liking the video or subscribing is greatly obliged but hey this has been me playing
every Spider-Man game ever
