The Most Underrated Spider-Man Game: Neversoft's Spider-Man 2000: 20 Year Retrospective

[@SuperSwimTeam7]

Thanks for checking out the new vid! Spider-Man 2000 was my first game, and it's always been close to my heart. If you want to follow me elsewhere, check out my social media here kel.la/sst7 I post on discord and Twitter whenever I stream, I should be streaming more often once Marvel's Avengers comes out!

Neversoft: Didn't made symbiotes look scary for children Also Neversoft: Made Doctor Carnage .

Those screams are the stuff of nightmares

[@JunKazamaFan]

Such a fun classic! Venom was gold in this game, and who could ever forget that intense Monster Ock climax?

[@SuperSwimTeam7]

Right??? As a kid I got stuck on and didn't even know it was the last level

[@turtato2155]

As a kid that mission gave me nightmares after I played but it was worth it.

[@stanfordfeynman2796]

Rino Romano’s Spidey voice is just perfect to me. Even if the material he was given made his performance seem cheesy at times, the tone of the voice itself is the bridge between CDB’s intellectual side and Josh Keaton’s wit. That’s exactly what it should be! And geez man, you killed it with the editing in this video! Wonderful job!

[@SuperSwimTeam7]

Right? And iirc he's the only VA to be both Spider-Man and Batman, and he did an amazing job at both. And thanks! I've been spending so much time grinding this video, so that's why uploads have been scarce in the mean time. This video had to come out today, on the 20th anniversary. I appreciate the kind words and I hope the vid was enjoyable!

[@sweatycrackz7617]

Rino is by far the most underrated spiderman VA. He makes a perfect adult spiderman. I want him to he in spiderverse 2

[@seanmiller4170]

I just kinda want to hear more from Rino in general. Been a while since he voiced anything big

[@antdujar]

Agreed. He just had the right kind of voice that matched the character perfectly.

[@amarson2322]

he was also luis in re4

[@tristanchuey]

The voice actor in this game for Spidey was really perfect. I wish he did more Spider-Man stuff.

Same here, it's such a classic!

[@DiegoReviews]

It’s surreal learning new things about this game decades after it came out. The modding community is awesome for what they do. Keeping a 20 year old game alive like that is nothing to sneeze at. Great video!

[@SuperSwimTeam7]

Right? It's so wild to think that the game might be more popular today then it was in 2010. It's a classic, I wish more people recognized it as such! I love learning about its history

[@SuperSwimTeam7]

And thank you!!!

[@nicks4802]

The opening words of Stan Lee almost bring me to tears these day. He was so enthusiastic about all things marvel, but especially Spidey. The way he lays out the very beginning of the game for you, welcoming you in as the player and telling you to prepare yourself for an awesome adventure, And he did it absolutely perfectly. There are few real life people you could squeeze a voiceclip from into a game and have it be such a great feature. Stan being there was special. I knew it back when i was a kid, and i feel it big time now.

You're very welcome! I first played this game when I was 6, and undoubtedly it played a huge role in making me a fan for life

[@goth.baby420]

I remember getting this game from my older cousin when he upgraded to a PS4, he had it since he was a kid, and I was just getting into gaming, and I loved every second of this Spider-Man game.

[@SuperSwimTeam7]

I love hearing that people got into it via hand me downs, I just love that people are still playing this game and talking about it

[@BovineDesigns]

Dude I remember getting the demo disk in a cereal box and playing the same Scorpion and Rhino fights over and over, I really want to go back and play it.

[@toongrowner1]

gosh do I miss the time when cereals had cool stuff in them like, like these magic spoons or heck, video games. Pretty sure I got heart of darkness in one once XD

[@shinobitactics]

I played this game over and over as a child, it's one of my favourite Spiderman games, the voice lines was classic comedy, Stan-Lee's voice was such a cool thing and the soundtrack is so memorable, watching this video and hearing the level music I can picture myself back then playing it. Amazing game for an amazing Spiderman.

