Spider-Man: Battle for New York allows players to take on the role of Spider-Man and one of his famed nemeses, Green Goblin. For the first time in a handheld Spider-Man game, players can personalize their experiences by choosing what abilities and powers to upgrade and when, such as Spider-Man’s web manoeuvres or Green Goblin’s fire attacks.

Conman’s Last Hunt
Entry 8
The act of hitting enemies is so simplistic and unsatisfying that it might as well auto attack like it’s an mmo. This has the art of Ultimate Spider-Man, but it lacks its significantly more satisfying player control. It also lacks Venom.
The inclusion of a playable Green Goblin makes sense, as it’s a prequel to a game where you zip/crawl as Spider-Man and then wreck shop as big boy Venom. Unfortunately his Ultimate design is stupid and ugly and his gameplay is bad.
Spider-Man himself doesn’t fare much better, as the enemies and obstacles have ridiculous hitboxes; every enemy is Donatello from the NES Ninja Turtles game. Even fire can hurt you by proximity, which I guess is realistic but that’s a generous stretch. Frustrating in an uninteresting way.
Not a very fun videogame.

Dont remember much about this game, just know i played it.
This game brought me in the early 2000: the difficulty, the level design and the music. The game feels dated, and it's not the best Spider-Man game I've ever played on a portable console.
Played both GBA and DS versions to compare. Didn't feel like logging it twice since there isn't much to say.
Basically they used the Ultimate Spider-Man engine from the gba/DS game and used it to make this, a boring game where you also get to play as Green Goblin (who randomly looks like the Hulk at the beginning which confused me and twitch chat). The missions are nowhere near as fun as Ultimate GBA was.
Didn't finish this one. Put in maybe 5 hours total between the two versions. Felt like a C team made this one.

acho que eu me diverti mais do que o público mais casual por ter lido as histórias do Ultimate Homem-Aranha e jogado o jogo, do qual esse é um prequel
Desnecessariamente difícil. edit: mentira, a gameplay que é ruim.
