		Spider-Man 2 ™

Two years have passed since Peter Parker first hit the streets of New York City as the conflicted crime-fighter Spider-Man. Now he finds himself battling his most diabolical villain yet, the mechanized, multi-tentacled Doc Ock. The nefarious Doc Ock was once Dr. Otto Octavius, a brilliant nuclear physicist. But a freak accident transformed him from a timid researcher to a criminally insane megalomaniac who blames Spider-Man for his horrible transformation. Now the scientist Peter once idolized for his remarkable intellect has marked our web-slinger for death.

Spidey is back in an all-new action-adventure on the Nintendo DS! This launch title for the system pushes the boundaries of the Nintendo DS with 3D graphics, touch screen move selection, and mini-games.

	"...finishing off the demonstration with what Reggie calls his favorite launch title of them all, Spider-Man 2 from Activision and Vicarious Visions."

	"Following up on Treyarch's console Spider-Man 2 is no easy task"..."Fortunately, Vicarious Visions looks to be making a similar leap in quality -- this time over the previous portable Spider-Man games."

	"While the game is still cooking over at Vicarious, the work-in-progress version we've played at Nintendo's Gamer's Summit is certainly looking sharp."

	We chat up Karthik Bala, CEO of Vicarious Visions, to find out more about Activision's Nintendo DS launch title and development for the handheld.

	Spider-Man DS has been one of the upcoming DS titles to watch since its debut at Nintendo's Gamer's Summit last month.

	Superhero Hype

	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.
