sci-fi

Do not listen to other people who have review this item and gave it one star. They are probable little kids who are under 18 and don't know how to play a game with challenge. That is what good about this game it has old-school challenge and that is important and very hard for me to find in a game. The villians are cool the story is somewhat the same as the N64 version but a little different.

my 12 year old son bought this with Christmas money. He loves the game and it has renewed his interest in his 3 yr. old Game Boy....wanted to get Game Boy advance but we discouraged. Great seller, fast transaction

Before Spider-Man became a box office smash and became everyone's favorite hero, Activision changed the way super hero licensed video games would be by releasing the surprisingly great Spider-Man games for the PS1, N64, and Dreamcast. Eventually a GameBoy Color version would be released, and while it's nowhere near anything great, it is surprisingly solid and challenging. The graphics are typical 8-bit side scroller fare, but are colorful and well animated. Controls are simple and the enemies (especially Venom) are very challenging. This game is also surprising in the fact that it is more solidly realized than any other 8-bit or 16-bit home console game that was nothing more than a repetitive beat 'em up with a comic license attached to it. All in all, those who only have a GameBoy Color and are fans of the web head should give this a whirl.
