It’s amazing for a game that’s so short and severely mechanically outdated that I can nearly almost find something to write about it. That speaks volumes about how good Neversoft’s Spider-Man, or Spider-Man (2000) as I often refer to it, truly is.

Lego Marvel’s The Avengers on both the PS Vita and 3DS is perhaps the closest the folks at TT Games have come to bringing the console experience to handhelds. Whereas previous Lego games on both devices were paired down, levels only affairs, Lego Marvel’s The Avengers had explorable open areas where quests and other collectibles waited. Now the handheld…
