The Spider Is In For The Fight Of His Life

The Spider Is
In For The Fight Of His Life

Get ready for
web-slinging, night-crawling fun this spring as Activision brings the beloved
superhero to PS2, Xbox, GBA and GAMECUBE, while Tobey McGuire plays the title
role in the feature film Spiderman: The Movie in theaters.

Long-Term
Heroes

By now, everybody
knows that The Lord Of The Rings trilogy represents an unprecedented cinematic
undertaking: three films made simultaneously over 1 years of production. But
Columbia Pictures isn’t pulling any punches either — they have all the pieces in
place to turn Spider-Man into the next big franchise. Director Sam Raimi and
stars Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst have all signed on to continue their work,
so fans can look forward to the webbed adventures in theaters for the next
several years.

The Man Behind
The Mask

Compared to other
superheroes, Spider-Man is just a kid — just your average everyday high-school
student. But millions of loyal fans can relate to Spider-Man’s alter ego, Peter
Parker and his realistic teenage problems like peer pressure, girls, job and
school. His maturity, combined with a wise-cracking but perceptive attitude,
make him one of the most unique and well-developed character in superhero
history.

Spider Hype
Reigns Supreme

In the highly
anticipated Spider-Man: The Movie game from Activision, due to be released
almost simultaneously with the movie, you play as Spider-Man/Peter Parker.
Across brilliantly detailed environments, Spidey kicks butt, shimmies up the
side of buildings, shoots webs, swings across the night sky and takes on the
classic uber bad guy the Green Goblin. The Green Goblin, for those not steeped
in comic lore, is Norman Osborn, the father of Peter’s friend Harry, and the
owner of a leading chemical manufacturer, and is on one heck of a power trip.
During experiments with a dangerous formula, Osborne was contaminated — turning
into an insane super-powered-up villain. Threatening the future of New York City
with dastardly plans, the Green Goblin wreaks havoc wherever he goes and only
the man in the spider suit can stop him. Hardcore fans and newcomers to the
story will have plenty to cheer about when Spider-Man: The Movie Game and the
feature film wrap their web around audiences and gamers this spring.
