Definitely fun, but not as good as Spider-Man 2 Nov 15, 2005
By N. Durham
"Big Evil"
Last year's Spider-Man 2 was undoubtadly the best super hero game ever made, and the same formula that made that game so great has been applied here to Ultimate Spider-Man. The biggest difference between the two games you will notice immediately: Ultimate Spider-Man boasts some great cell-shaded graphics that make the game look like a living, moving comic book that suit the game very well. Some have argued that the game looks too cartoony, but the graphics are superbly rendered nontheless. You can play as either Spidey or his arch nemesis Venom, and you trek through New York on objective based missions beating up baddies, racing, and there are some nifty boss battles as well to go along with a good story penned by USM comic scribe Brian Michael Bendis. The control is tight and easy to get ahold of, and the audio effects (including voice acting) is pretty spot on for the most part. However, Ultimate Spider-Man is ultimately not as fun or awe-inspiring as Spider-Man 2. Despite the fact the game environment is huge, it doesn't feel or look like the massive playing environment in Spider-Man 2. Also, the game feels incredibly linear and the objectives are pretty repetitive and can get old real quick. Not to mention that playing as Venom isn't as fun as playing as Spidey, and his part of the game just feels sluggish. However, there is still much to admire here, as the boss battles are nicely orchestrated, and there are cameos aplenty from Marvel characters (including Wolverine, the Ultimate version of Nick Fury, the Human Torch, and more) that will keep players and Marvel fans happy. All in all, if you enjoyed Spider-Man 2, you'll dig Ultimate Spider-Man, but don't expect it to top Spider-Man 2.

 Spectacular, but not Amazing Jan 13, 2006
By vafreebird
I've only been playing this game for a few days, but it was enough to inspire me to write a short review (my first). If you are looking for your first Spider-Man game, buy Spider-Man 2. If you finished that one, and you want another game, then buy this one.
This games looks wonderful, but there are two aspects that annoy me to no end.
1. The web swinging is horrible. I'll never understand why they didn't just use the same model from Spider-Man 2. It was perfect. You could swing simply by pressing and releasing a button, or you could develop skill at swinging so that you can move through the city with pinpoint accuracy. I still find myself loading up Spider-Man 2 just to swing through the city for a while. In this game, press R... release R... press R... release R... It is very simplistic and doesn't allow you to move with style like the previous game. I'll mention the two good things just to be fair. Your web still has to attach to a building (or something), not an invisible cloud way up in the sky. Second, the web zip is improved, but I think they improved it only because climbing a tall building without charge jump would have been torture otherwise.
2. This may change as I get further in the game, but so far... you always start in Queens. I get annoyed that I have to make my way to the bridge and swing across (or under) it just to get to Manhattan where the real fun is.
I give the game a 3 overall because in the swinging area it feels as if they took a giant step backwards. However, it is a Spider-Man game that looks great and is still fun, so I give a 4 for fun.

Ultimate Spider-Man...There Was Supposed To Be Something 'Amazing' or 'Ultimate', Right? Apr 04, 2006
By G. Boone
"Mugsy"
I remember when the first Spider-Man comic came out. Yeah I'm dating myself.
He was 'Amazing' for all those years. He could climb walls, leap great distances, swing at mind numbing speeds, had AMAZINGLY fast reflexes and strength. Notice that adjective 'AMAZING'.
However, this game has more of a 'LETHARGIC' Spider-Man. He can't jump for squat, he runs slower than molasses running uphill, he swings like he needs mental help therapy, and even Aunt May can jump higher than him. It's sort of like 'Play Skool Spider-Man' or something. You can grow a beard in time it takes to get some things done during this game's action.
The previous game 'Spider-Man 2' based on the popular movie, lived up to it's name! You really felt like you were the wallcrawler using his AMAZING powers to thwart evil. In 'Ultimate Spider-Man' the only thing 'ultimate' is your patience.
Not all is lost. I love the art style. It's rather refreshing. The color schemes are like your kid sister got hold of the crayons and went postal on your yearbook though. The story is just fine. Lots and lots of action and the kicker is you get to play as either Spidey or the purple-people-eater Venom. Playing as Venom sort of made up for not being able to play as Spider-Man. These Venom battles are fierce. Lots of destruction and you get to throw foreign made cars at people and helicopters.
There are chases, battles, strategies, I don't mind them as they make for more fun gameplay. Not enough of the classic characters like J. Jonah Jameson and Aunt May. I can't think of one gameplay scenario that was impossible. They were rather quite challenging and easy.
As a Spidey fan I'll hold on to it and keep playing.
However one final warning, there are chases with the Human Torch that are just intolerable. I stopped playing them as they became too time consuming although they had the funniest dialogue.
Buy at own risk.
I hope in the future Spidey games will go back to the Spider-Man 2 formula. If they put out a new Spidey game each year I would be happy. Just touring NY City by web swinging is fun! In this game NY City doesn't look like NY City. It looks more like when you play frisbee in the house and knock over your mom's pocket book and all those cosmetics fall out.

