I purhcased this game for my son for his birthday. I odviously knew there would be fighting, but was very suuprised and disappointed to know that the bad guys were shooting spiderman in the stomach with shot guns! I promptly removed this game from my sons posession! so any parents out there that don't want to expose their young kids to violence/guns pass this game up!

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 ...

This game is not good, I dont know what these other reviewers are on. I am not a serious gamer and bought this with my GBA, its the 1st game I since I was a kid (quite a few years back) and was planning on using it to kill a long plane journy. I thought I would test out the GBA by having a go but when it was finished in 45 min I though I had waisted my time and I wont be touching it again. Walk up to someone pres 3 times they die, walk up to someone press again they die repeat repeat repeat.

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!

Very shallow side-scrolling game

Clearly I'm in the minority with my opinion, but I simply don't see the appeal of this game. Encountering enemies becomes repetitive very fast and they quickly become a nuisance more than any kind of real challenge. Fighting is overly simplistic and each level offers little in the way of variety or challenges. The music is weak; hardly SNES caliber at all. On the plus side, Spiderman is animated very, very well, but the backgrounds are dark and lifeless. You won't see much background activity or details.

Simply put, it's a shallow game. There are better side-scrollers out there. Try a Mario game, Wario Land 4, or (my personal favorite) Castlevania: Circle of the Moon.

Fun 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.

Pretty good game

This is a very good game. But there are some downpoints. I've played this game for about an hour and I'm on the last level. And the easy mode and normal mode are too easy but the hard mode is too difficult. I'd recommend this game ages six to ten.

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.

Spidey Redux

Spiderman's first outing on the GBA, delivers as much it needs too but not enough to satisfy. In the 7 odd playable levels each a multistage adventure in its own right, Spidey swings, jumps, fights and dodges his way into familiar territory.

Sharp, crisp graphics, engaging enough sound and tight control do a lot to keep this title's head above water. Though only just make up for the lacking plot and all too brief experience.

Fans and platform junkies; please form a queue to the right, the sceptics can just pass this title by.

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.
