Spider-Man 2 is the best handheld game featuring spidey. It's a fun game that uses the DS's features to its advantage. The 2D, side-scrolling graphics are beautiful. Spiderman and characters are nicely detailed and the game runs at a quick, steady frame-rate. The dual screens are used in very creative ways. For example, missions are broken down into primary, displayed on the top, and optional secondary missions, displayed on the bottom.

On the critical side, it is very difficult and tends to be repetitive in its missions and searches. Usage of a mapping system on the bottom screen would've been great, but they neglected to incorporate this into the game, making searches tedious. I would not recommend this for the younger player due to the difficulty level.

Despite the negatives, if you are a fan of Spider-Man, you will enjoy this. Or, if you are only picking up one or two titles, this would be a good choice for one of those (make Super Mario 64 DS the other). All in all, it's nicely crafted, has fabulous graphics, and makes nice use of the touch screen.

Fun Spider-Man Game for a Handheld

This is a fun game for the Nintendo DS, a must-have for any devoted Spidey fan. Note, though, that the game doesn't really take advantage of the DS's dual-screen or other very special features, but at least the graphics is FANTASTIC, nothing you've seen on a handheld before. The animation is silk-smooth and this really helps put you in the right mood playing as Spidey. The game follows a familiar action plot as the movie, and you got ample opportunity to kick butts.

Great graphics and fun gameplay make this a decent title for the DS. The price might be a bit too high for people not into spider-man. I also wish they had used the lower screen better.

Impressive but not perfect.

This was a good game. The graphics could have been better. Spiderman's backround is 3D but the people are 2D. It was challenging but if you keep at it, you can beat it. People say that the music is bad; I say if the music is bad, mute it. It's also a little pricy. The gameplay was good. There are 14 levels. There are many things added in here that didn't happen in the movie but some of the levels and diolougue are in the movie. While you are playing you will see a list of 8 special moves on the bottom screeen. 5 of these moves are locked. At the end of the level you will be graded on that level. If you get an A in certian levels you can unlock the special moves. Also in most levels there are "hidden powerups" somewhere in the level that you can get at anytime. Hidden powerups will upgrade either your health meter, or your special meter. (The special meter, when full, will allow you to perform the moves that are listed on the touch screen.) In the beginning you scroll down the levels on the touch screen with the name, picture, and best score being on the top screen. The game doesn't take a long time to load either. Overall this is a very nice game. Thank you for taking the time to read my review. I highly apreciate it and hope that you take what i have said into consideration. Thanks again! :)

The game is quite a game actually u can use different moves accessed by the touch screen. For some reason this game is a little pricier and it isnt quite one of ds's best games. i wouldnt recommend spending money on this game until uve tried the other games first but if ur an expert gamer and just wanna test this game out give out 40 bucks and give it a test try.

What's with all the side scrolling games?

I'm going to make my review short and to the point. DS's graphics are way better than what's shown here. DS should leave sidescrolling games in the dust. On the positive side, it was a fun and challenging game. The boss fights were good with some touch screen action--not as much as I hoped--that I thought was fun. Bottom line: O.K. game. If you have every game worth getting for the DS get this. Otherwise, get a different game.

Its more like a 3.5

I got this game for my nintendo ds, I guess I will start with the pros. If your looking for a 2D scroller this would be it, the graphics are 3D but its a 2d scroller and the graphics are detailed and look some what like nintendo 64 graphics.There are tons of level so it will last awhile. Now for the cons, Its overpriced Its $40. I would wait intell its at least $30, the control at times can get pretty hard, and it ignores the touch screen feature besides looking at pointless data, and as no mulitplayer at all. If your craving for a 2d scroller for the ds I guess you mit look into getting the game. But if you just want a game look somewere besides this game.

Spider man 2 is a decent game! It has some weak graphics, but fun play. There are neat skills to learn, and good boss fights. Now, I did not like the touch screen didn't play a big role. I would have liked so touch screen action, but not there. Also, it's hard to see where your going! you could web sling up a wall and hit some fire and hurt yourself. Ok game. You should pick it up!

I expected more...

I'm a gamer. that's all there is to it. I saw this game at target and then wasted 39 bucks on it. this game is cruddy. it's gameplay is rather slow, and 2-D. Really i expected more. the ds is capaple of so much, with the added help of the touch screen. you start out with 3 special abilitys, and it's imposible to get more, exept with cheats. Then i saw the PSP version, and i was stunned. All i want is to save you people from wasting 30 bucks. Might i reccomend Rayman DS.

Uhh! Okay Game!

I expected a little more of the game. It feels like a 3D game but with 2D play! I guess I got used to playing the Gamecube version and was expecting almost the same port. But the game does have great graphics. The controls could be a little better. This game has some replay value.

it's my gift ...NOT my curse
