One of the best super hero games to swing on the GBA

When first playing Activision's Spider-Man: Mysterio's Menace for the GBA, one question will come to mind: why are the portable Spider-Man games so good and the portable X-Men games so bad? That is a mystery, but what isn't is how surprisingly good this game is. You play as everyone's favorite wall crawler as you run through New York taking on super villians such as Mysterio, Electro, Rhino, and Scorpion. First thing you'll notice is the superbly animated graphics and eye popping detail. The environments are so well done and little details (love the guy dropping the toilet paper) are instantly noticeable and nicely done. The sound is great as well; hearing an enemies jaw snap has never sounded sharper on the GBA's little speakers. Controling Spidey's powers has never been easier thanks to the super tight control. Along the way you'll get to choose your own path when you find many of the alternate level paths (the levels are superbly designed) while you fight the countless enemies and climb walls and avoid obsticles. Vicarious Visions, the developers behind the GBA Tony Hawk games, has crafted another GBA must have. All in all, pick this up if your a fan of Spider-Man or just great action games.

Best game boy advance game so far

This is in my opinion the best game the Game boy advance has to offer so far. I've played a bunch of other games on this system like castlevania, pitfall, Army Men, X-men and Earthworm Jim and these are all similar action games to spiderman, but this Spiderman game is definitely the best one out of all of them. They put a lot of work into making this game fun, colorful, action-packed, and challenging. I hope that this game boy advance can continue putting out games that match up to the quality of this one.

THIS THING ROCKS !!!

Who would have thunk that this game would actually be successful? When i first bought this game, i thought that it was another game for my GBA. Everything is mind blowing, and i luv it! There is only one con: I thought that this game would be much longer. Due to the rising pile of homework, it took me 2 weeks to finish this thing. But if it was the summer vaca(tion), it would take me merely two days. I have to admit that this game did make up for its short playing time. The only problem is that i got all the powerups except one. I would highly recommend this game for kids ages 10 and under.

The easiest game I have ever played!

It's all over in a matter of minutes seriously. The game involves Spidey going out to buy Mary-Jane a fishbowl but he gets caught up in rumble downtown as several of his enemies run riot. It's up to him to sort them out.

In 7 very short levels the game is over. And you'll be left with your jaw hanging open that a game can be so easy. The beat-em-up aspect of the game is pretty lame, all the bad guys look the same, the music is often bland, the level design is dated and the gameplay even less engaging than Spider-Man vs the Kingpin on the Sega Genesis 10 years previous.

If you see this game on sale for a matter of pennies then go for it. Otherwise avoid!

This game should be one of the better early game boy advance side scrollers. As Spiderman fights several villans including Mysterio, the fishbowl headed monster. Developed by Vicarious Visions, the same group that made the Tony Hawk games, It has pre rendered characters, creating a very slick look. The colors are also used with huge contrast, making the graphics great.

This game may not be a huge hit, but it could contest with big side scrolling games like Castlevania and Jurassic Park. It is definitly worth giving a try.

great game

It is fun, but extremely short. Borrow it, don't buy it, because it is a waste of money. You can beat it between 1-3 hours depending on how skilled you are. There are only 7 levels.

Decent Game... If you are a spiderman fan!

I got this game for my birthday. It is pretty decent. You play as spiderman and beat up guys using your ultra strength. There are lots of cool spidey moves and bad guys. The bad thing is that it is a little short, only 7 levels. And the last levels are a little frusterating. But besides that the sound is almost C-d quality, the graphics are neat and clear, and its a load of fun for Spidey fans.

AWESOME!

This game is one of the best I've ever played. The gameplay is great, the graphics are amazing, and it is a game you can just pick up and play. The only thing I disliked was that I beat the whole game (and got all the power-ups) in less than 4 hours.

not the same

this game is pretty fun but they could have made it alot better.OK it [stinks] I mean all you do is go straight and kill people and that gets really boring after a while.It's like super mario but with spideys powers the bosses are really easy too I mean all you do is web them up and hit them. Don't buy this game ...
