A great nostalia boost
The game arrived in great shape and working condition, perfectly satisfactory as a Christmas gift to a friend of mine. It's a shame the official case wasn't with it, but the wide grin from seeing their favorite ps2 spiderman back in their hands was more than enough to make this well deserved purchase.Read full review

Fine game, but you should probably rent it, first
As someone who's spent hundreds of hours across half a dozen or so different Spider-Man games, I've got a lot to say here.
"Ultimate Spider-Man" adapts from the Marvel's "Ultimate" comics continuity, allowing it to showcase character dynamics and interpretations that are different from what many Spidey fans might be used to from most other sources.
The voice acting is excellent, overflowing with the wisecracks and wit expected from a Spider-Man production.
The gameplay, however, is a bit of a mixed bag. On the upside, "Ultimate Spider-Man" grants you control over both Spider-Man and his archenemy Venom. The two characters have very appreciably different controls and styles of play, as well as having mutually exclusive minigames after the main story has concluded. For example, a new and interesting gameplay concept introduced when playing as Spider-Man is that normal enemies must be captured with webbing when they are defeated, or else they will eventually regain consciousness and resume fighting at full health. While playing as Venom, however, the character's health gauge will continually decrease over time, and the only way to replenish Venom's health is by draining the life-force out of New York's hapless civilian population. These kinds of mechanics can drive the player to put a bit more thought into their battle strategies than in other "Spider-Man" games, providing an extra layer of depth beyond most other Spidey games.
That said, a major downside is that the main story comes across as feeling very short. Of particular concern is that despite how short the story is, the missions have an increasingly sharp difficulty curve as you progress through them, with a few of the later levels or bosses being dependent on brutally intense button-mashing sequences.
"Ultimate Spider-Man" is definitely worth giving a fair shake, but I can't promise that it's for everyone. Unless you're a die-hard Spider-Fan, I'd probably sooner suggest that you first rent the game via a service like Gamefly, BEFORE you decide whether or not to purchase your own copy.Read full review

You're a G
Dude wrapped the game like 4 times in bubble wrap to make sure it stayed decent before it was wrapped in one of those bubbled envelopes.
Case is in excellent condition, disk is clean, everything looks like I just took it out of the packaging. Dude's a real one.Read full review

Great game
One of the best purchases I’ve made in quite some time. I loved this game growing up and it’s just as good now. I had some trouble getting it to work at first, but after awhile of cleaning it the games works every time first tryRead full review

Really good considering it’s used. Also especially since this game is becoming hard to find.

Great and pretty enjoyable!
It's a great product! It really brings back memories like the old days, back when I was a kid. Never had a chance competing all the open world activities yet. Planning on completing everything and unlocking the good stuff.Read full review

*THWIP THWIP!!!*
Shame about the cover art and lack of a manual, but the price is worth the game itself. Fun and unique original classic, of New York's favorite web-slinger and friendly neighbor.