 This is what happens when you let actual Comic Creators make a game... Sep 25, 2005
By James Y. Hash
"Jay Hash"
I'll say it up front: I am biased. I'm a big fan of Brian Michael Bendis and an even bigger fan of Spider-Man. A month or so ago I got onto this really big Bendis kick and with that came Ultimate Spider-Man the comic. The book itself was amazing, and before long I'd read all of the 13 graphic novels out so far. Then I saw the ad for the game in one of the other Marvel Comics I subscribe to, and was floored the game needs to be gotten. Period.
So on to the game...
In the past there have been some horrible superhero games...and I mean horrible. Any of you play the X-Men for the original nintendo? Ugh. I know that it's an early game but when you essentially get a graphically ramped up version of that in X-men Legends, it's kinda dissapointing. Now I now everyone raves and loves X-Men Legends, but it wasn't exactly my radioactive cup of tea. With the greater technology coming out, the capabilites of free roaming in hugely expansive enviornments is becoming a mainstay of the video game world.And something like X-men ledgends kinda lacks that, but it's something that spider-man games recently have had in spades.
The game is almost totally immersive. You can go nearly anywhere as the webhead and never really have to run into any invisible walls that take you out of the experience. There is the instances during missions where you can't stray too far, but if that didn't happen people would be flying all over the place trying to keep on track and lose the mission. Anyway, not the point. The point is that the game is an excellent piece technology wise. Aisde from free roaming capability, it retains the TreyArch webswing system from the previous spider-man game which was so popular. It is dumbed down a bit, and there's no ability for you to go and purchase new acrobatic/fighting techniques (they're given to you as you advance throughout the game)but that makes one less thing for you to worry about. The Need for hero points has been erased and you are free to accept or ignore random missions thoughout the game. My complaint about that though is that there really aren't enough random crimes in the game for you TO ingnore. But it's made up for in storyline and Stroy Missions.
So that covers the Spidey game play, now onto Venom. Venom was a good idea for the game. whereas he's not the most major player in the ultimate Spider-man Comic arc by any means, it makes for a good gameplay character. You hvae Parker who's agile but doesn't do tons of damage, and then the behemoth of the Symbiot that's a bruiser but wickedly slow moving and a huge target. The one thing that is redeeming about Venom's gameplay is the L2 (on PS2) jump. It's like putting a cat into a catapult and pulling the lever. You can jump almost as tall as most skyscrapers in the game with that thing. So when chasing electro around, it makes it really useful to catch up to him (You'll see...).
So Far: Game environment: A, Game Play: A-...Now onto the thing sthat really matter: Audio Visual entertainment.
the visuals relaly work for the game, and may be slightly difficult to get used to at first, truly round out the experience. The style seems to be taken directly from Mark Bagely's illustrations from the comic book. in fact there are certain cutscenes that if you were to hold up the comic next to the tv screen, it would look like the comic panels were animated. And that is a big plus for anyone who loves the comic. Otherwise, the graphics are Cel-Shaded as all should know, so don't expect there to be any mind boggling realistic looking Final Fantasy-esque cut scenes here, just pure comic book heaven.
And the Audio/writing...is...genius. My favorite factor of the game is the fact that all dialogue was written by Brian Michael Bendis. And not just the mian characters, but even the passerby's on the street. I can't tell you how hard I laughed when I overhear som woman saying, "have I told you that I absolutely HATE your shoes?" But as such is Bendis. He not only knows how to formulate a story and make it very enticing, but his humor is out of this world. Spidey's quips are sidesplitting, and the characterizations of the people within the game are gladly similar to the comic. Bendis has a way of writing how you and I would talk to one another (with interruptions, non-verbals, and onomatopoetics) and not have it sould informal or awkward: it can only make the story better. The games' creators certainly did themselves a favor by getting him to write it, becuase anyone else would have made it come off as trite or pedantic.
So In my eyes I can justifiably give this game 5 stars. why? Because it's frickin' amazing!
PS: If you're interested the game runs parallel to issues 30-39 in Ultimate Spider-Man the comic series, or if you'd rather Graphic Novel Vol's 6 thruogh 8. Guet em here at amazon, they're cheap!

Ultimate Spider-Man!!!! Aug 21, 2006
Please ingore my first review "Great game although there are some flaws." I didn't have my head on straight. If you ask me I think this game is the best since Maximum Carnage and the recent Spider-Man 2. I am also tired of people saying the webs are too cartoony or it's fun enough to be five stars. It way surpassed Spider-Man 2. Five out of Five stars.
