Quite fun...4.5 starsSep 26, 2005
By Geoff McNulty
"Rock Squad"
I'll be the first to admit it, I'm not a video game guy. I buy one or two games per year, and the last one I bought was Spider-Man 2, which I played like crazy. I loved that game. When I heard about Ultimate Spider-Man, and that it was going to have the same structure as SM2, I knew that it would be my gaming purchase of the season.
I definitely did not waste my money. If you enjoyed Spider-Man 2, chances are you're going to enjoy this game as well.
So far, I am very happy with this game. It will give me many hours of enjoyment. Still, there are elements of the game that could have been improved. The radar/map that was present in SM2 is still intact, but is much harder to see in this incarnation. Swinging through trees is disorientating as well. These are minor gripes, and once I got used to them, the game is just as good as SM2. Currently I am stuck trying to chase Electro as Venom, a task that is proving much harder than any of the Black Cat chases in the previous game.

This game is awesome!!!Dec 14, 2005
Because I am a spiderman fan, I immediately had to get this game. The graphics, levels and characters were great. I loved the sound effects. Anyone who likes spiderman should buy it.

By Awesome-O Ultimate Spider-Man is a fun waste of almost 5 hours of button mashing and web swinging.You play as spider-man and the villan "Venom". Playing as Venom is a fun add-on to the game for sure. Possibly a Must have for intense Spider-Man fans.
ultimate spider man,May 12, 2010
I like this game. may be half of it,well see there's parts of the game where you at least get to be some guy cooler then weak old spider looser.Like for example:Venom,he can jump 50 feet in the air by pressing one button on the controller.unlike spider looser who can't even jump 5 inches.anyway the sad part about this game is you have to be spider looser and travel 3 miles and then you get to the cool level,and the cool guy.anyway if your reading this review at this point,I would recommend this game if you hate spider looser and love the criminals.
Great as Spiderman, but needs some work as a game.May 11, 2010
By Jarod C. Gagnon After several incarnations of Spiderman games based on the movies, we've finally been given a game based on the comics. The truth is, if you like Spiderman and enjoy the comics for being everything the movies aren't, then this is the game for you. The art is great and the cell shaded style fits the comic book theme. The dialogue is everything it should be: witty, well written, true to Spider-form, and not voiced by Tobey Maguire. The webslinging is beautiful to watch and several game mechanics are well formed including the "level-up" mechanism, the Spider-sense system, and-of course-the webslinging.
One problem from a gaming standpoint is that the game is short. The designers try to lengthen the game by making you complete side missions (races, combat tours, etc.). But this doesn't lengthen the game as much as it just slows you down a little. The only thing keeping the races from being monotonous is the enjoyment of watching the wall-crawler's aerial grace.
All in all, if you're a spidey fan, this game is a must have. Between the concept art, fun writing, and classic characters the enjoyment is worth it, even if the story is short. If you've never read Spiderman and are a pure gamer, then this might not be for you.
