Spider-Man: The Movie for the GCN (and other next-gen systems) has very good points and less good points.
The good:
The plot follows the movie pretty closely. It adds in a bunch of extra villains and activities that weren't really in the film, but unless you want the game to be two hours long, there's not much else to do. But in any case, it's pretty good.
The graphics are *far* superior to the Spider-Man game released a few years back on the Playstation. It's clear that it's built on a similar engine, but everything looks a lot better. The outdoor levels, in particular, feature a very long draw distance and a very realistic-looking city skyline.
Finally, the gameplay through most of the game is fantastic. The outdoor levels, where you get to sling and swing your way across the New York City skyline, are stunning. Even the indoor levels look pretty good. And Spidey is equipped (eventually) with a wide variety of acrobatic moves, and an expanded repotoire of web abiliites, such as pulling himself forwards while running towards a wall. You can also get a first-person view, making those tricky swings and zip-lines much easier. Swinging no longer eats up your web meter, making the outdoor levels much less tedious.
So what's the problem?
The gameplay really bogs down in the middle of the game, while you're trying to sneak into and investigate Oscorp. There are several levels where you have to crawl around in the shadows without being seen, and these stand in stark contrast to the non-stop action of the rest of the game. I found them to be mostly just a huge pain -- especially when I opened one door in the Oscorp offices and was immediately shredded by half a dozen combat robots. Whoops, guess I wasn't supposed to go that way.
Also, many of the levels seem very, very linear. I know they're trying to make the game accessible to younger players, but there *are* other gameplay mechanics than "Oh no, the bad guy is behind a locked door. Find the key and/or switch that opens it!"
I am also not a fan of having to find dozens of hidden little items throughout the game to unlock all your abilities. I wish they'd just give Spider-Man new combos with each level, and only hidden a few of them, or have the hidden things be stuff like extra costumes, artwork galleries, etc. Maybe it's just me.
Finally, what exactly are you swinging on in the outdoor levels when you're between or *above* buildings? Just a thought. :P
As far as licensed movie games go, it's a winner -- though there are better titles out there for the GCN. I'd probably give it 3-3.5 stars for its uneven gameplay, but I'll bump it up to 4 just for the fights against the Green Goblin. :)

Spiderman the movie is a top notch butt kicking, knucle wrenching game.Despite the lame jokes and the repeated one-liners this is the superhero game of all superhero games (puts X-Men and Batman to shame).You play as Peter Pan aka Spiderman.This game ofers you the chance to pit yourself Spidey's deadliest foes- Green Goblin,Shocker,AND Scorpion. You start the game by searching NY to find Peter's uncle Ben's killer.The only problem with this is that there is more than 1 of them. This pits you against deadly gang members and you come face to face with the killer himself.
You may face the problem with dodgy camera angles and lameass jokes but overall this game is fun for both childeren and adults
as you work your way through different levels offering stealth, imagination (do what you want basically), and lunatic bosses. Watchout as you start off hunting down the killer of Peter's uncle and coming mask to mask with the Goblin and a deadly final showdown at the bridge.
'Twas a hard game to complete but hey that's life for ya! Also look out for some ceadly cheats that you are able to unlock once you complete the game. Favourite cheat-play as the Green Goblin aka Harr...oopppps to much info...enjoy the game!

For a start, the graphics are amazing! allaround good not just the characters or environments but both and everything else! Multiple training modes allow you to get comfortable with the controls before starting the Story Mode, not to mention the tutorial with a witty and hilarous narrator. Now to get into the Rest of the Game, The story Starts with a search for uncle ben's killer in the first three "origins" levels: "Search for Justice", "Warehouse Hunt", and "Birth of a Hero". Next is the "Oscorps Gambit" level in which you pose for your camera(shooting a balloon with you webs). The next part is a nice insert that is an expansion on the story in the Movie. The Shocker Levels "The Subway Station", "Chase Through The Sewer", and "Showdown With The Shocker". Then the Three Vulture Levels "Vulture's Lair", "Vulture Escapes", and Air Duel With Vulture". Then the Scorpion Levels "Corralled" and "Scorpion's Revenge". Next, the Unity Day Festival scene and beyond, from the movie is in corporated nicely as "Coup D'Etat", "The Offer", "Race Aganst Time", and "The Razor's Edge". Next Spidy has to investigate Oscorp because he found their logo on one of Goblin's weapons, in "Breaking and Entering", "Chemical Chaos", "Oscorp's Ultimate Weapon", and "Escape from Oscorp". Last but not least, the spectacular ending of the movie is recreated nicely recreated in teh last two levels: "Mary Jane Kidnapped" and "Face-Off at the Bridge"!
The GamePlay in this game is invinently addicting, and you'll find yourself sitting down with one of the training mode levels, quite offen, just to play. As for Saving your game, it takes only 2 blocks and your asked to save after every level. Also In most levels, there are Golden Spiders that give you extra fighting combos. The Most important combo is the "HandSpring" obtained in the "Birth of a Hero" Level. Don't miss it!
Overall Rating: "Must Buy" weather your a fan of Spider-man or not, this game is spectacular.

You know, its rare to see a good game come thats based on a movie. I mean, has anyone PLAYED the matrix?!?
Spider-Man is a good game, both as a comic book and a movie game.
The ability to web sling, which is much better than in it's ps1 and n64 days,is fun to do and is well implemented for the air battles. In fact, I'm glad that they added the Green Goblin as a playable character, because it forced them to rework the web slinging aspect of the game.
The bosses are believable, and fun to fight. There are a few stealth missions, and well implemented at that.
And the bonus features. 3 costumes for Spider-Man can be used, and the green goblin becomes a playable character as well. There is even a bowling mini-game to unlock.
All in all, a very good game for a very good character.
