Summary
Mysterio is in the Big Apple, turning the city into a giant movie set and playing evil tricks upon your mind in an effort to defeat you for good. But, you have a few tricks of your own: namely, special attacks, vital power-ups and special suits that protect you from harm and regenerate your health. Mysterio is the master of illusion, and will use his special effects to make everyday objects your worst enemies. But, he's forgotten one thing - you're a spide who refuses to lose. [Activision]

A fantastic and playable miniature Spider-man that’s fun and visually appealing. What more could you ask for in a game?

Each web action has its own distinct sound, and swinging through Manhattan on a web line is feels and sounds just right.

It offers an imaginative, well-conceived design wrapped up in a very pretty package.

[It] has a steep learning curve and isn't terribly lengthy, but outside of these main gripes, it is also a solid platform for Marvel's Spider-Man character.

The game captures the proper feel of the webhead, and it's definitely the best side-scrolling action game starring the classic Marvel superhero.

Short-lived, but a decent portable Spidey game. [Oct 2001, p.158]

Spidey gave it a 9:
Short. but sweet.
Wesley W. gave it a 10:
One of the best 2-D action games ever created and the 2nd best spidey game ever only to the first spidey on Playstation. Tremendous fun, longer that most games in the genre with replay value, and very addictive. The polygonal spiderman moves very smoothly and looks incredibly slick. Must have for any GBA owner.
