Spider-man From Different Dimension Awesome game to play, simple straight forward linear game play with nice fights and story. Game ends with cliffhanger but unfortunately no sequel was made, I wish this game had sequel. Need more of these types of linear single player story mode games.

Underrated gem. The gameplay has aged incredibly. The weight behind your swinging feels very nice. Getting a good rhythm down as your traverse each level is intoxicating. Using your arm in combat is also very fun. It can be very fun to use it strategically. Pulling yourself towards a group of enemies, tossing the heavy enemies away, and sweeping up the rest is incredibly fun. For $10, it may be a bit over priced as it's a very short experience, but if you're looking for a good ol' video game ass video game, this should definitely be on your radar.

This was the one of the first video games i ever played back in 2009, and its still just as fun as i remember it. story is fairly shorter then i remembered but it still dosent disappoint. higher end pcs gotta make sure they cap their frame rate to like 60 to 120 though because the physics in the game starts breaking REALLY BAD past that. unless you wanna play it like that it is kinda funny and challenging.

I feel like I need to apologize but I enjoyed the shit out of this game. I guess going into something with low expectations can really help. I was a huge fan of the original NES game and I put off playing this for years because word of mouth on it was so mediocre. Honestly, it's better than I ever hoped a modern adaptation of the Bionic Commando gameplay could be. Swinging is an absolute joy and an extremely unique mechanic. The levels are well designed for flying around all over the place and climbing all over everything. The physics are great and flinging fascists 3 miles into the horizon and listening to their screams trail off never gets old. The game runs wonderfully on a newer PC. And the difficulty on hard is perfect. I went into this one hoping to have some fun and I ended up enjoying the nearly whole darn thing. A few small gripes, exploration can lead to an almost instant kill if you step outside the intended game boundaries, which is super annoying. These areas are not well marked, and sometimes before I know it I'm dead from radiation exposure or from getting too close to fire. Sometimes this kills you so quickly I wonder if it's a bug resulting from running on modern fast computers. Also, that big worm boss toward the end of the game was frustrating. There needed to be a checkpoint in the middle of that fight because figuring out what to do in the second phase took some trial and error and repeatedly slogging through the first phase was really tedious.

Good cheap game, short 6 hrs length which worked well for this game, good graphics for its time and runs well on SD OLED
