The two Spider-Man movies (and upcoming third, certainly) are lauded for their excellent direction and production values. However, despite the critical and commercial success, the Spider Man/Green Goblin storyline in the first movie was a far cry from the depth it had in the original comic book series (especially the legendary Amazing Spider-Man #121 and #122, involving Gwen Stacy). Feel the same way? Well, get excited for the upcoming DS game, Spider Man: Battle for New York. According to a press release: "Spider-Man: Battle for New York allows gamers to take on the role of their favorite Super Hero, Spider-Man, and one of his famed nemeses, Green Goblin, in an original storyline which builds upon their legendary comic book rivalry. For the first time in a handheld Spider-Man game, players can personalize their gaming experiences by choosing what abilities and powers to upgrade and when, as they progress through the game. Playing as both good and evil, gamers will experience levels packed with frenzied action, in-depth combat and a host of unique super moves as they embark on the ultimate quest to save New York City from almost certain disaster."
Sure sounds good to us. Comic books FTW!
