Developed by Edge Of Reality and published by Activision, Spider-Man arrived on the Nintendo 64 in 2000 as a beat 'em up. It blends beat 'em up and action elements.
It landed about 4 years into the N64's life. Other notable N64 releases from 2000 include The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, Paper Mario and Mario Party 3.
It is part of the Spider-Man series. The series also appears on other systems with Spider-Man: Return of the Sinister Six (NES) and Spider-Man 2: The Sinister Six (GBC). Edge Of Reality also made Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 for the N64.
Spider-Man is a single-player game, so it's one to enjoy at your own pace.
Pick it if…
- you want to fight, blast and test your reflexes
- you have time for a quick session (under an hour, or endless arcade fun)
- you want to experience one of the N64's defining games
Maybe skip it if…
- you want depth and variety over simple, satisfying brawling
- you are looking for something to play with friends
What playing Spider-Man is like
Beat 'em ups send you down scrolling streets fighting waves of thugs with punches, kicks, throws and grabbed weapons. Most can be finished in a single sitting and shine with a second player.
Tip for newcomers: Avoid getting surrounded: keep enemies on one side of you and save your special attacks for crowds. Bring a friend if the game supports co-op.
