I LOVE THIS THING!!
I bought the bounce got my son's 2nd birthday party instead of renting one for $275 for 4 hours, I was skeptical at first and so was hubby but I love it love it love it, My sons love it I have a 2yr old and an 8 month old , For his party up to 5 kids fit in it with no problem 3 yrs and under, It was a hit for his party and we have used it about 4 times total, It inflates in 5 seconds and takes a while to disinflate, Its easy to put away and fold but it never fit in the box it came in so buy a bag for it. Anyway it must remain on constantly while in use. I love it , It's totally worth it. Make sure you put a large cloth or plastic cover under it to protect it from rocks and stuff. Have fun jumping i know we do!! Oh yeah even I have gone in there to play with my 2 kids :)

A "Wow!" Toy!
I bought a similar product from SpinMaster and am very pleased with it overall. More importantly, my kids are completely thrilled with this toy and are jumping maniacs! I got the circus themed one which is 7 feet tall. The jumping surface is just under 6'square. The quality is very high. I was surprised at the weight of the rubberized, backpack type fabric of the unit-the jumping surface is slip resistent rubber. The stitching seems very durable, often double stitched. The netting is soft, but strong and durable. The entrance/exit is secured with a velcro patch and the "opening" is reinforced well for all the grabbing it is sure to take. Mine came with a extra large very durable duffel bag, though I think it will take quite some effort to squeeze and roll the house up in order to get it to fit in the bag. I can't imagine that the fan will fit into the bag as well. The set up takes about five minutes-honestly. I place a tarp beneath it on the grass and hammer in 7 securing stakes, 2 additional stakes hold the fan upright. Once turned on, the whole thing inflates in 30-45 seconds. It's so quick it seems like it goes up instantly! Deflation is surprisingly quick as well-even with the fan attatched. When I have let the unit deflate on it's own it always collapses into/on itself-great design! If I just leave it for about 5 minutes it is remarkable how much air is released by itself. So far I just fold it over and "keep it wrapped" in the tarp because I keep putting it out every day. I've started keeping the stakes in the ground too, to further expedite the set up! I have a 3 1/2 and 4 1/2 yr old and they are delighted beyond belief! At first they questioned it's small size (compared to commercial ones they have jumped in). They think their bounce house is the bomb-diggity! We have 8 yr old neighbors who can't get enough of jumping in it. Because the weight is so substantial and the house has a wide base I believe that this toy could be used indoors with close adult supervision. Extra care would have to be taken to watch for house "moving" due to jumping and in keeping the fan upright. The fan base is freestanding, though the base is rather small for the large and heavy (metal) fan. All in all, I think this is a great splurge toy and it seems very durable. I expect to get several years use from it. The instructions read that the unit will remain inflated even with a small hole in it. I'm sure raft patch would be a good repair option, or duck tape in a pinch.

This is better than going to the amusement park!
I recently bought this for my sons 6th birthday and it was a hit. We purposedly had him unwrap it first so that we could set it up for the whole party to enjoy. Needless to say, it was better than any clown I've ever seen. The kids were in it for the rest of the day, and my neighbor just bought the Sponge Bob version to join in on the fun.

Great investment
This was definitely money well spent. The Spiderman version was a big plus for our 3 year-old. Our almost 6 year-old is having fun with it too. Sets up quickly and looks very durable. This provides great exercise and when winter comes around, it will easily go into our spare room. I can see this will be a toy that my boys will be interested in a very long time, unlike alot of the toys we buy them. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Collapsible play tents have been increasingly popular in recent years, satisfying that seemingly instinctive "fort" craving that kids have while still being both lightweight and portable. This Spiderman themed tent features four sides, a split flap door, and, naturally, a vibrant red and blue Spiderman theme. Though Spiderman is always cool, there isn't anything really especially "Spiderman-esque" about this toy unless one imagines that the webbed crusader lurks in an easily collapsed indoor playroom tent when he's not slinging from building to building catching bad guys. And, come to think of it, that's a perfect game of pretend play for youngsters to enjoy while employing the tent. Radioactive spiders not included. --Charlie Williams ... Read more

Soo Small compared to others
I bought this item for my son's birthay, he's 5
and compared to the hulk tent that his 2 year old brother busted it's sooo tiny. it's pretty durable in the fact that when it collapses it's pretty easy to snap back into place, but i just don't like the fact that it's soo small. ... Read more

Take New York for a spin...
This game is incredible because not only does it use GTA mechanics to get around new york, not only do you get to swing ON BUILDINGS and NOT in THIN AIR *coughprevious-spidermangamescough*, not only do you get to run on the streets and rooftops whenever you please, not only can you do more super human moves like cooler, simpler combos *coughspidermanthemoviecough*, not only can you collect ENDLESS tokens scattered across new york, not only can you help citizens from saving guys on a seenking boat to thugs holding up an armored car robbery, Not only that this is the most free roaming spiderman game ever made with this time mostly outdoor environment taking place in the story *coughprevious-spidermangamescough*, but now you get to take on a never ending adventure with your host which is of coarse your friendly neighborhood spiderman! Here are my pros. and cons. below.

