Play The Amazing Spider-Man Online

Summary

The Amazing Spider‑Man on Nintendo DS translates the movie‑tie‑in action‑adventure into a handheld experience that leans heavily on the system’s dual screens and touch controls. While the core story diverges from the film, the game’s tone captures Spider‑Man’s gritty intensity, and the soundtrack even manages to echo the cinematic vibe. Reviewers praised the responsive combat and the way the DS’s stylus lets you swing through New York’s skyline, but they also noted a steep difficulty curve and repetitive side missions that can feel like filler. Visually, the handheld version sacrifices the polish of its console siblings, resulting in simpler textures that sometimes blur during fast‑paced fights. Despite these quirks, the title stands out among DS releases for its ambitious attempt to bring a blockbuster superhero experience to a portable format.

Storyline

Months after the film’s events, Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy break into Oscorp after hours to investigate rumors that the company is continuing Curt Connors’ cross‑species experiments. They are caught by the new director, Alistair Smythe, who confirms the rumors and shows them the hidden labs, where the cross‑species react violently to Peter’s own altered DNA and infect many scientists, including Smythe and Gwen, with a deadly virus. Donning his Spider‑Man suit, Peter quarantines the infected but the creatures escape into the city.

In the DS title The Amazing Spider-Man, Spider‑Man battles the massive hunting robot S‑01 and frees Connors from a mental institute to help develop a cure. Together they set up a lab in a friend’s apartment, collect samples from Vermin the rat‑cross‑species, and retrieve Connors’ research from a secret Oscorp lab while fighting Rhino, a group of Hunter robots, and the Scorpion cross‑species. Whitney Chang, an undercover reporter, assists them, and after delivering an antidote to Gwen, Smythe tests it on himself, losing his legs and sanity, prompting Spider‑Man to destroy the serpent‑like robot S‑02 and deliver a second, Connors‑DNA‑based cure.

The CDC quarantines the city as Spider‑Man foils a bank robbery by Felicia Hardy. Smythe, now fired, kidnaps Connors, injects Spider‑Man with nanobots that strip his powers, and plans to spread the serum via the giant robot S‑03. With Whitney’s help, Peter electrocutes himself to destroy the nanobots, regains his abilities, and, alongside Connors (who briefly becomes the Lizard), defeats Smythe and cures the infected. The city returns to normal, the Lizard surrenders to prison, and a post‑credits scene shows Smythe ordering a Hunter to end his own life rather than become a cross‑species.
