Gameplay & System: 2D side-scrolling action-based. Combat utilizes the touch pen. Web-slinging and wall-climbing using web are possible. Comic-style cutscenes are inserted during the story. Mission-based stage clear format. Time limits during missions (somewhat difficult). New techniques and abilities can be purchased using points. Fast-paced battles are appealing. Includes some racing and time attack elements. Japanese voice acting with a large amount of dialogue. Operation & UI: D-pad on the left hand, touch pen operation on the right. Touch controls are complex and difficult to get used to. Unintended techniques can occur due to operational errors. Some enemies require careful tactics. High degree of freedom in combat action, providing a sense of exhilaration. Graphics & Presentation: Graphics are highly rated for a DS game. Human character faces in cutscenes are poorly rated. Comic-style presentation is well-received by fans. Rich enemy effects and actions. Difficulty & Volume: Generally somewhat difficult. Some missions are difficult, leading to dropouts. Addictive once you get used to it, enjoying hunting weak enemies. Stage structure can be confusing (despite being side-scrolling). Other Evaluations: Action-focused composition rather than story-focused. Loading times are somewhat long, disrupting the pace. Some people are more engrossed in regular battles than boss battles. Highly rated as a character game for fans. Significantly improved from the previous game (Spider-Man 2 for DS). Enjoyable enough if you're interested in Spider-Man. Some opinions consider it "top class" for a DS action game. #Activision #Game #Action #NintendoDS #Nintendo_DS #DS