PROS.
*Better, more controlable swinging
*Ability to run faster, climb faster, and swing faster
*protect new york from thugs on roofs, muggers stealing womens purses, people falling off buildings, and more

*Boss fights are fun, yet most easy
*buy upgrades by earning hero points
* find secret tokens all over new york and challenge races in secret spots as well
*the story never gets old
*do wickedly awsome combos when in slow motion fighting enemies!
*Dive off the empire state building and commit suicide!
*UNLIMITED CONTINOUS
*for the first time...UNLIMITED WEBBING!
*throw crooks in the water or off buildings
*no repetitive one-liners
*funny one-liners (gee ya didnt see that coming) such as when you fight Rhino, sometimes spiderman will say "Now im starting to see why rhinos are endangered." that one made me laugh
* Fight your favorite bosses such as rhino, mysterio, doc ock, and more!
*story is exciting adding alot of replay value
*You meet and team up with BLACK CAT!
*Cool music
*Bruce Cambell is back and is funny as hell
*Thats it

CONS
*No more web zipping (boohoo)
*not the best graphics for this era
*helping citizens gets pretty old
*collecting tokens and doing races is just stupid after you beat the story mode
*game gets repetitve after playing it a few hours straight but its fun all over again once you play later
*not alot of music
* thugs can be mildly cheap when in groups because of their enchanced blocking! Oh, and since when could a thug give spidey a little push, sending him flying in the air about 20 feet, crashing into the ground?
*The story is pretty easy, you might die here or there but the only parts that should really be a pain in the ass is when you gotta stop the mutha F*ckin sonic boom generator thingy...and the last level (not fighting doc ock but the *other* part before it)
*The rest of the bosses are way too easy like the pathetic joke with mysterio and rhino...man even though you getta fight him in the streets, he was funner in the first spiderman for the PS1 and n64 cuz now he twirls this giant can like a retard spinning with a condum the size of a traffic cone.
*The cut-scenes are cool but SUCK compared to what happens in the movie
*An thats a rap

So I think now you get a pretty clear idea what kinda game spiderman 2 is... Right? Oh, you don't? well, try UNDERSTANDING the pros. an cons. this time. Anywho, its worth the $50 so go get it! its aviable for Xbox, GC, an PS2. I have the PS2 version and played the xbox version at my friends house...beat both of them..heheh.. well, the only difference really is the controls. Hey, why you still reading this? Go Now! Oh, an while your at it, see spiderman 2 if you havent already. So go, take spiderman 2 for a spin...Take New York for a spin.

A great web swinging simulator but little more
I'm both pleased and dissapointed with this game. Let me at the outset share my gaming biases before you bother to read on. I really loved the previous spiderman game and am not a fan of the Grand Theft Auto (GTA)series.

This game indeed borrows heavily on GTA and is not at all like the previous spiderman game. What I LOVE about this game is the incredible degree of control of spiderman as you move him through his environment. Being able to access the ground of the city ala GTA is a definite plus helping to further bring you into the comic book world of spiderman. I also find the graphics of the city at night to look amazing although the overall in-game graphics are grainy and poor similar to GTA. And the recreation of NYC overall is quite an accomplishment.

What I dislike about the game includes the combat which I felt was a strength of the previous game. Instead of the fluid movement of its predecessor this one has choppy, awkward moves complete with a monotonous single slapping sound that is the same for each hit. The combat looks and feels like it was developed by the producers of the campy 1960s Batman TV series and plays like 'Batman Dark Tomorrow'.

Yet worse than the combat are the repetitive, uninspired missions and challenges. This first time you a) rescue a guy about to fall from a ledge, b) retrieve a childs balloon, c) foil an armored car robbery, d) get lured into a gang ambush by a pedestrian calling for help it's all good. However, these scenarios occur endlessly and quickly get old and unenjoyable. Then there are the challenges which basically are like taking the training from the previous game and forcing you to complete them during regular gameplay... but these are worse. Finally, the voice acting is awful and within half an hour I was already sick of hearing the same lame lines over and over.

