Stupid voice acting? The voices were all veteran voice actors (including Neil Patrick F'n Harris) who actually did the voices for the cartoon incarnations of spider-man over the years. The villains were also voiced by many familiar veteran voice actors. I'm kind of surprised to hear that as a criticism.  I do admit, being a child of the 80s hearing the voice of spider-man 2099 took me right back to saturday mornings watching Spider-man and his amazing friends.
 
Also, I don't know if it's different console versions, but the PS3 game didn't really have any bugs that I ran into.

I haven't played the 360/PS3 version, but I will say that the DS version is fantastic.

maybe its news to you but its exactly their job to judge games.

If someone doesn't like a game, then they don't like a fucking game.  It's that simple.  There are plenty of games that have gotten way better reviews and praise from people I know and I still don't enjoy them.

The voice acting was fine, but what they were saying.... was...  Spiderman-ish.  At first Spiderman acting like 8 year old annoyed me but after a few levels I began to love it. "

I'm about to S-rank this game, so I've played a LOT of it and his complaints about the bugginess are valid. Hell the targeting system is borderline broken (I cannot TELL you how many times I have repeatedly tried to web-grab an object, only to hit an enemy I wasn't even looking at. That said, I'm having a lot of fun with it and think it's definitely a good Spider-Man game. Comparing it to Arkham Asylum, though? It's not even close.
Also: any game with kamikaze enemies loses points in my estimation.

There is a lot to hate. I got a few glitches and web crawling pissed me off butnothing too crazy. Frustrating sometimes but overall I had a really fun time with it. I can see why some things could ruin the experiance. But I came into it knowing it was a fun but flawed game and that's what I got

I was surprised as well but to each their own

i found web of shadows so boring that i quit cause i was having to force myself to try and play thru it and falling a sleep and i have never played it again.
i played thru the first few levels of shattered dimensions and it seems way better to me.
 
as someone else said earlier i think giantbomb is becoming more of a showcase for antics of the crew and their attention whoring from their fanboys.  they have went a bit over the top and it isnt appealing anymore
