Ultimate Spider-man, Fun but Brief

Ultimate Spider-man was created by Treyarch and Activision, their third Spider-man game. The game is fun but repetitive and brief. Ultimate Spider-man was a comic that launched in the 2000s. It is a reenvisioning of Spider-man for a new generation. This game is not based on a movie. The game's opening sequence takes only a couple of seconds to explain the origin of Spider-man using only the words "This is how it all began." Then, it goes straight to the chase. Peter's father, Richard Parker, and Eddie Brock Jr.'s father, both worked on the Venom Project. Despite its menacing name, it was designed to be a suit that could cure cancer. When they signed a contract with Boliver Trask, he turned it into a powerful weapon. In more recent years, Peter and Eddie meet, and Eddie shows Peter the suit. Later, Peter Parker(As Spider-man) breaks into the place where the suit is being kept and tries it on. The suit gives him enhanced strength but it starts to devour him. He manages to get it off, but it nearly costs him his life. When Eddie Brock realizes what Peter had done, he tries the suit on, and becomes the monstrosity known as Venom, which leads to an opening battle: Peter Parker against Venom. The graphics look amazingly like a comic book. The actual game play buttons have been simplified since the last Spider-man game. This game is not a bad purchase.
