Play Spider-Man - The Movie (U)(Mode7) Online
Swing through pixelated NYC, webbing up random villains between awkward wall climbs—Scorpion’s here for some reason, and punching him feels oddly satisfying. The Mode7 swinging’s neat until you get stuck on a fire escape again.
Spider-Man: The Movie for the Game Boy Advance came out in 2002, developed by Digital Eclipse and published by Activision. It was one of the many licensed games from that era, trying to capture the feel of the film on a handheld. The GBA had a lot of these action platformers, and this one stood out mostly for its attempt to bring web-swinging to the small screen.
You control Spider-Man through a series of side-scrolling levels, fighting thugs and supervillains like the Green Goblin and Shocker. The main goal is to stop the villains' plans across New York, moving from one area to the next. Key mechanics include web-swinging, which uses a Mode7 effect to simulate depth, and wall-crawling to navigate environments. Combat relies on punches, kicks, and web attacks to subdue enemies. The game moves at a decent pace, though some sections can feel repetitive, and the difficulty spikes in certain boss fights. It feels like a straightforward, sometimes clunky, but earnest effort to translate the web-slinger's movement into a 2D space.
