Spider: The Secret of Bryce Manor is built around a pretty funky concept (construct webs to catch insects) and it's been executed well. The visuals are sharp, the controls, for the most part, are natural and the music, whilst a bit repetitive, complements the gameplay well. Despite this though, it all gets pretty old fast. Sure, you have to change up how you catch each insect as the game progresses, but that doesn't exactly reinvigorate the gameplay. So while I'm sure there will be people out there who love the game mechanic enough that they'll adore this game, for me I had about enough after just a few levels. Admittedly though, I not a huge fan of casual gaming (just look at my dust encrusted Wii for proof)
