CVG: CEO Bobby Kotick tells us what we've suspected for years...
From the Amazing Spider-Man series to the most recent titles and DLCs, explore which Spider-Man game deserves to be ranked first and why.
Spider-Man 2 (2004) and Ultimate Spider-Man use to be my favorite until Insomniac games took over.
My favorite and still champion Spiderman PS2, followed by Marvels Spiderman2, then Miles Morales, followed by Marvels Spiderman, and finally Ultimate Spiderman.
I need to drag out my PS3 and try Web of Shadows, owned the game for years and years and never played.
Spider-Man (2000), Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro, and Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions were all so good! I have fond memories playing them.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is a hotly anticipated game, and one that I'm desperate to play, but why wait when you can play Spider-Man Web of Shadows right now?
web of shadows had more unique fun ideas for it to me. spider man 1 and 2 wiil surely be cool though
Ultimate is overall better. Web of Shadows had an interesting idea, but the mission structure in the first half made no sense.

2600 Spider-man was the first I ever played. So many memories of that and Superman game. I didn't play another SM game until the Sega CD Spider-man vs the Kingpin
Spider-Man 2018 (Insomniac’s game) is the absolute worst…I’m kidding, I’m kidding. The absolute BEST Spider-Man games to date!
1. Spider-Man: Miles Morales “ “Insomniac”
2. Marvels Spider-Man 2018 “Insomniac”
3. Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions.
4 Spider-Man 2.
5 Spider-Man (I forget the name) but I played it when I was about 10 or so, back in school. I thought it was the coolest game (which was a side scroller) and believe it or not, I felt like I was playing Spider-Man lol. If only I knew what the future would hold for technology, the talent of artists in these studios in the future, my eyes and brain would melt outta my head haha.
The first one I played was on the Game Gear called Spider-man vs the Kingpin. Definitely one of the worst Spider-Man games but I loved it as a kid. My favorite Spider-Man games include Spider-Man PS1/64, Maximum Carnage, Web Of Shadows, Shattered Dimensions, ASM 1 and the two Sony recent Sony exclusive ones. Edge of Time and ASM 2 get honorable mentions because though I did enjoy them both felt like step back from the previous titles.
Spider-Man The Movie, the game will probably be my favorite SP game ever, with the nostalgia goggles on. I doubt it would hold up at all today. Shattered Dimensions was great too.
No kidding. Last good one was Spider-Man 2 (the movie game).
I'm glad that they see how bad their previous games were. I hope Activision took some notes from Eidos. those guys brought batman's popularity back up again in the gaming industry.
Web of Shadows was actually VVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRYYYYYY YYY FUN!
The dialogue sucked balls though...
kotick's still an @sshole =]
Spiderman 2 sucked... The only Spiderman game that was actually decent in the last 10 years was the 1st one, and it even sucked. But it still had more going for it than the others. What kills me is Spiderman 3 had the same exact gameplay as Spiderman 2. Yet, Spiderman 2 doesn't suck but Spiderman 3 does??? Please... They all suck. Equally. Don't pull punches or play favorites. The bad thing is these idiots have been working on Spiderman IP for years and years and yet they can't pull off a decent one... SuckerPunch plays around with the superhero concept a bit and lands a homerun out of the gate with Infamous.
The crawling and scailing in that game blows away anything Spiderman has ever done in gaming.
Spiderman needs to go back to code. They need to wrangle the license away from Sucktivison and hand it off to someone capable. Probably someone inside Sony's camp.
Oh, and the reason why Spiderman games suck, like most superhero games... They are all based off the movies and not their comic book roots. Go back to the comics and you'll have some good material to work with. Keep hashing out junk games based on junk movies and you'll get junk everytime.
