Ultimate Spider-Man is a game that gives you the ability to swing around the skyscrapers of New York (part of it anyway) while taking on all sorts of mission types. Since this game is based on the comic book series and not the movie, it uses cel-shading graphics in order to emulate the comic book feel. This gives the game a nice look, especially in the superb cut-scenes. The city you play in really looks nice as well.

The voice-overs are fantastic, it's not tobey McGuire and i'm glad because the guy that does spider-man is excellent. The rest of the cast is great as well.

The missions consists of either beating up gangs, race against the clock, chasing enemies, boss fights and saving people before they die. The controls are OK but the game itself can be pretty frustrating and some of the missions will have you replay them over and over again until you finally luck out and beat it. At least the story is good enough to suffer the frustration, and it's a short one as well. I was able to finish this game in under 6 hrs. There's a ton of side-missions to complete but they are not worth it and become extremely repetitive. I suggest you rent this game and check it out if you are a comic book / spider-man fan.
