Yes the gameplay was repetitive in the Spiderman games, but they were a lot of fun to me. Not because the gameplay was revolutionary or anything, but it was more the control system. It was just so danged fluid and the animations were all lifelike and you could make him do just about anything Spiderman should be able to do, and some things you'd never seen him do before. I never really got bored of webslinging through the city because I was always coming up with new tricks to do while I went along. Chaining different combos in different orders and such. It was fun.
