The most notable of the new voices has to be Venom though, the man that did his voice should be commended as he delivers some of the best and funniest lines in the whole game and I dare any true Spidey comic fan not to chuckle at some of Venom's one-liners. The rest of the sound in game is spot on too like the sound of webbing and the thudding sound when hitting enemies. The music during the game might be the only weak point in the sound although there really isn't anything wrong with it, it's just not very memorable.
I personally couldn't put this game down when I first got it for Playstation unfortunately after two days of playing it (most of that time being taken up by the last boss) I had already beaten the game . There are of course things to unlock like finding comic books to open new costumes and special abilities but this won't take you long and can also be accessed by a code (we know the route most people will go) and the extras are great there is a character viewer, costumes that range from Scarlet Spider to the Captain Marvel costume that can be used in game, a comic gallery with info on important event in Spidey's life, and storyboards, and a code that will alter some parts of the game for a fan this is all wonderful but for the casual gamer most won't even bother.The Dreamcast version is exactly the same as the Playstation version other then the graphics I'd say this one is a definite must rent if you never tried the other versions or if you wanna see the game in it's own High-Res glory as it's wonderful to finally have a game where you can actually feel what Spidey might feel like. But due to the camera problems, the relatively short length, and not a whole lot to entice you into replaying the whole game unless you are a die hard fan of Spiderman your more suited to a rental not a purchase but for those that don't own any of version of the game and do want to purchase it this is the best version for a home console system and I would recommend it over the N64 and Psone versions.