[@watchedbythewatchers175]

This game brings back so many good memories when I was a kid. I remember this was the only game I wanted to play! I think I beat this game every bit of 10 times growing up. This is a huge part of my childhood!

[@lobitor86]

Like, I'd really like to see the design of the main universe of Shattered Dinensions, the combat if Shattered Dimensions, PS4, and WOS, some puzzles, Easter eggs, etc. I'd also like to see Rino Ramano reprise his role as well as Darran Norris as Venom.

A real classic

[@LITTLE1994]

My first Spider-Man game and the only one I keep playing anyday (well, I didn't have the second one). This game is a masterpiece. Yes, it is very underrated. The amount of effort the developers did on this game and the wonderful voice acting.

[@Tetraxzx9]

After watching the movies, I had a strong desire to be Spider-Man and get that experience, this game was the answer for that.

[@Swnkmstr]

One of my favourite things about Spiderman 2000 is when you boot up the game and you get the sick metal music for the Neversoft logo as the eye runs away only to be impaled. Honestly a weird childhood memory, but a core one nonetheless.

[@SuperSwimTeam7]

I too, am very nostalgic for that Neversoft intro. I love how in the one Tony hawk game, you can play as the eye ball

[@rb98769]

This game was fantastic. One of my favorites back in the day. All of the Neversoft games I played back then were incredible. I'm a big THPS/THUG fan.

[@SuperSwimTeam7]

[@toongrowner1]

just recently made a personal spiderman game marathon, and got me this game for ps1 (played on my ps2) to finally play it again after many many years and see how good it still is. And boy it's such a blast. Bossfights are fun, the cameos and the story while being very simple, still great. Heck Carnage Ock still gives me the chills XD It's also one of these games that show you how wonderfull complex the combat can be when playing on hard mode. Even after have not played it for so long, I still had good memories of it, glad these where not just illusions, certainly one of the best spidey games ever made.

[@ElectriKMadnezz]

this isn't underrated this is one of the best spiderman games ever... i feel nostalgic playing it

[@SuperSwimTeam7]

True but no one ever really brings it up when they talk about Spider-Man games, they only talk about Spider-Man PS4, and Spider-Man 2. Neversoft's Spider-Man gets left out of the conversation entirely

[@orangejuice7247]

When I was a kid I left the game as soon as I saw the symbiotes, they scared me to death. I picked up this game last year and finished it

[@Ulukkar]

It's amazing to see how many people still love this game and work hard on keeping it alive, i also love this game and i always have a lot of fun playing it. I feel like this game has a lot of passion in it and that's what make it awesome, we can feel how much work they put into it. I do think this game is far superior when compared to the sequel, but i really like the sequel as well, the new mechanics are really cool, especially the part about unlocking powers and combining them with any suit we want. It's pretty sad that we didn't get a 3rd game, i'd love to see this world expanding even more, but i guess this is an impossible dream now. This is a very well-made video, i like the way you organized the topics and the order they were presented. You deserve way more views, congratulations.

I recently by replaying this game learned that there is what if mode. :D My first playthrough was in 2002 at my friend house, at that time we did not know special web combat moves, so it was very hard game for us, but it added more tension, especially the fight against the rhino when controller vibrated non stop. :D Last fight was especially scary. Funny thing is that at that time we did not know any english, but we still really enjoyed the cutscenes and voice acting. One of the best games and childhood memories I had. :)

[@whirl3690]

The PC version was one of my first games, but the farthest I ever got for a while was to the Scorpion battle where I turned the game off because I was scared to fight a boss lol. Many years later I found the disc again but whenever I got to Scorpion again, the pre-bossfight cutscene would just repeat over and over again. My parents dismissed this as an effect of the disc being scratched and I believed them (even though the disc had no scratches) until I tried again one day and found out how to skip cutscenes, skipped the pre-Scorpion fight cutscene and it worked. By this point I had watched countless playthroughs of the game so I wasn't surprised by anything that happened afterwards. I didn't beat it though, I stopped playing after the second Venom fight and just never played it again. Now the disc is probably in my basement somewhere I'll never find it again.
