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.
-
The comic book quality graphics and spot on story telling are the icing on an already fun to play, easy to control game.
-
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.
-
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.
-
The game is varied enough and contains enough special moves to give you a few runs though without feeling like complete repetition.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Absolutely fantastic storytelling using animated dual-screen comic panels with extensive voice over. It's the driving force of the entire production.
-
It's just a marvelous and beautifully constructed adventure game.
-
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.
-
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.
-
A fantastic representation of the comic book. The story is compelling, if short, and the gameplay is fun for the most part.
-
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.
-
The cell shaded look is effective, and all the environments feel vibrant.
-
Nintendo PowerA noble experiment that fails to achieve its full potential. [Dec 2005, p.121]
-
A solid game that gets bogged down far too often to be considered great.
