Play Spider-Man - The Movie (F)(Patience) Online

I remember picking up Spider-Man: The Movie for the Game Boy Advance back in 2002. It was developed by Digital Eclipse, and like a lot of licensed games from that era, it tried to capture the feel of the film on a handheld. The GBA was packed with platformers and action titles, and this one fit right in, offering a side-scrolling adventure that let you step into the suit.

You control Spider-Man through a series of levels set in New York, swinging between buildings and fighting thugs and super villains. The main goal is to stop the Green Goblin’s plans, moving screen by screen, using web attacks and acrobatic moves to take down enemies. Swinging takes some practice; it feels awkward at first, but once you get the timing down, you can zip across gaps more smoothly. The combat is straightforward, mixing punches, kicks, and web shots, and you occasionally face off against unexpected villains like Rhino. The pacing is decent, though some sections can feel repetitive, and the difficulty spikes in certain boss fights. Unlocking the black suit near the end still feels like a solid reward for pushing through. It’s a simple, sometimes janky game, but there’s a real satisfaction in pulling off a smooth swing and thwipping your way through the city.
