Play Spider-Man - Battle for New York (E)(Rising Sun) Online

Spider-Man: Battle for New York came out for the Game Boy Advance in 2006, developed by Vicarious Visions. It was part of that wave of handheld tie-ins that tried to capture the feel of bigger console games, with a focus on straightforward action and clear objectives. You get to play as both Spider-Man and the Green Goblin, which was a nice twist for a handheld title at the time.

You control either hero or villain through a series of side-scrolling levels, beating up thugs, avoiding hazards, and moving screen by screen. Spider-Man relies on web-swinging and close combat, while Green Goblin uses his glider to bomb enemies from above. The game encourages exploration with hidden collectibles, and the pacing stays brisk, though some sections can feel repetitive. It’s a simple, solid beat-em-up that captures the back-and-forth feel of a comic book brawl.
