Ultimate Spider-Man (DS)(Replay)
easily the best not griptonite Spidey DS game
it's really good, you can't go wrong with either this or console
you also get to see more individual places cuz of the linear nature of the game
console is set in an open world
something about the controls in alt text

Spider-Man: Battle for New York (DS)(Replay)
it's whatever, it's worse Ultimate Spider-Man DS
I like the comic book cutscenes
for some reason the gba version has a boss that's not present here
also holy hell there's some serious performance issues

I have nostalgia for this one but honestly it's just fiiiiiiiine
the DS game is way better and feels more complete
the audio mixing is bad though, SFX set at 100% is still lower than music set at 30%
and setting the music lower than that will remove effects

what can I say, sometimes you feel like replaying the shitty games that suck ass
this game was very much made out of obligation, it has no reason to exist
way more effort was put in the flagship version, the DS one
and even that one is just alright

Spider-Man 3 (DS)
the highest rated SM3 game
it's good enough
it has dpad for movement and touch screen for everything else
it's clunky, if it used buttons it would have worked better, but that could have made it less unique ig
the hub areas are a treat, they look fantastic and feel pretty lively

the last good Treyarch Spider-Man game
This game looks so damn awesome, the cutscenes are a treat!
I have beaten this game only once before, I've always preferred the DS version (I still do)
I find it inferior to Spider-Man 2 (console), but it's still really good!

Spider-Man 3 is one of the most dithered PSP games I have seen lmao
I kinda dig it actually, it looks nice on a PSP screen
well, Morbius' aura is kinda overkill but still

Spider-Man 3 (PSP)
the non-HD one for PS2/PSP/Wii
it might be less tedious than the HD one but it's still mediocre as hell
there's virtually no variety, and the gang control stuff sucks
the combat is monotonous so every encounter feels like an annoyance
one positive is that it has Morbius, i guess

Spider-Man Web of Shadows Amazing Allies Edition (PS2)
my god, this is not good
very unpolished combat
and movement, there's no flow
stuttery framerate
All the story is told through text and there's no proper ending
literally the only positive is the writing being entertaining, sometimes

Spider-Man 2 (PSP)(Replay)
Referred to as "Spider-Man 1.5" by some, since it's built off the 2002 console game
it's alright, a bit stupid at times (doc ock is an idiot here), but enjoyable enough for the system it's on (and it's definitely the best spidey game on the psp anyway)

wondering if I should sell this 2DS Pokémon Moon Edition?
I have stopped using it ever since i got a 2DS XL (the dpad being clicky and the extra power is a game changer)
last time it was used was to play Metroid Prime Hunters Multiplayer with my partner but they also have a 2DS XL now

ps2(etc) to psp ports are funny because you get the vile stuff like -vert aspect ratio by big company names and then you get fucking Kao 2 getting proper widescreen
seriously, why does the smaller guy do it better
this fake widescreen crap will never not annoy me

Kao the Kangaroo (2022)(PC)
a game best defined as "okay-ish"
Levels are too long, so replaying them sucks
it's buggy, camera and visual effects can be unpolished or lacking sometimes
and the music often dies and there aren't enough SFX
honestly I'd rather recommend Kao 2, it's the better game

Kao: Mystery of Volcano (PC)
similar to its predecessor, it's alright-ish
it's very short, with some OBVIOUS padding
like that awful racing game and big enemies taking ages to die (but there's no reason to engage in combat)
it also reuses ladders and a puzzle from Kao Challengers, funny

Kao Challengers (PSP)
a surprisingly great port of Kao 2
it even has 4 new levels not available in any other version (though the sliding parts in the third new level were a bit annoying)
the game itself is alright, I liked it enough! I think it works better as a handheld title?
also Kao is cool

I've always seen this as an inferior reimagining of the original PS1 game, but despite so I still liked it
Now, even more years later, its weaknesses are even more apparent to me..

ok i hate this psp for 3D games
but i didn't specify it's a PSP Street
i do have a fat PSP laying around but I can't mod it because no battery
i tried the buttons and they feel decent, less rough
so i ordered a battery and I'll see how it fares
I'll just have to deal with ghosting and it being pink
