I bought this game and beat it in only three hours because I cheated using an Action Replay which doesn't work anymore. I beat the game without cheats and now I've unlocked the level cheat. I can't seem to be able to get the Armor Upgrade or the strength enhancement. It'd be better if you could play as Green Goblin in the GBA version. I'd suggest buying this game for the other consoles. I like the PC version better.

This game is just a bunch of punching bad guys and searching for the way to go. It is easy to get stuck at a hard boss in this game ,because you have to think in order to beat some of the bosses.In this game you will find you can do all the things spidey can do like crawl up walls and shoot webs. As for bad guys you have to get special webs to shoot them with.The graphics were good ,but all in all I was disappointed in this game.

this was not only the first gba game i ever purchased, but it still stands as my favorite. the graphics are incredible, especially for such a tiny screen. it's a lot of fun to read the comics between levels, and beating the bosses is also fun and challenging. the music is even fabulous. anybody who loves spiderman will love this game. and even if he's not your favorite super hero, i'm sure if you gave this game a chance you would be swept away by the beaufitul detail and wonderful plot.

...like a previous reviewer said, I don't know how to beat the shocker on level six so I am stuck! However, before that the game was really fun. I am now searching the internet for tips on beatig him. It's REALLY frustrating, that's why I only gave four stars.

I am 6 years old. The Spider-man game boy is awesome. You can go far when you get good at it. I like to fight the bad guys, the shockers and the karate guys. Santa brought it to me and it makes me feel good.

Spider-man is the greatest game boy game you could possibly make!
The only thing I don't like is its to short I beat it in like one week but its still cool cause you can still play the game over and over. And after you beat the game you get level cheat were you can skip levels. And if you beat the game with over 15000 points you get super strength. I recomened this game if you like spiderman or not. This game will make you love spiderman.

This game is amazing in terms of graphics (It actually features scenes and screenshots from the movie!) and controls, but the game starts off quite easy and gets nearly impossible from there. In fact, later in the game (level 6 or so), you will be forced to stand/stick to a half-inch sized spot on one wall, then you will be required to move from this safe spot to another across the level, in true spider-man acrobatic style, in perfectly timed gymnastic form; dodging enemies, robots, electric fences, steam blasts, subway cars, and falling rocks... and usually these are all present at the same time! Even with controls as good as this, the timing required to do these things can only come from two things; tons of practice, and tons of luck. Still one of the better games for the system though...

I have the same game for Playsation 2, too, but this one is far better(!).
Wonderfull levels,amazing action, and a great Green Goblin( enemy).
The game's plot is preety much the same as the movie it was based on:
Peter Parker is a shy but A class student. One day he is bitten by a geneticaly enchanged spider that gives him super-powers. First he uses his powers to make money. But one day he watches a thief chased by a cop and he doesn't do anything. Later that night Peter's uncle is killed by the same thief!
So Peter becomes a super-hero with his uncle's words in his mind-
''With great powers comes great responcobility''.

This game is really fun on the Game Boy Advance. While it may not have the graphics of the bigger game systems it does sport that awesome SNES graphics for this highly addictive and fun Spider Man game. Spiderman moves like you wouldn't believe. He's nimble, fast, and has really great lookin moves and techniques. My personal favorite being the swing down (r+A) If you loved the movie (like I did) and have the awesome toys (like I do) this is the obvious next step to living out your fantasy of being the world's favorite wall crawler. The game is also challenging so it will give you your 40 bucks worth. It's also fun to collect the Gold Spiders and take pictures during the game. I don't see why anyone would give this game a bad rating, its adventure/action gaming at it's best. A rare Gem for the Game Boy Advance.

P.S. The reason it doesn't contain the cooler villians such as Lizard, Doc Oc, Venom, or Carnage is because they may be used in future films and future Movie Games. BUT at least it has Green Goblin!

this game is ok but the gamecube version is a lot better. If you're a serious spiderman freak then buy this game for gamecube or xbox.

Letdown when compared to Mysterio's Menace - Review written on May 03, 2002

After releasing the great Spiderman Mysterio's Menace for Gameboy Advance, I thought that this would be a similar and great game, instead Spiderman "the Movie" lacks any complexity and diversity. You are of course Spiderman armed with a few punches; uppercuts, wall clinging and limited web slinging ability (you actually need to find a building in web slinging distance), and finally wall clinging. As for Spiderman's other tricks like a web shield, web bullets and webbing bad guys those are special items that you need to pick up in order to have them! There are unfortunately no maze levels providing simple straightforward game-play against dozens of enemies per level. After every two levels a villain steps forward to challenge Spiderman. Unfortunately because this game is based on the movie, there are less than stellar villains. The Vulture and the Scorpion were never hit villains. The story itself for the game is very watered down compared to other Spiderman games, and the interludes are not comic strips or animated in anyway, instead its Spiderman talking. Something that does add to the playability of the game is the fact that you can actually take pictures by pushing the select button and you can view them at the end of each stage. This game is a letdown.

Did you ever dream about being a super hero and swing from place to place as spider-man? Well if you did your dreams are about to come true. And the bosses are getting harder and harder as you go. As you beat Vulture you face Kraven as the next boss. Beat Shocker and face against Green Goblin for the first time. Later Scorpion appeares. Beat him and face M.E.C.H. Beat this big HK robot and Kraven comes back. Fight bad guys and get to the Kraven for information on the Green Goblin. And last defeat Green Goblin in a hand to hand duel.

If you ever played spider-man games this is one of the greatest! It is so awsome. As you start playing you can't put it down. And another cool thing is that as you play you get movie shots and other spidey stuff. Activion really worked on this one. Anyone who likes good action and adventure should really get this one, it just rules!

Such a Better Game than the first one - Review written on April 22, 2002

If you loved the first one, then im really sure youll love the next one. It has some drawbacks. First, its music. The music is a little bit bland. Its graphics are not as realistic as the first one, nevertheless its cool. It has a whole load of good stuff. Its has clips from the movie. Spiderman has more moves, and it feels like you are spidey himself. Like in the old batman shows, those words boom, zap, crack , or bop or pop up when you hit the villains. No that i mentioned villains, theres a bunch of them. Basically it comes down to this.. ITs a better, definitely longer, and way cool game. Includes battery save. JUST GET IT!! You wont regret.
