Spider-Man 2 for kidz!

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.

Great game!

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.

Surprisingly fun

I tend to enjoy gritty games with adult themes. I'm almost ashamed to admit that I find Ultimate Spiderman addictive. Its just a simple, fun game, with excellent visual and gameplay design. Its not the toughest game in the world, but if you're a fan of comicbooks in general, and Spiderman in particular, you can't help but have fun playing it. The web slinging mechanics are phenomenl (if you've ever dreamed of being spiderman), and the voice acting is entertaining, if a bit cheesy. Overall, its a great game to pick up and play for an hour at a time.

Awesome in the beginning, kinda repititive in the end...........

I thought the controls were good, and it was great to flip around in the beginning! But after awhile, Nyc just got too big for me to know where mary janes house was and everything. The races got kinda easy. there is alot of chase scenes.

Much More Fun Than The Original Spidey Games

I got this game for Christmas and I think it is much better than the original "Spider Man" games that are based on the movies.I like how they let you be not only Spider Man,but Venom also.And another thing is,the booklet that comes with it is much more easy to understand.I definately reccomend this game for anyone who likes Spider Man,Action,or Good Super Hero Games!

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!

Disapointing

Ultimate Spider-Man started out alright. It was more fun to play Venom than Spider-Man. The problem is that the game because redundent. There are two types of mission aside from the storyline for Spider-man. You have to finish so many mission to advance to the next story plot -either fight a villain or play Venom-. But the missions are all the same you fight some minor criminals that you can take out with three hits without any real damage; even if they're armed. The other mission is a race, which can be fun. But fighting the main becomes a problem. Not only are there annoy races to catch up to a villain after he runs -and you can't attack him during the chase-. But the way for defeating them becomes the same. You jump around waiting for the point that you can attack for a few hits, jump back, continue jumping around avoiding attacks, hit them again, jump around some more, etc. etc. It got to the point that fightening the Beetle as Venom was simply frustrating and I lost interest.
I would suggest renting this game if anything, but don't spend the money to buy it unless you actually like it.

THE CONTROLS ARE HIDEOUS!! JUST RENT IT!!!

I am huge Spiderfan and am willing to forgive almost anything a game does wrong as long as it is fun. Unfortunately the controls in this game are god awful. I was able to beat the game and knock out a good chunk of the unlockables in two sittings and all the while I fumbled about like a complete idiot thanks to the lousy controls. Plus every single boss battle and story mission is precipitated by or consists of a pointless and frustrating chase. The game looks great and truly does feel like a comic book which is cool but Spider Man 2 is still a much better game. Not worth owning even for die hards.
