Video Game Reviews of Spider-Man: Battle for New York
Customer Review: Disappointing
Summary: 2 Stars
Spider-Man games on the GBA have usually tended to be pretty good, which is why my expectations for Spider-Man: Battle for New York were a bit high. Well, let me be the first to say that the GBA version of Spider-Man: Battle for New York is a disappointing entry in the web-slinger's video game saga. Pretty much a follow up to last year's Ultimate Spider-Man, Battle for New York lets you alternate between Spidey and the Ultimate version of the Green Goblin (he looks more like the Hulk and less like the Goblin we know from the regular Marvel universe) as each rampage through the city on an inevitable collision course. Graphically, Battle for New York features some crisp character animation and nice comic art, but the backgrounds and areas are bland. Not to mention that the game is incredibly easy, repetitive, and very short. It's not hard at all to get through the game in a few hours, and those few hours aren't as fun as the time you spent on the GBA classic Spider-Man: Mysterio's Menace or even the GBA versions of Spider-Man 1 & 2 released alongside the movies. It's a shame because the potential was here for another great GBA Spidey adventure, but sadly the potential got wasted away.
