While Neversoft is all over control schemes, the camera implementation problems found in earlier versions of Spider-Man have made the leap to Dreamcast as well. Needless to say, this is a very, very bad thing. This means up becomes down and left becomes right just because you made an innocent leap onto the side of a building. An option to center the camera could have gone a long way toward avoiding this problem. Obviously Neversoft found themselves in the unenviable position of trying to balance the ability to crawl on walls, ceilings, and buildings with the need to keep you oriented, but the final result does not work as well as intended.
Environments are rather sparse.
Outdoors web-slinging across the cityscape is particularly poor thanks to the putrid fog trick that limits visibility in all directions. Utilizing the talented Tommy Tallarico Studios, Spider-Man's sound is fully competent, though I expected more. That's the problem in a nutshell, background music is either nonexistent or in the form of a funky bass line that pipes up during tense moments. Variations on the fantastic 1970's Spider- Man theme song serve the title much better. Spidey's voice work is high quality, though I did tire of the pedestrian quips after awhile.
