Fine game, but you should probably rent it, first
0 of 2 found this helpful 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.
