Game Chronicles
This is definitely the ultimate superhero experience on the DS, making the most of the dual screen for presentation and gameplay and a valiant attempt at touch screen control.
 92
Gamezilla!
The comic book quality graphics and spot on story telling are the icing on an already fun to play, easy to control game.
91
WHAM! Gaming
It ended just in time - the end of the game comes down to, more than anything, one big boss battle after another - and left us with a true feeling of accomplishment.
89
PGNx Media
The game boasts fun 2D gameplay mixed with an impressive 3D presentation. The story and storytelling are awesome, perhaps the best on the Nintendo DS.
87
GamingTrend
The game is varied enough and contains enough special moves to give you a few runs though without feeling like complete repetition.
85
Worth Playing
The action-packed gameplay is extremely well done, and the overall polish of the whole experience might be found in the console version of the game.
83
GameZone
The touchscreen sequences for Venom are well done and use that feature of the DS to the gamer’s advantage. But the Spidey sequences under-use the touch screen, and the sound can be a little tinny at times, when heard through the DS speaker.
82
Gaming Nexus
Follows the plot to the letter and serves up its own unique style of gameplay, but the controls need some polish. Like the console releases it has a short lifespan and little to no replay value afterwards, but it’s still plenty of hectic fun while it lasts.

IGN
Absolutely fantastic storytelling using animated dual-screen comic panels with extensive voice over. It's the driving force of the entire production.

Modojo
It's just a marvelous and beautifully constructed adventure game.

Nintendojo
There are some flaws in the game, but its distinctive visual style and upgraded gameplay give it a slight edge over the web-slinger's earlier DS outing.
70
Thunderbolt
It’s a huge improvement over its DS predecessor, treating gamers to a new and darker storyline. Not only does it have the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man doing what he does best, but it also lets you step into the claws of one of the hero’s most amazing and deadly enemies.

NintendoWorldReport
A fantastic representation of the comic book. The story is compelling, if short, and the gameplay is fun for the most part.
70
Cheat Code Central
It's not a long game and the mutliplayer aspects won't elongate your enjoyment of the title by any stretch. At the end of the day it's just more Spider-Man and maybe that's enough for you.

PALGN
The cell shaded look is effective, and all the environments feel vibrant.
65
Nintendo Power
A noble experiment that fails to achieve its full potential. [Dec 2005, p.121]
64
Armchair Empire
A solid game that gets bogged down far too often to be considered great.
