I have a red Spider-Man and I want to paint him black.
You won't be blown away by any aspect of the game's presentation, but the graphics and audio generally get the job done in positive fashion. Spidey has a vast number of wacky, comic-inspired attacks, and both he and his enemies are fluidly animated. The same backgrounds are recycled frequently, although you won't have much chance to get bored with them since you'll be too busy beating up goons, swinging through the air, and smashing furniture to care. Music and sound effects consist of dramatic themes and an assortment of punches and groans that fit the action, even if they're not specifically taken from the Spider-Man 3 movie. Between levels, the story is told through still scenes put together with custom comic book artwork and text dialogue.
There are certainly better action games available for the Game Boy Advance. However, none of those, apart from the earlier Spider-Man games, let you swing through the air and sling webs like Spider-Man. And this one lets you do so in the legendary black costume. For that reason, fans of the character and anyone who enjoyed the movie will likely be satisfied with the GBA version of Spider-Man 3.