Bottom-line is its all about the web swinging. Not sure I'd shell out the cash to buy this one if I had the choice again but would definitely at least rent it.

Don't buy Spider-Man 2!!
I didn't like this game at ALL. I rented it just now, and it sucks!! It's to short. So don't waste your money on it!!

and watch the flaws melt away... (4.2/5)
when I plopped this game into my cousins PS2, I was excited, but also nervous about all the bad things I had heard. WEll, I did notice these bad things, the graphics, tho some nice touches (changing window light on the building, and Spidey's fluid movments) were generally sub-par (tho some of the boss characters look good, especially black_cat!) and yes there were a limited number of street crimes, and the game was too short, and a mite on the easy side. I took a jump of the tallest building in manhatten, swung from one end of the city to the other, and broguth back a little tykes balloon. Then I didn't notice the flaws anymore. All I saw was the fun, engaging, and highly entertaining game that SPiderman 2 is. SO do yourself a favour and RENT THIS GAME. (don't buy it tho, its too short unless your a rich fan.)

swinging
I hadn't heard if this game was going to be good or bad before i bought it. for the first time i bought a game because the film was so amazing. The game was never going to be that good, the graphics are occasionally a bit ropey and some of the cut scenes are better than others but the feeling of swinging about new york is brilliant. the controls are fairly easy to get to grips with and the sense of exploration is second to none.
The main problem is that the main game is stupidly easy to complete. most boss battles take a few goes and can be quite annoying but they're never that hard. The good thing is that you will come back to it because there is so much to explore after the main game is complete. there's nothing like jumping off the empire state building anywhere else in videogames. ...

Personal experience
This product seems to be for "delecate" frames. The costume we ordered was suited for us because we are six and we wear a 4-6 size. Order big if you are larger built; go for the best fit if you are of smaller build (bone structure). Great for smaller builds.

Spiderman costume fits normal heads
The hood fit my child's head just fine, and he is seven years old. It was not terribly sturdy, but most cheap costumes aren't. I guess they're not made for kids with huge heads. If your child has an abnormally huge head, I guess you need to look for something else. We did not have this problem, and my child was extremely pleased with it.

Not worth it!
This costume is not worth buying. It is made of very cheap fabric and the hood is not made for wearing a long period of time. My son is unable to breathe through the mask because there is no opening for the nose or mouth, it is also too tight fitting.

cheap product
I'm also not happy with this costume for the same reason as the other reviewer. The picture is misleading regarding the hood. The mask is so small that no child with a head larger than a lightbulb would be able to use it. The costume is cheaply made and not what I thought I was buying.

Spiderman costume
I am not happy with this spider man costume. When I ordered it online it showed the full hooded mask for this size. I don't think my child is going to want to wear this beanie cap. He's three years old and he knows the difference.I may have to return this suit. Thanks Cindy Wilkinson ... Read more

Nice graphics but probably not worth the money
The good news for you is that the weight of this item has been corrected in the on-line ad since I purchased one for my five year-old son. That means: 1) you won't incorrectly assume as I did that the bag is suitable for outdoor summer or indoor winter use and 2) your per-pound shipping cost will not be comparable to the cost of the bag itself as mine was.

The bad news for you is that durability is a gamble. One of the zippers on our Spider-man head carrying case was broken upon arrival and the zipper pull broke off the sleeping bag itself a very short time later. And while the product is still functional and my son generally seems to like it, he doesn't use it nearly as much as I thought he would.

I wouldn't recommend buying this product unless you are specifically looking for an indoor slumber bag (a more accurate description), have a child who adores Spider-man and have already determined that the stores in your area do not carry a comparable item. ... Read more

Editorial Review

We imagine that constantly traveling via slung web from one skyscraper to another can get a little tiring for our old friend Spiderman. When he feels like moving about in a bit more luxury, Spidey prefers this stylish and well-appointed copter. In contrast to its occupant's primarily red attire, the copter is mostly blue with a few red accents here and there. The cockpit easily holds the included five-inch Spiderman figure (or any five inch figure you might have lying around) and there's a heady arsenal of spring-loaded missiles to fire at Green Goblin or whomever is causing trouble in New York. A set of spider legs on the bottom of the copter can grip to capture and hold those very troublemakers. The missiles and grippers are activated by a trigger on the sizable handle underneath the craft. While one might think the handle would detract from the fantasy of the experience, it's actually a benefit: the copter is easier to manipulate and the copter, free of hands all over it, looks more realistic when being played with. --Charlie Williams ...

