About This Game
Notable for being the first Spider-Man game with full voice acting, including Stan Lee's narration and Kingpin's threats delivered via FMV cutscenes that pushed the Sega CD's capabilities.
The gameplay alternates between traditional platforming and investigative sequences where Spider-Man must interrogate suspects (including cameos by Venom and Black Cat) using dialogue trees.
The CD soundtrack dynamically changes based on gameplay situations, while the 'Hero Points' system rewards non-lethal takedowns of enemies - a unique mechanic for superhero games of this era.
