After last years glorious Spider-Man 2 console spin-off, expectations were high for the web-slingers PSP debut. But while the game beautifully captures the spirit of the movie and features a gallery of bonus rogues from the Marvel comics, the thrills are over much too quickly.
Although the action isnt staged in the huge, free-roaming city seen in the recent PS2 and Xbox games, the 20 brisk levels still allow players to get to grips with all Spideys signature moves, including climbing any surface, pummelling enemies with a string of vicious attacks and swinging around New York using the heros steely webs.
Sadly, though, hardened fans will have no trouble blasting through the whole adventure in a single sitting, and once youve beaten Doc Ock and his minions theres nothing left to bring you back for more.
