i most say...i'm quite pleased

i'll start w/ my first impressions of SPIDERMAN (I didn't play enuff to write a review). So far i'm pleased. SLICK prestentation...great cut sceens. gameplay so far seems somewhat difficult.(as in i didn't master it my first or second go around) the game seems to have enuff # of moves to keep most gamers pleased. from basic land and arial combat moves and web moves..to advanced combos u can earn byfingding hidden icons. Grachics overall are pretty impressive but sometimes remind me of a cross between maxpayne and tonyhawk (gee i wonder y?). a couple other things that i was impressed by were the indepth tutorials. it has funny commentary and MANY different options. ie..basic combat,basic zip, basic webswinging, basic airia combat..then advances to eadvanced and expert levels for all mentioned above. plus a cool combat round where u fine tune all your skills buy fighting non stop regenerating baddies that get smarter and tuffer the farther u get. also the game features a shop to buy new customs (and who knows what else) by good level scores and has a cheat menu(i'm curious to see what activision implemented!). now as some xba's might know, i'm not to big on single player games w/out much replay value (unless their that good) and i bought it on a whim thinking i was probably gonna return it, but after a short night of playing (only on normal mode) and seeing the challenge i had and all the extras that seem to be available...this game might sit in my collection instead of back on EB's self.

as for NBA2k2...well all the reviews were right...this is deffinately the best B-ball game i've played...i was hesitant to purchase it because i owned 2k1 for DC and i'm figuring 2k3 will be online...but since i picked it up for 45...i'm almost definately gonna keep this one as well. the comentary rocks...and i like the streetmode option that kind of gives me the "i got a toneddown nbastreet and a the best sim bball game available for the price of one" feeling.

just my.02 for whoeva gives a rat's ash
