The story, which includes voice-acted cutscenes, features all of the characters you’d hope to see, like Mary Jane and J. It ended up being a celebration of the character. Batman and Superman had movies, and others like Spider-Man had cartoons and toys, but you weren’t as likely to say the phrase “My mom really likes Spider-Man” like you are today. Sure, he was a big deal in the comic book world, but this was before even superheroes themselves went super-mainstream. In 2000, he was just another comic book character. That’s what promoted the hero to American icon. This was also before Spider-Man was the giant star he is today. I’m talking about a game simply called Spider-Man, which came out for the PlayStation in 2000, with other versions following for Nintendo 64, Dreamcast, and PC.

But I’m going back just a bit further, before Spider-Man became a movie star. That movie-based game is the first to put the web-slinger in an open world, and its swinging mechanics still feel great. And no, I’m not talking about 2004’s Spider-Man 2.

I’m thinking about a Spider-Man game from the past. Having played some of Insomniac’s open-world superhero game at the Electronic Entertainment Expo this year, I’m pumped to play the rest of it.īut before that, I’m feeling a bit nostalgic (which, to be fair, is kinda how I always feel). We’re just a few weeks away from the release of a new Spider-Man game, which will be a PlayStation 4 exclusive when it launches on September 4.
