Spider-Man 2

Times Online

The 2-D levels lend this minor actioner a cartoon-like feel that is faithful to the superhero’s Marvel roots, but it is the four good-looking 3-D levels that really put the nGage’s processing power to the test.

The only problem with the game is that it is rather short and the dedicated gamer can get through it in a sitting or two. I was surprised by how different the game was to the Gameboy Advance version.

The controls are decent but don’t expect the same experience you get on the console version.

IGN

The game has lofty intentions by mixing up gameplay styles, but what gamers end up with a side-scrolling game of Game Boy Advance caliber (which is not an insult) interrupted by jaggy, un-fun PSone 3-D swingfests.

Game Informer

I certainly appreciate the ambition with regard to the 3D swinging sections, but there isn't enough good material to push this game above its impressive, but un-fun tech demo feel. [Sept 2004, p.118]

Just not that much fun to play, especially with the technical issues. They threw in some impressive 3D graphics, but it was only for the visual appeal. The 3D rounds have no relevance to the game and ultimately make the rest of the game suffer.

Suitable only for the kids on long journeys or perhaps rabid Spiderman fans. Just make sure there are headphones though or there will still be trouble on that journey, as the music and sounds will soon annoy.

While by no means a disaster, the N-Gage version could be the worst Spider-Man game in some time.

GameSpot

While portions of the game show promise, Spider-Man 2's jerky gameplay and occasional crash bugs overshadow these promising points.

GameZone

Spider-Man 2 attempts to combine 2D and 3D levels in one adventure, but neither makes the game seem completed. It almost seems like it’s 50% complete – all the levels are in place, now they need to tweak them in order to add the fun.

Game Power Australia

A sloppy game that's difficult to recommend and certainly not worth its asking price. A disappointing release.

Often the objectives are not as clear as they could be, leaving you to wander about like a vagabond until luck happens to fall in your favor. Still, the level designs themselves are well thought out for the most part, but even the most ingenious designs wear then on the fourth or fifth pass through.

GamerFeed

A major dud on the N-Gage, ill-equipped with its unlikable gameplay, its horrid 3D sequences, and its lack of general excitement.
