Spider-Man: Battle for New York boasts fun 2D gameplay mixed with an impressive 3D presentation. The game’s biggest fault is that it hasn’t made any significant strides since last year, but it remains one of the most fun 2D action games on the Nintendo DS.

The lack of any extra modes could be forgiven if the main story wasn't so short. You can easily finish this title in a weekend play through.

While it’s a bit on the short side, Spider-Man: Battle for New York is a fun portable action game that does a great job of retelling the tale of the rivalry between our favorite web-head and the Green Goblin.

Basically just a few more levels for Ultimate Spider-Man, it has the same slightly tedious to-ing and fro-ing within very linear levels, repetitive boss fights and an awkward combination of buttons and touch screen for controls. **** Dimensions is much better.

Battle For New York will satiate the inner comic book fan for a few hours, but a rental would certainly settle your cravings for some Spidey action.

Many, many better games are out there, but not a whole lot for those looking for a DS superhero fix.

It's worth playing. It's not hard, but it's still satisfying for a short while.

At the end of the day, Battle for New York isn’t worth the cash if you’ve already played one of the other DS games, and since it looks like they’ll be using the same engine in the future, you might as well hold out if you haven’t experienced any of the previous titles. Sorry, Spidey.

Still, it's a decent platformer that fans of Ultimate Spider-Man comics will find mildly entertaining. [Feb. 2007, p.94]

Playing it doesn't make you feel like a superhero or a supervillian, and the game makes unsatisfying use of the DS' technology. Lack of variety and an insistence on turgid fetch-and-carry missions seals this as one to avoid.
