During Black Friday, my sisters and I bought the PlayStation 4. Best Buy sold it on a great deal. When we bought it, Marvel's "Spider-Man" came with the system as a free game. My sisters and I did not want it at first because we were waiting for "Kingdom Hearts III" to come out on January 29, 2019. We believed that it was better than "Spider-Man." We wanted to sell the game, but it said that we cannot sell it online. We will get in trouble if we do so. We hoped that we can pass the game to someone who has a PS4.

Within a month, that game still stayed with us. Man, if we can just get rid of it. During Christmas, relatives from Malaysia came to visit us. While the adults talked to our parent, we wanted to entertain two little male cousins with the PS4. The two cousins were very excited to see the PS4 and "Spider-Man." Oh, geez. Out of all games like "Minecraft" and "Pac-man," they chose "Spider-Man."

The boys turned on "Spider-Man" and I began to think that the game was not that bad as I expected.

The opening scene was interesting and the setting of the game took place in New York. New York felt so real in the game. It was surprising that Spider-Man was voiced by Yuri Lowenthal, the voice actor of Sasuke Uchiha in the anime series "Naruto," "Naruto Shippūden," and "Boruto: Naruto Next Generations." I never thought that he would be Spider-Man's voice in the game because the Spider-Man movies were played by different actors. It was hard to hear Spider-Man's voice in the game because his voice only comes out of the Dualshock controller. It was odd because I could hear the other characters from the television. No matter how many times I altered the voice settings, Spider-Man's voice still stayed in the Dualshock controller.

The boys kept losing in the game. I understood that it was not an easy game. When Spider-Man fights against his enemies, his health bar receives a lot of damage which means that he can get killed very easily and quickly. Spiderman can heal himself, but you need combo attacks and a new suit to strengthen his healing powers. I was hoping that he could get more defense for himself. When playing this game, the player must be careful and skillful in maintaining Spider-Man's life.

At one point in level one, Spider-Man must face the big and fat Fisk boss that leads the Fisk thugs. The boys had difficulty in fighting the boss. They kept losing and sometimes, they made Spider-Man run away from the boss. When their uncle watched them play, he said, "C'mon, kids! You guys are Spider-Man! Spider-Man does not run away from his enemies!" If Spider-Man was here right now, he would have finished the battle as quick as possible.

Later on, the boys asked me to help them with the boss battle. I volunteered to help them and try out the game. It was not that bad. I lost a few rounds with the big fat Fisk boss. After those rounds, I began to have an idea of how to play the game. The boys gave me some instructions and I followed. As they watched me play, their mouths opened wide in surprise towards my powerful moves. A few punches later, the boss battle shifts to the story mode and Spider-Man finished off the fat boss. I was very proud of myself because I never knew that I could play the best Spiderman in the household.

The boys got a little further in the game and I helped them sometimes when needed. I lost a few times because I needed to adjust to the battle, situation, and controller. Despite the losses, I got them further in the game. They never finished the game because they went back to Malaysia with their family a few days later. I enjoy playing "Spider-Man," but I am still unsure on whether I should continue the game by myself or sell it like I said in the very beginning.
