As you may not know, Metacritic is undergoing a site-wide redesign at the moment, and our Nintendo DS section does not yet "appear" on the site, and many of the publications which we will cover for those games are not yet entered into our system. During the transition, please come to this thread for access to the individual game pages and "overflow reviews", all of which will be added to our DS section once the re-design is complete - hopefully by the end of November. And please, if you're going to comment on the individual games, do it on the actual pages rather than in this thread so that the larger community can benefit by your opinions! As always, thanks for contributing the forums! -- Marc

Spider-Man 2

overflow reviews not found on page:

Game Chronicles (92)
Using a masterful combination of web shoot and D-pad combinations you can swing, or zip line vertically or horizontally across rooms. Everything feels so natural, just like a full-size console. Some of this can be attributed to the DS design but there is no denying that the design team put a lot of effort into the gameplay mechanics.

Console Gold (87)
Its nice to see a launch title take advantage of all the bells and whistles of a new platform so well. Spider-Man 2 has really set itself apart from the long list of planned DS launch titles. I give it the thumbs up.

EToychest (87)
It offers enough action for fans of brawlers to sink their thumbs and teeth into, and its controls are simple and intuitive enough for a novice to pick up and enjoy. Spider-Man 2 is one of the most enjoyable DS launch titles, and even outside of that thinking it is a tremendous effort and a fabulous game.

Gaming Nexus (87)
This is a gaming thoroughbred that will demand you feed it over the holiday season. If your first priority this week is the DS, make your second one a copy of Spider-Man 2. It’s the game that will show your friends what the hardware truly can do.

Gaming Illustrated (84)
Easily the most impressive feature of the graphics is the level of detail with the fluid motion with all the characters in the game. It's almost a combination of 2D characters running around in a 3D world, but there's no denying that the graphics are amongst the best on hand-held devices at this time.


Feel The Magic: XY/XX


Madden NFL 2005


Asphalt Urban GT


Super Mario 64 DS

The developers at NCL have done a lot with the original game to give players a considerable amount of new content to keep the experience of playing a title that originated back in 1996 still feeling fresh and fun.


Urbz: Sims in the City


Mr. Driller: Drill Spirits
