But credit must be given to the Edge of Reality team for their creative solution to help drive the story. Unlike the PlayStation version of the title, there are no FMVs between levels due to size-restricting nature of the cartridge format. But that's just the start, as you'll find many twists and turns, including the eventual kidnapping of your wife, Mary Jane Parker. The story unfolds as Peter Parker witnesses an imposter Spider-Man steal a new piece of technology at a press conference, and thus Spidey is on the run from the law and in pursuit of the culprit. And yes, you will kick some serious tail with plenty of web attacks and superhero brute strength.
You'll crawl on ceilings and up into ventilation shafts as you attempt to rescue hostages. You'll chase villains across rooftops and run from pursuing helicopters as you swing from building to building. Although this game features fully 3D players and environments and is peppered with a few non-linear elements, for the most part players will take control of Spidey and run, punch, kick, crawl, and swing through roughly 34 levels of fun based in New York City, much like the action days of old. This formula has been done a hundred times, but fortunately it works just as well the 101st time in Spider-Man. Gameplay Ever since the early days of action games, players have been scrolling from left to right across their screens punching, kicking, hacking, and slashing their way to the final boss encounter.

Activision had released a PlayStation version of the title a few months earlier under the work of developer Neversoft Entertainment, and like its previous smash-hit Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, the task of bringing this highly anticipated game to the Nintendo cart-based console has been turned over to the Edge of Reality crew.
#SPIDER MAN 2000 CARTOON SPIDERMAN LICENSE#
Now it is the year 2000, and famed videogame publisher Activision has picked up the license to this timeless superhero and has now brought Spider-Man to the N64 courtesy of developer Edge of Reality. And so, being the good boy his mother raised him to be, Parker decides to put his talents to use keeping New York City safe from hoodlums and villains. Peter Parker is his name, and after having been bit by a spider late one night and receiving superhuman abilities, he decides to construct a homemade wrist device for slinging a sticky web of goo anywhere he pleases. There have been many such comic book heroes over time, but one of the most popular to date is the web-crawler himself: Spider-Man. Back before we had daily cartoons to entertain the masses, comic books were the national craze, allowing both kids and adults to live out their wildest fantasies as the forces of good battled the hordes of evil.
