Eurogamer have posted their review of Spide-Man: the Movie by Activision. The game is based on the movie (surprise, surprise) and here is part of what they had to say:

There are two basic types of action in Spider-Man: fighting and swinging. Most of the game plays like a classic beat-em-up; Spider-Man has an array of punches and kicks at his disposal. Collecting "combo spider" icons will open up new fighting moves, so the hero's attack list is always expanding as the adventure unfolds. In addition to his powers of pugilism, Spider-Man can also employ web fluid in a number of ways. It can be used to tie up his opponents, flip switches, shield him from attacks, and of course, swing from the rafters. Many thugs, even on the early levels, come packing heat, and the only way to stay alive is to outmaneuver their gunfire. To this end, you'll make extensive use of the Web Zip, which allows you to shoot webbing at any wall, ceiling, or floor, and immediately "zip" to that location. Using this technique, you can bounce around rooms at high speeds. If your moves are fancy enough, the bad guys will even stop talking trash and start exclaiming "he's too fast" and "where did he go?" Lastly, by hiding in shadows, you can usually escape detection altogether. In some later levels, you are severely outnumbered, and stealth becomes a necessary tactic and a welcome play variation.