Return it
This is a terrible toy. The pieces all fall apart and fall off. My son can't play with it without things falling off. Will return this toy,

a huge disappointment
This toy was a terrible disappointment. My 7 yr old got it for Christmas, while it looked promising, it was not. It was very difficult to get open, way too much packaging. The rotor blades do not stay on, the "grabbing" claws do not grab, and while I have never bought a "shooting" toy before, the missles are impossible to load, and if you do get them loaded, they dont shoot. The other missles shoot abot 4 inches, and go off whenever they want, not when you launch them. The "exclusive" spiderman action figure looks just like the other 14 spiderman action figures we already have. This was difinitely not worth the money. I gave this toy 1 star for each category, because there isnt a zero star option. ... Read more

THE BEST!!!!!!!!
this game is really amazing. from the actually seeing what you r shooting ur web at 2 the walking on the street. the graphics r awesome also.gameplay is great(i got for gamecube dont no about other systems). wut i liked the most is that u can actually go onto the street in this game. u can decide between doing the story missions or solving random street crimes(or helping a little kid get his balloon back).its awesome that u can actually web swing from a helicopter but im not sure if u can grab on to it.(...) i beat the game already.(its not short i just played for a really long time). Well anyways i definitely recommend this game spiderman fan or not

Spider Man is Back!
All right, first of all, let me state that I LOVED the fist Spider Man! But, the bad thing about it was how you would swing from your web... which was attached to nothing!
But, in this game you NEED to find a building, pole, or whatever to swing around the city. That is, unless you want to become a little stain on the sidewalk.
Another cool feature is the random crime generator! In other words minor crimes appear around the city! (Reminds me of True Crime: Streets of LA). Example: You're swingin' through the city and, all of a sudden, you hear a cry for help! What to do? You could just ignore the crime, and let people get hurt, or you could drop in on that A**wipe and beat the living hell outta him! I, myself, would want to teach him a VERY painful lesson.
Now you know why Spider Man 2 is gonna rock! Oh, and don't forget to watch the movie!

spider-man 2 is awesome
doc ock is fun to fight and the new web system makes it more like a real spider-man game. and now you can go on the ground.the villians are doc ock,rhino,mysterio,calypso,and shocker.bye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Boring.
Though miles better than the (awful) first game this still suffers from major bore. The free-roaming gameplay would be great if there were a bit more variety and things to do.

The main problem is that the gaming area is absolutely immense. While this may be a good thing (a whole state is your gaming area in the upcoming GTA: San Andreas) there are very few definitive landmarks to give you some kind of orientation. It's based on the real New York, with all the famous buildings, but literally hundreds of streets look the same and it's very, very easy to get hopelessly lost. Plus the only method of travel is swinging. Yes, it's cool, but very slow considering the area you have to cover and not to easy to control unless your a genius with the control pad.

And the missions are all the same. Stop an armoured car hijack, stop a guy stealing a car, save some idiot hanging off a building, beating up nameless thugs, save some guy hanging off a building, stop some guy stealing a car, save some guy hanging off a building...boring. When you complete a mission that should be it done for the whole game, none of this again and again and again trash. The average score for completing these missions is 250 hero points...you need 1, 000, 000 to reach Doc Ock at the end of the game. Sorry I ain't sticking around long enough to 4000 tedious missions.

The only cool thing about this game is that it's narrated by Bruce Campbell. The rest seems like a rushed movie tie-in, not a real game.

The Best
I tried this game at my friends house on PS2 and i Loved it. I could of played it the whole day. I have Gamecube, so a day later i went out to buy it. Its awesome. The best game. I loved the first one and this was much much better. Its more like the movie. U get missions and everything its the BEST! U swing on wall not just from the sky. u can buy stuff to improve ur skills its awesome! Get this game. U wont regret it!!!!!! Its just fun to even swing around and do nothing. Some missions are to beat thugs and then (this is the best part) go after them in a car chase just like in the 1st movie!! U never run out of web either ITs awesome Buy It!!!! ... Read more

Just Another Common Side Scroller Game
This game really isnt anything special. Splinter Cell Pandora Tommorow is almost the exact same thing. But I will admit, The 3D Hub is pretty cool (The Part of The game that isnt a sidescroller). Just Because it is a not original it is still fun to play, But expect to cruise through it in about 6 hours.

Doing whatever a spider can
While it doesn't boast any revolutionary features for a GBA game, Spider-Man 2 is still a fun game that GBA owners and fans of the web-head will enjoy. The game is presented mostly in a side scrolling view with typical 2-D GBA graphics fare. Spidey himself is smoothly animated, as are the various enemies throughout the game. The story is told by way of a combination of stills from the blockbuster film, some slickly 3-D rendered artwork, and text dialogue, and presents the story well while incorporating new villains (The Lizard and Rhino to go along with Doctor Octopus) into the mix. Spider-Man 2's only downside are the never ending generic baddies and repititous puzzles that can grate on your nerves, but other than that, Spider-Man 2 for the GBA is solid throughout. All in all, if you own a GBA, and whether you are a fan of the comic or of the movies, then give this a try.

