   Just like in Ultimate Spider-Man you are playing in Mark Bagley’s comic book world, a 3D environment that feels as though you’re jumping in and out of the pages and panels of a comic book.

   You play half the game as Spider-Man and the other half as the Green Goblin. You fight gang members and save New Yorkers caught in the action. The fighting gets monotonous though and grown-up kids are going to get tired soon. Younger players will mind it as much but don’t expect them to reach for this game so quickly a month after you buy it.

   As a parent, the minigames were frustrating. The one involving the locks requires you to lift an increasing number of tumblers into place. Each tumbler shakes and cascade if left in place too long. My kids often would question me to help them get past these minigames.

   The side-scrolling levels are simple to follow but they look a lot better than you’d expect due to the 3D and comic book stylishness. Younger kids will appreciate the music and sound effects that combine to really take you into Spider-Man’s universe.

   The game is shorter than other adventure titles on the Nintendo DS but tariff about average for the beat-’em-up superhero sports meeting available.

   Spider-Man and beat ‘em up’s go hand in hand, especially on portable systems. Spider-Man: Battle for New York for the DS is a slightly above average beat ‘em up featuring Marvel’s resident wall-crawler, and also allows you to play as Spidey’s nemesis, the Green Goblin. While playing as both characters, you both aim to save and ruin the city, while avoiding various enemies and hazards. The basics of the game are the typical kind you’d find in a portable beat ‘em up, but the game looks so excellent that you’ll hardly notice or care. Battle for NY nicely utilizes the DS’ ability for 3-D graphics and cell-shaded animation effects surprisingly well (you may recall the Spider-Man 2 movie tie in game did as well when the system launched) and the game controls quite excellent as well. There are a few character based mini-sports meeting as well that use the touch screen, and the game isn’t really any better or worse with or without them. What really hurts Battle for NY is that the game is incredibly small. There’s no real bonuses to unlock either or anything to offer some replayability, and there’s no Wi-Fi or multiplayer compatibility (which would have been sweet). That aside, Spider-Man: Battle for New York isn’t a terrible game whatsoever, and is certainly worth checking out, but it could have been much, much better.

   This game is a challenging game waiting for expert gamers to buy it. It is a lot of fun and it is not very simple. It is a lot of fun because you get to play as spiderman and the green goblin. The only unenthusiastic thing I would say about it is it is a small too challenging. Presume being at the first boss in this game, after completing 1 lv. with spiderman and 1 lv. with the green goblin. The next level is fighting the green goblin with spiderman and the green goblin uses the cheapest moves known to video sports meeting!!!! Other than that it is a very excellent game waiting for people to buy it!!!

   Spider man Battle For New York is awesome. You play as Spider-man and the Green Goblin. It is fun to fight the other marvel characters to I will only tell you one of them and it is Silver Sable. It took me half an hour to remember the controls but then I got used to it. The touch screen mini sports meeting are also cool like when you draw the rest of a web. Spider man fans or ultimate spidey fans should get this. If you want to borrow your friends before you buy thats fine but BUY THIS GAME.
