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!

I got this game and it was great. But for people that are reading this who have a nintendo ds, listen up. If you put in the ds version of spiderman 2 while game boy advance wirsion of Mysterio's menace is in aswell, you will be able to unlock all of spidey's moves.

Spiderman Mysterio's Menace great game I recommend

Vicarious Visions and Activision , the great game companies who made Spiderman for the Playstation and Dreamcast, once again team up to make the successful "Spiderman Mysterio's
Menace" for the Gameboy Advance.

Out of all the portable consoles in history, the Gameboy Advance, has probably the best lineup of games I've seen, and you can add this game to that list.

------
Story
------

Peter Parker (Spiderman) is talking to his great love Mary Jane, when he sees on the tv, that a great number of crimes are being committed in New York.

Spiderman then must try to stop the criminals and try to bring peace and safety to New York City. Spiderman though will have his hands, as he must fight a number of formidabble and familiar enemies that Spiderman fans will recognizne.
The lineup of enemies include "HammerHead", "Rhino", "Mysterio", and a gang machine gun happy gangsters and deadly ninjas.

Even making the game that more challenging is the fact that in several areas of the game Spiderman must rescue a group of hostages.

Graphics 10:

Spiderman games have come a long way since the first Spiderman came out from Parker Brothers for the Atari Systems.

From the Genesis system to Supernes, to Gameboy
Color, to the Gameboy Advance, to the Playstation, each Spiderman has constantly gotten better in the area of graphics.
The graphics in this game are gorgeous, wonderful 2d and 3d graphics are echoed throughout the game.

"Rhino", "Hammerhead" and others look like comic book counterparts. There are really 3 great graphics area in the game, and they are done very well. First is the intro of the game which is excellently done with a nice blend of music. the intro looks extremely cool, because it looks virtually an animation of the comic book.

The 2nd graphics area is stats screen. The stats screen reveals in what area Spiderman is, how much webbing Spiderman has left, and other details.

The 3rd area in the game are the mission and intermission screens. These scenes are all 2 dimensionally animated
in true color form and they look gorgeous on the screen.
Overall, I was not only suprised by the great
graphics for the game, but I was impressed.

Sound and Music: 7

The sound and music in Spiderman, just like the graphics for the game are extremely good, in fact it was better than I expected!!!

Everything from Spiderman's "spider senses" to "Rhino" growl and killer attacks, all come with their individual sounds.

Overall the sound in "Spiderman Mysterios Menace " is very well done.

The music is divided into different areas of game: The levels of the game, come with different tunes and soundtracks.

The stat screen in the game also comes with it's own music.

The best music in the game, that I loved was the intro at the beginning, it mean it just really cool!! In fact, it had me jazzed up to play the game.

--------------
Control 7
------------

I was extremely satisfied with the controls for this game.

Unlike the Playstation and Dreamcast versions of Spiderman, which can get a bit frustrating the control for "Spiderman Mysterio's Menace" is virtually perfect.

Wow!!!

Spiderman has a variety of moves, combos and
special abilities that can you do.

First is Spiderman's web slinging.

Simply by tapping the A button twice, Spiderman can swing from building to building with ease. You can also websling and attack enemies at the same time!!!

This has many advantages of the game, as many enemies are at angles, or high altitudes in the game.

Spiderman's combos, consists of a regular punch,
a superpunch, and a great uppercut. You also have a regular kicking, a sweeping kick and a great jump kick (which can you do as you are webslinging!!!!)

Pressing the Start Button reveals the stats screen which reveals, the area Spiderman is , along with his web supply, the areas Spiderman has completed, and the number of hostages
Spiderman has rescued.

Overall, I was very pleased with the controls. Activision and Vicarious Visions did a great job in this area.

-----------
Overall 9
------------

I gave "Spiderman Mysterio's Menace" a 10 because virtually all areas of the game were excellent done.

Activision has continually improved the Spiderman games that they done have done over years. There are also many challenging enemies in the game. I also like the fact, that game companies
included many of Spiderman's foes like "Hammerhead", "Mysterio", and "Rhino".

"Spiderman Mysterio's Menace" is just a great game, and I highly recommend the game to any Spiderman fan.

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.

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.

Not As Good As SpiderMan: the movie

My previous review on this was titled,HERE'S SPIDEY! It said that it is very fun n' stuff, but after I played Spiderman: the movie, on the PC, I discovered that I was very, very wrong.This game is 2D, while the other game is MUCH more relistic, and is 3D.The other one is based on the movie, while this is not. I can't get too upset about the sound, because this game is for Gameboy Advance, while I played the movie-based one on the PC, but, the sounds are VERY repeditive.

Here's Spidey!

I got this game, using my $25 gift certificate, and I love it! A cheat that you can type in at the password area is sp1dy (spidy, except the i is a 1). It gets you the 7 extra web containers,(maximum), a thermal suit, and the SYMBOITE suit. What is the symboite suit? It gradually REFILLS YOUR HEALTH AND WEB METER!

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.

This game is pretty good

I thought this game was okay. There's three different levels you can choose- Easy, Normal, and Superhero. After awhile, this game gets kind of boring. There's not many stages to go through, and it isn't 3D.If you like Spiderman alot, then you should try this game. First thought, you should borrow it from a friend or rent it. Overall, this is an okay game.
