Swinging between the skyscrapers of Manhattan, the drop under your feet, the web snapping taut at the last second.

The profile rests on very few votes, so take it as a first impression rather than a verdict. And that impression is a warm one. Attachment puts it ahead of nearly 80% of games, desert island and fun sit in the same high band, and the wish to rediscover it too. The community clearly holds a fond memory of this ride. Only art direction lags, around the lower middle, which makes sense for a 2004 game judged through today's eyes. That one needs more duels to confirm.

In the open-world superhero genre, it was the reference for a long time, for one simple reason, the joy of movement. Modern Spider-Man games have smoothed everything out since, but this title keeps a raw sense of freedom that sticks in the memory.

So, who is it for? For you if you love the rush of motion and the nostalgia of a classic speaks to you. A lot less if you judge first on visual impact, because here the years show.
