Spidey's Back

The web crawler is back to catch Mysterio in this game for GBA. You could climb up walls and swing through the city on sky scrapers, and save the city from Mysterio master plans of taking it over.

Moderate

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.

Spidey's back for a third time on the handheld system!

Spider-Man hasn't done terrible for a single game! Spidey's swinging onto a GBA for the first time! The graphics look great, Mysterio is trying to make the city a living heck! If Spidey dosen't hurry, New York will be a virtual nightmare!

The Best GBA game so far

I bought this game yesterday and I love it! It uses the GBA's advanced graphics capabilities way better than other side scrollers like Castlevania. The gameplay is fairly realistic and fast-moving with lots of action. Like the Spiderman games for the GBC, the levels are vast and colorful, and in "Mysterio's Menace" they are also quite realistic as well. There are also 3 difficulty settings: Easy, Normal, and Superhero. I started out on easy and went through the first few stages fairly easily, and defeating Hammerhead, Electro, and Rhino(the bosses) was fairly easy. On normal, the levels aren't too hard, but the bosses are really hard to defeat. Neat powerups, like special armor and web cartridges keep the game interesting. Overall, I strongly recommend this game, especially if you haven't been impressed by the GBA's rather weak showing up to now in the game department.

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.

A very good game

Although I have had the GBA for only a week, i have tried out 25 games already.....In the scrolling action genre, i find that Spiderman is the absolute best......it uses the advanced graphics to the full and has many action-packed fun levels....in consideration of all the other games out there, if you wanna buy a scroll-game, this is THE one.......

This is a good game eccept.....

I purchased this game today from Toys R Us hearing it was a really good game. It is a good game eccept that there is only 6 levels on it. The only reason I dislike the game because it has 6 levels.

Fun for everyone

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.

ok, but not too good

i like spiderman, but hate side scrollers. ive also played all the newer spiderman games, and my expectations were low. this game was no surprise. Its one of those games you play a lot at first, and if you havent beaten, or even if you have, and never pick up again. if you like side scrollers, and the other spiderman games, buy it. if youre not one of those people, dont get it.
