Spider-Man (2000 video game): Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

The game begins with the allegedly reformed Dr. Otto Octavius showing off a brand-new project of his at a science expo, when all of a sudden, a familiar hero clad in red-and-blue tights bursts in and steals his invention...except that Peter Parker is in the audience, watching the heist unfold. Spider-Man then finds not just the police on his tail, but every villain in the city is on a simultaneous crime spree, including Venom, after the imposter-Spidey destroyed Eddie Brock's camera and ruined his chances of getting a good shot of Spider-Man red-handed. In addition, all of New York is blanketed by a mysterious fog, and it's up to Spider-Man to sort it all out.

* [[Big Bad]]: {{spoiler|Dr. Octopus.}}

* [[Big No]]: {{spoiler|Mysterio}} gives a particularly long one after being defeated.

* [[Bullfight Boss]]: Rhino again. Spidey even shouts "Toro, Toro!"

* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Venom. He doesn't realise that it ''can't'' have been the real Spider-Man who raided the expo since he bumped into Peter whilst the heist was going on until Spidey points this out to him, and when asked for suggestions on who might have wanted the stolen technology, he suggests Namor, Thor and Galactus.

** Though to be fair, he didn't recognize Peter at the time they bumped into each other at the expo (and it ''was'' in the midst of a crowd stampede).

** You can get to the [[Fantastic Four|Baxter Building]] in the first level.

** In the Venom chase scene level, you bypass the [[Iron Man|Stark Enterprises]] building.

** {{spoiler|[[Big Damn Heroes|And then he saves you using the Fantastic Four flying car]] at the end}}.

* [[The Dev Team Thinks of Everything]]: If you actually manage to get out of Venom's line of sight in your first fight with him (usually via exploiting a glitch that puts you ''under'' the arena), he starts yelling, wondering where you are.

* [[Everything Is Smashable Area]]: When you fight the Scorpion, you can destroy absolutely everything in Jameson's office. As a matter of fact, destroying everything on the first room is a requirement to get a comic book.

* [[He Knows About Timed Hits]]: Black Cat.

{{quote|'''The Human Torch''': Look everyone!!! [[Incredibly Lame Pun|I'm on fire!!!]]}}

* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Of course, true believers!!! [[Stan Lee]] narrating here!!! Excelsior!!!

* [[Improvised Weapon]]: Trust me, you don't want to face some of the bosses toe to toe.

* [[Inferred Holocaust]]: After his defeat at the hands of Spider-Man, {{spoiler|Cletus Kassady is abandoned by the Carnage symbiote, which then bonds with Doctor Octopus and chases after Spider-Man}} as the underwater base explodes around them. Considering the fight takes place at the bottom of the lab, it's highly unlikely {{spoiler|Kassady}} managed to escape the explosions, and there's no way he would have survived {{spoiler|without the symbiote}}.

* [[Story-Driven Invulnerability]]: When you race against Venom, you can't damage him at all.

** Nor, when fleeing from {{spoiler|Monster Ock}}, can you actually try to fight him off.

* [[Video Game Cruelty Potential]]: Beating up thugs? Funny enough. Beating up thugs while invisible to the naked eye? ''Oh, yeah''. And if you have unlimited webbing, you can play with them even more. It's really fun doing this to them.

** On some rooftops, you can web throw thugs off the building. If you punch/kick them off, they'll stop in mid-air, stand up, look down, and then fall screaming to their deaths [[Looney Tunes]] style.
