I got this game as a gift for my nephew who is a big gamer and he loves it. Says it is full of action and strategy.

Seeing the screenshots, videos, and general art direction of this game got me quite excited. What I was expecting was an update to Spider-Man 2 with cel shaded graphics and new moves/secrets/characters/etc.

What it boils down to is a very short and repetitive experience with little to no replay value unless you like looking for little tokens in a huge, ugly city. If you're expecting the fine tuned controls and moves from Spider-Man 2, you'll be disappointed. You can do anything from the very start of the game, and it's very little.

I wouldn't even recommend this as a time waster, it's just an excuse for Activision to rake in some cash.

The reason I gave only three stars to my dear Spidey is simply because of the length of the game. I beat the game in about five hours, granted i did only enough side quest to progress the story (I suck at racing), but still thats to short for a story mode. However what there is to play is awesome and any fan of Spidey, comic books, or free roaming games will enjoy what there is to play. The storytelling is superb, the voice actors are spot on for the roles, and playing as Venom freakin rocks. Still in the end just not enough to warrant spending fifty bucks on, so I would recomend anyone intrested just rent it.

WAY TOO SHORT!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm a huge spiderman fan, but I'm sorry to say this game was kind of dissapointing. The graphics are great, the story is interesting (although it kind of leaves everything hanging, not everyone is going to by the next issue of USM to find out what happens), the gameplay is good (too many chase scenes though)...BUT...THE GAME LASTED 5 HOURS!!!!....that means that each hour of gameplay costs you 10 freaking dollars....it's just not worth it.

Hmmm.....

I don't know.. What happened to the fun I used to have swinging around Manhattan? Spiderman 2 was awesome for that if not anything else. Ultimate Spiderman mechanics are like a wet rag but playing as Venom was fun. I really wish I had rented this.. Take my advice and buy the new Hulk game instead. Way more to do and very, very entertaining!

I am a big spider-man fan. I went and saw the second movie at midnight. Anyways, I loved Spider-man 2 the game. And after hearing that the Ultimate Spider-man game was going to be similar in game play. I wanted it right away. But I was met with three dissapointments. 1: swinging threw new York isn't very smooth, nor fun. 2: You can't just play as Venom when ever you want. (I think you should be able to chose between using Spidey or Venom). and 3: finding objectives is hard, your radar sucks.

It is a super fun game especially swinging around! There is this super high building it kinda looks like a fork you climb to the very top and run off don't jump, run then you will skydive and at the last second you jump or use your web so I reckon it's super fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good game, lame graphics

This game was good but the graphics were pathetic. The game was a little confusing because of bad directions. It took me about 2 months to figure out one part! But overall this game was awesome.

Where'd the game go?

I was super psyched when this game was announced, and have waited anxiously to get my hands on it. I'm a huge Venom fan, and the prospect of playing both drove me wild. I wasn't disappointed either! The controls were very similar (if not identical) to spider-man 2, which made jumping in very simple. I love the shading and the format. The linear style didn't bother me at all, and I was totally into it.

I did have two complaints. First was the sheer number of chase sequences that took place. Some weren't too bad, but there were a couple that drove me nuts. That's really a personal thing, as I"m not big on time limit scenarios in games (chase is along the same vein as if you don't stay in a certain range you lose). I know any real gamer will flame that critique, and keep in mind it didn't lower my rating.

What lowered my rating was the time. I got the game Friday night, didn't play at all on Sat and still beat it on Sunday. Way too short! Plus, it seemed like there were story points missed (I won't go into them now so as not to spoil the game). After you beat it there's still the standard finding all the hidden stuff, but I find it hard to committ to this task without the knowledge that when I get bored I can advance the plot.

Overall, great game, but short pop.

Stunning treatment of the Spiderman franchise.

I was amazed at the fresh new direction Treyarch took this game into. It's really like diving into a hyper-active comic book. The missions are all fun, some are challenging but well worth the effort to beat them. Perhaps a few too many race missions, but the diversity of gameplay is top notch.

My 8 year old son loves this game to pieces.

Highly recommended to all Spidey fans!
