From arcade brawlers to open-world greats, these are the best Spider-Man games

The best Spider-Man games represent some of the best superhero games out there today. Peter Parker has featured in so many games over the past four decades, fast becoming one of the most popular Marvel characters in the realms of interactive entertainment. Naturally, some of these adventures are better than others, with the most memorable standing as some of the best action games out there today. 

We've pulled together a ranking of the 10 best Spider-Man games you should return to, and with upcoming Marvel games like Marvel's Spider-Man 2 set to release in 2023, there's never been a better time to take a little web-slinger history lesson. So keep reading to find our pick of the Spider-Man games you need to play. 

1. Spider-Man: The Movie

Release Date: 2002
Platform(s): GameCube, PS2, Xbox

If licensed video-games had a bad reputation in the '00s, don't even get us started on movie-tie ins! And yet, despite all of this, Spider-Man: The Movie was a surprisingly good time. You get Tobey Maguire and Willem Dafoe reprising their roles as Spider-Man and Green Goblin, you get a little Bruce Campbell – who narrates the tutorial in phenomenal fashion – and you get some solid combat and boss battles. It's telling that the success of this game would push Treyarch to become the lead developer on Activision's Spider-Man games for six years, before ultimately getting a shot at the Call of Duty franchise with 2008's World at War. 

2. Spider-Man: Miles Morales

Release Date: 2020
Platform(s): PS5, PS4

Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales is as close to a perfect Spider-Man game as there is right now. Insomniac Games took everything that worked with its 2019 effort and refined it, improving on the core set of combat, stealth, and web-slinging systems, all while cutting the chaff. The result is an excellent adventure that excels in building forward momentum – reflected in the way you're able to soar through the snowy streets of New York or the way you are pushed through a heartfelt story from the perspective of Spidey protégé Miles Morales. Spider-Man: Miles Morales isn't just the best Spider-Man game, it's also one of the best PS5 games too.
