Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Spidey is back on the Game Boy in Activision's sequel, featuring the dastardliest team of Spider foes imaginable. The fiendish Doctor Octopus orders his Sinister Six (Sandman, Mysterio, Kraven the Hunter, the Vulture, and Scorpion) supervillain team to kidnap Peter Parker in an effort to lure Spidey to his rescue (Parker is, of course, Spider-Man, but they don't know that). Instead they find and snatch his venerable Aunt May, and soon Spider-Man is hot on their trail.

Like the previous Spider-Man Game Boy title, Spider-Man 2: The Sinister Six takes place on a two-dimensional series of battlefields. Spidey can wall-crawl, stick to ceilings, punch, kick, and jump, and shoot webs. He can also web-swing from platform to platform. They've given him a few new moves that let him do leaping attacks, and a power-up that makes him invulnerable. The action begins on the docks and moves to other locations, such as a warehouse and office building. A supervillain boss defends each stage; figuring out how to defeat his cronies will keep you on your toes.

The gameplay is simple, but Spidey has a nice array of powers that keep the combat and movement interesting. The game features 18 levels and countless thugs to beat up. Cool comic-book-style cutscenes bookend each level nicely.

Fans of the webhead will be delighted to face off against so many of the wall crawler's cooler rogues gallery in a single game. Plus, the colorful yet minimalist graphics don't disappoint, as Spidey is drawn larger this time around and moves quite easily. But the game's best selling point is the creativity found in the simple yet fun-to-swing-around-in level design. --Andrew S. Bub

Pros:

• Faithful to the hero and the comics
• A good variety of boss villains
• Excellent level design

Cons:

• Repetitive action
• No replay value

5.0 out of 5 stars Spider-Man 2: The Sinister Six Review, May 19, 2001

This game is great. The graphics are great as well. You get plenty of villains to face (Mysterio, Sandman, Vulture, Kraven The Hunter, Scorpian, and Dr. Octopus). The levels are long and there's plenty of them (About 18) I'd recomend this game for any Spider-Man fan or any comicbook fan.

5.0 out of 5 stars A RARE CLASSIC, October 27, 2001

bertram klemm (sterling heights, MI United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Spider-Man 2: The Sinister Six (Game Cartridge)

this is without a doubt on of the best spider-man games i have played. for some odd reason it only saw limited release in the us. not all stores i checked had it. infact of the 6 states i checked (michigan,new york,calafornia,florida,maine,and ohio) no state had this game in a full supply. i was suprised to see it here for sale. even major game softwere sites don't offer it. some i e-mailed said it never existed. the gameplay is great, but only if you like classic side scroller's. the sound is ok, and the graphics aren't as eye straining as i thought they would be. it is the the second best spider-man title ever made for any game boy system. over shaddowed only by mysterio's menace for GBA. and sence gameboy advance (gba) is not as common to peoiple as game boy color i highkly recomend this game. this title unlike the first installment of the activision spider-man series is exclusive to the gbc (game boy color) and is one of the best titles made for the system. sence it is somewhat rare i would pick up a copy here at amazon.com while they last. and no they didn't pay me to say that. :) seeya lated.

Spider-Man returns in this awesome adventure which puts the GBC system to the max! Aunt May has been kidnapped by the Sinister Six thinking she was Peter which we all know is Spidey. Spider-Man is hot on the trail but it's up to you to stop them! Good luck!
