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.

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.

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!

a few good things:

-good graphics
-many unlockables
-easy controls
-good use of the touch screen

a few bad things:

-when an ememy hits you, you have to do spidy sense to escape
-annoyingly hard levels, unless you are a game master
-kind of hard boss battles

if you have patience, and are good at video games, this game is worth buying. if not, maybe you should rent it.

When I got this game for easter i was really happy because I thought it was just like the ps2 one but I was wrong ... It is sooo much harder to beat the bad guys and to recsuce all the people frome the burning building I still never beat the first level because I cant find the secret unlock This game wasnt all that fun because it was just so hard

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.

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.

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! :)

I got this game in a bundle when the DS first came out. I could only play it for about an hour before I couldn't stand anymore of the drek. The gameplay reminded me of one of the old cheepo side scrolling NES games that where out pumped by the gallon in the day. The graphics are good, and the controls where OK, but after that it's mostly down hill. The goofy bare-bone story has little to do with the movie. The gameplay has rudimentary goals, rescue the hapless citizens, and beat the boss, get new unimpressive power, rinse repeat. The sound effects and music where also had a similar lack luster quality, feeling quite basic. Since I never finished the game and played only 3 levels I cannot say if it gets better, but why would I want to torture myself to find out.

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.