Havent seen a good title for my GBS in a hot one
Finally I found a game worth my precious batteries' litle lives. This game is sooooooo good. I didnt know my Game Boy was capable of such brilliant graphics or awesoem gameplay. My kid always wants to play but I can't find it in me to give up my turn. This game is the best game I have playe din quite some time and is definitely well worth every penny I spent on it. I goes everywhere with me and I can't stop playing it. Activision makes the best games. Check out Shrek 2 as well, that game is great too! Not as fun as spidey, but a def great game in its own right.
Take care, comb your hair!

Another good webhead game
Being the first reviewer of this game to have actually PLAYED it, I enjoyed it. If you have Spider-Man:Mysterio's Menace, then you'll be pretty familiar with the gameplay. There is a 3-d section of the game that's pretty cool as you choose levels and missions, but otherwise it's a standard side-scroller. The first level has you delivering pizzas. Unfortunately, they give you no idea where your delivery is supposed to go, so you frantically search all the buildings inside and out to find them (HINT: there is a family seated in an apartment in the last building waiting for the pizza. You can only reach them through the air ducts). That's a little frustrating, but the rest of the game gets better. I personally hate the "Chase the bad guy" idea, and this one makes you do just that as you chast Doc Ock through the city. Again, more frustrating "do this again" times, but you can make it.

The biggest letdown is the lack of any vocal work in it. "Max Payne" for GBA showed us it could be done, I just wish the Spider-Man team had taken advantage of it.

Mostly a good (if somewhat repetitive) game. You'll probably like it.

This game will be good!
I give this game 5 out of 5 stars because I have the first Spiderman: The Movie GBA game and it's awesome. Don't hesitate to buy this game. I know I won't. ... Read more

IT'S ALRIGHT
MY GRANDSON RECIEVED THIS TRIKE ON HIS 2ND BIRTHDAY. MY DAUGHTER TRIED TO PUT IT TOGETHER AND GOT FRUSTRATED BECAUSE THE SCREWS WERE NOT FITTING PROPERLY. AFTER TOTAL FRUSTRATION SHE LEFT IT FOR HER FATHER. HE SPENT 4 HRS WITH IT AND DECIDED HE WOULD FINISH UP ON IT THE NEXT DAY. MY 4 YEAR OLD GRANDSON AND THE 2 YEAR OLD PUT ALL THE PIECES TOGETHER AND THEY WERE PLAYING WITH IT AND HAVING A BALL WHEN I TOLD THEM THAT PAPA WOULD MAKE IT SECURE FOR THEM SO THEY COULD PLAY SAFELY THEY WERE FINE WITH IT SO THEY TOOK IT APART AND JUST PLAYED WITH THE HANDLEBARS AND HAD A BALL WITH THE SOUND AFFECTS. I THINK THIS IS AN EXCELLENT TOY FOR BOTH OF THEM UNFORTUNATELY I THINK WE GOT ONE THAT CAME WITH FACTORY DEFECTS THANK GOODNESS MY HUSBAND IS GOOD WITH CHILDRENS TOYS AND FIXING THEM HE HAD TO RENFORCE THE SEAT THE FRONT AND THE BACK WHEELS HAD TO BE SECURED ALSO BECAUSE EVERYTIME THEY SAT ON IT OR IF YOU PUT IT ON THE GROUND IT FELL APART IN PIECES. I AM NOT GOING TO RATE THIS AS POOR BECAUSE MY GRAND BABIES LOVE IT, EVEN WHILE THEY WERE WAITING FOR IT TO BE PUT TOGETHER

A must-have for little Spidey fans!
We purchased this toy for my son's 2nd birthday, and he can't get enough of it! His legs aren't quite long enough to be able to pedal, but he moves it with his feet with no problems.

The sound effects are quite clear, and I have even heard him singing along a few times. His older brother is really sad that he is too big for the trike!

Assembly was a snap - my husband had it together in 20 minutes or so.

My Spiderman Fan loves IT!
This is perfect for my 3 year old. He just adores it. We were worried about him not being able to peddal but he scoots around on it easy because there is plenty of room and the peddals dont get in the way. Easily put together with no problems at all. A definiate must have!
Very seldom does my little boy want the same toy everyday but this one he does. ... Read more
