Ultimate Spider-Man

First off, I am a die-hard Spidey fanatic! The greatest Super Hero in comic book history (Sorry Superman.) Spidey has always been successful when it comes to videogames. Even dating back to the Spidey title for the Super Nintendo. That was a great game! The films are flawless as are the games bouncing off the films. But, I am sad to announce that Tobey Maguire is not present in Ultimate Spider-Man providing his voice for his greatest role in his career. But, do not fear! The acting is great in the game! Peter is more of a 15 year old in this version. Graphically, it goes back to the comics. (Ultimate Graphic Novels.) The gameplay is phenomenal! It's more simple than Spider-Man 2 but, it's a lot of fun! Swinging around the city has never been so much fun! OK, OK, I love Swinging in Spider-Man 2 as well. (Sorry, Tobey.) The combat system is awesome! Very fast and fluid. The story is straight from the Ultimate comics. (Remember, this is not the original comicbook storyline material, this is two years before the first Spider-Man movie.) The boss battles are actually quite humorous! This game is worth a rent for gamers, for die hard Spidey fans, this game is WORTH a purchase!!

I had did a little research up on Ultimate Spider-man before I went out and bought this game. I didn't care much for the story of the Ultimate storyline Spider-man series with what I had read.

Now I wasn't expecting much when I bought this game. What I got surprised me. The whole thing is done is a artsy comic book style. Think Hulk movie 2003 with the panels showing some action and stuff like that.

The story pretty much follows the Ultimate comics from my understanding. I actually found the story to be one of the most interesting parts about the game. I still like the Amazing Spiderman story better, but the Ultimate storyline isn't as bad as I once thought once I got done with this game.

The gameplay was layed out fine. Spider-man's web swinging from building to building is done perfect in my opinion. Everything flows smoothly with it. Unfortunately the camera can get in the way of the fights sometimes. The boss fights are evenly difficult. Some of the bosses can be a pain sometimes.

The game also throws out a lot of side quest for you to do. Races around the city and combat tours. They can get repetitive and boring fast in my opinion. There are tons of tokens, comic book covers, and other stuff around the city to collect.

Overall this was well above average, but still has it's flaws that can't be easily ignored. Such as the annoying camera and the repetitive side missions. Great lengthy game though. Especially if you're wanting to do everything. It's worth a buy

this is probably my favorite spider-man game. first off, there are nice controls. swinging works quite well in this title, and so does climbing and fighting. there are many collectibles to get, hidden throughout new york. But my favorite thing about ultimate spider-man is the venom game play. its very cool, you can demolish everything in your path. he is a bit slower than spider-man, though. the main missions are generally pretty good, but unfortunately the crimes going on all over new york get repetitive, and after a while, leave you bored. despite this con, its a great game. if your a spider-man fan, check this out. while it probably doesn't exactly deserve a 9, it's just to cool for a big spider-man fan like me.

when spider man 2 came out it was probably the greatest movie games i had ever played when i heard that ultimate spider man was gonna share the SM2 engine i was like yipee now playing it well it's still good but not as fun as spiderman 2 but first let's get down to business in the game you play as spidey (duh) and fight villains such as

RHINO GREEN GOBLIN SHOCKER CARNAGE ELECTRO BEATLE SILVER SABLE

the only problem is that i wanted more villains not just 7 villains and where the hell are such classics as

MYSTERIO KRAVEN THE HUNTER SCROPION SANDMAN THE LIZARD

but fortunately you can also play as venom and trust me it's fun playing as venom blowing stuff up throwing cars too bad it really gets repetitive playing as venom and worst of all there's no chapter selection so once you beat the game it's not as fun as playing venom anymore but still it's a great game but i hate the fact that only 2 marvel characters make cameos THE HUMAN TORCH and WOLVERINE but still good enough game i give it a 8 out of 10

This is one of the most awesome Spider-Man games that has ever been made. There are so many good features that they have put into this piece of work that you almost lose yourself in the game. But everything, alas, comes at a price.

First, there's the good stuff, which is like, 99.9% of the game. The story is is understandable, which is a must for any game. The story basically revolves around the time where Peter Parker meets his childhood friend Eddie Brock. The game starts off with Peter against Venom for the first time. As the story develops, Spider-Man unlocks different attacks and Venom becomes harder.

The game play is very cool as well. The controls are easy to use. The swinging as Spider-Man is very good and so is the controls for Venom.

There is a variety of different villains that you face. They include Green Goblin, Rhino and Electro. There is a few more.

The only bad thing about this is some of the levels. In a few Spider-Man missions you have to prove your strength and lift or move heavy items using the triggers on your controller. Pretty difficult, but nowhere near the mission where you play as Venom against Carnage. You have to open some doors, and those doors are hard to open.

But overall, the acting, the story, the game play and the characters in this all add up to a really enjoyable game.
