Based on summer 2004's cinematic sequel,
Spider-Man 2, this small-screen edition has the fabled web-slinger scrolling through a Manhattan rife with criminals. In addition to the thugs and lizards that seem to be threatening the good people of New York at every turn, a number of infamous
Marvel super-villains cameo as end-level boss characters.
Mysterio,
Hobgoblin, and
Rhino each take a turn at challenging
Spidey as he makes his way toward a final confrontation with arch-nemesis
Doctor Octopus. Luckily,
Spider-Man is armed with powerful punches, refillable webbing, and an invaluable "Spider-Sense" that alerts him to impending danger. An info bar at the bottom of the screen displays the hero's current health status and web-fluid levels. This movie-based
Spider-Man 2 was developed by
Vicarious Visions, the same studio that crafted the
GBA's 2001
Spider-Man game,
Mysterio's Menace.
