Surptisingly good, considering previous Spider-man video games.
What had happened to my beloved Spidey universe?
Activision, all is forgiven. Welcome home. Ultimate Spider-man is an amazing game. Everything from the free-roam technique to the realism of the web-slinging totally makes sense. The fighting is fun, and when I began playing, I was totally blown away. Fighting Venom first level wasn't what I had had in mind. But, then, when I actually used Venom, my little brother and I were shocked out of our minds. Venom was sooooooo fun to use! His eating was cool, his tendril lashes rock, and his looks... Comic-bookish. If you know what I mean.
Some problems are that it can get sort of repetitive, and that some boss battles are extremely annoying. Particularly the chase with Beetle in the first time. I hated chasing him everywhere. The boss battles get repetitive when , say, you chase a guy through the streets. Jump, run, chase, tendril lash, web-zip, web-swing, etc.
This game also had humorous touches. I almost cried of laughter when Wolverine, had his face bashed into the floor by Venom.
Overall, this game is so much better than I had ever expected. I expected another not so good comic-book based game. Yeah, right. Buy. It. Now.
