They were getting there with Spidey 2 (Movie Game) but they just... abandoned it with Ultimate Spidey (high concept with adjusted system) and then Spidey 3 (poor design decisions influenced by industry). Friend or Foe was actually cute and okay, obviously away from a 'main game' thing. Web of Shadows was another high concept that missed the mark (but had an interesting action game design at least). Some of you may remember my disdain for Shattered Dimensions last year. My views on EoT isn't much better so far.
The ultimate Spidey game is yet to come.
