It goes without saying that Spider-Man Web of Fire is an INCREDIBLY RARE game, the very last North American game released on Sega's ill fated (but still decent, to me anyway) 32X. It's been reported that only 1,500 copies were made and while I personally dont believe it to be THAT low it's definitely in the low print run. Is it worth the usually asking price of $250+ for a complete copy of the game or the $100+ for just the cartridge? That totally depends on what kind of gamer/collector you are but I will say that while WOF isnt a fantastic game it is, none the less, a good one. Spider-Man WOF is a 2D platformer which has Spidey going up against infamous terrorist organization Hydra. Hydra has put up a huge laser web over NYC by way of generators scattered around NY and has hired The Enforcers (Dragon Man, The Eel, Thermite, Blitz, Tangle, and Super Adaptoid) to make sure no one interfears with their plans of ransoming $1 billion for the release of NYC. Spider-Man looks good with some pretty slick animations and moves (for its time) and the controls are decent enough with nothing really complex about them. Graphics while not fantastic do tend to get better with each level and there are definitely a few graphical effects that wouldnt have really been possible on the Genesis. The music on the other hand is just...weird. Its not bad just...weird. OH! And Daredevil (YES DAREDEVIL) is actually in the game to help you as a special "room clearing" attack. AWESOME! WOF is pretty short with only 6 stages to get through BUT its sort of evened out by the fact that its a pretty difficult game. Again, if your a SERIOUS collector/gamer then you will absolutely want this game in your collection. Its rarity has made it one of the most sought after titles for any system, and is without a doubt the rarest Spider-Man game ever made. So if your interested in obtaining a copy (especially a complete boxed copy) best of luck finding one.Read full review
Web of Fire is the last US-released, and rarest, Sega 32X game. Only 1500 copies were ever made, making it much more rare the Panzer Dragoon Saga (30,000 copies), or even Sonic Adventure Limited Edtion (Rental-only 5000 copies for Hollywood video). The game itself falls under the usual cliche of sluggish controls and cheap gameplay, much like most comic book games of the era. Though it does feature some neat sprites that seem to use a little bit of the 32X add-on to its advantage. This game is desired simply because of its low 1500 copy production number. It definitely is now the rarest game in my collection. Should you ever have the chance to buy a copy, either complete, or just the cartridge, jump for it. If not you may not get the chance again.
This is a very fun game with great graphics and game play!
