Daredevil (2003). Play online

Summary

Daredevil for the Game Boy Advance gives you a classic punch‑kick‑jump platform experience starring Marvel’s blind lawyer hero. The game leans heavily into comic‑book flair, bathing each stage in bright, vibrant colors and punctuating combat with classic “Pow!” and “Bif!” pop‑ups. Though it shipped as a tie‑in for the February 14, 2003 film, the level design feels more like the over‑the‑top comic universe than the gritty movie.
Across 23 distinct stages I swing from rooftops, barrel through traffic and explore cramped interior and subterranean set‑pieces, all while uncovering an original storyline presented in comic‑style cutscenes. Griptonite Games developed the title under the Encore label of Navarre, with THQ and BAM! Entertainment handling publishing. It’s a neat slice of early‑2000s handheld nostalgia that captures Daredevil’s heightened senses without sacrificing pure side‑scroll action.

Storyline

The game opens with Stick warning Daredevil that the Kingpin has placed a price on his head. He then heads into New York’s underworld, confronting the ninja assassin Kirigi, who believes Daredevil works for the Kingpin and sends him to kill him. After a subway chase, Daredevil defeats Echo, who claims he never allied with the Kingpin. Bullseye awaits at a construction site, where Daredevil exposes the bounty as a fraud and learns Bullseye is actually in league with the Kingpin. Bullseye, oddly armed with a handgun, is defeated atop the site.

The final confrontation takes place in the Kingpin’s penthouse. Daredevil interrogates Wilson Fisk, discovering that the bounty was a ruse and that the Kingpin had tried to frame him. After a tough battle, Daredevil overcomes the Kingpin. In the aftermath, Fisk tells reporters the arrest was “media distortion,” while Daredevil keeps the Kingpin’s true identity hidden.
