Play Amazing Spider-Man 2, The (USA, Europe) Online

Bits Studios released The Amazing Spider-Man 2 for the Game Boy in 1992, a time when handheld games were often simplified versions of their console counterparts. This title, based on the 90s animated series, puts you in control of Spider-Man as he swings through a side-scrolling New York filled with familiar villains and obstacles. It was a solid effort for the hardware, offering a compact superhero experience you could take anywhere.

You play as Spider-Man, moving screen by screen through urban environments, fighting thugs and supervillains like the Rhino and Doctor Octopus. The main goal is to stop a series of criminal plots, which involves platforming, combat, and occasional exploration. Signature mechanics include web-swinging to cross gaps and climb walls, as well as using Spidey's punches and web shots to subdue enemies. The pacing is brisk, though some sections demand precise jumps and quick reactions. It feels satisfying to navigate the city and take down bosses, even with the limitations of the small screen and two-button controls.
