Spider-Man: Mysterio's Menace (GameBoy Advance)

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]

Critic Reviews

90 Hot Games
A fantastic and playable miniature Spider-man that’s fun and visually appealing. What more could you ask for in a game?
90 GamePro
Each web action has its own distinct sound, and swinging through Manhattan on a web line is feels and sounds just right.
89 GameSpy
It offers an imaginative, well-conceived design wrapped up in a very pretty package.
85 GameSpot
[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.
85 IGN
The game captures the proper feel of the webhead, and it's definitely the best side-scrolling action game starring the classic Marvel superhero.
78 GameZone
Spidey looks great in this format, the animations are excellent and the game play is solid.
70 All Game Guide
It just performs exactly like a superhero-based game should, delivering solid gameplay, a smooth learning curve, and enough variety to keep the levels fresh.
60 Electronic Gaming Monthly
Short-lived, but a decent portable Spidey game. [Oct 2001, p.158]
