![]() ![]() If it wasn't for the huge SEGA logo at the start of the game, one would almost think it is some Data East's attempt to cleanse their name. The control scheme and the whole gameplay system is identical to Captain America. ![]() And just like in CA, up to two players can play simultaneously on a single machine. Aside from Spidey, the game features three other playable characters in total (just like in CA). Now, while Captain America is more of a heroes- save-the-world kind of epos, Spiderman follows a more episodic story-arch, revolving around the eponymous Spidey busting various Marvel-verse villains. So forgive me, if I keep comparing these two games throughout the review, but since I'm writing this after finishing the review of Captain America, I just can't really help it. But these, almost fricking identical, games released in the same year will probably never ever cease to amaze me (Black Tiger and Tiger Road, anyone?). After a while, one gets used to the fact, that once you've played one side-scrolling brawler, you've played them all. Really, although there are differences, the similarities between the two games (especially considering the release dates) are astonishingly striking. And everything Captain America didn't get quite right, Spiderman did. Released in the very same year as Data East's Captain America an the Avengers, SEGA's Spiderman is yet another Marvel superhero game from the early 1990's.
