Alright... I am a HUGE spiderman fan. I mean, REALLY huge spiderman fan and also of the new Ultimate Spiderman comics... So I just got Ultimate Spiderman for Xbox. And I have to say... Gaaaawd.... THANK YOU. I love the ability to go around the city and the new style of spidey is also great.
So... seriously... what do you guys think of it? And be honest. This thread wasn't meant to be a review... just a vent on how much I love this game so far. Hope it isn't as short as Spiderman 2 was.
Edit::: Um... later in the game... you can go to the actual city right? You know... not just Queens... but Manhatten... yeah? Anyone?
Edit upon edit::: YES. I'M THERE. W00T. FORGET MY QUESTION.
I play on renting, but I've heard alot of the Venom levels are very disappointing.
Eh.. didn't they have the cartoon called "Ultimate Spiderman" ??? I thought it kinda sucked compared to the other Spiderman cartoons/comics.
I doubt i'll even rent the game unless I hear "amazing" reports from it.
I don't blame you for not remembering. I think it there was only three or five episodes, then Digimon replaced it.
Though it took place on "counter earth". And yeah, I don't anyone knew what Spider-man was actually doing, what with there being such a short amount of time for it to get the story started.
Being a huge Spidey fan, I was looking at this game with great anticipation. I've read every single Ultimate Spider-Man comic book (except this year's Annual), so I knew where the story would pick up from. Sadly, while I was very excited at first, the game is just too ridiculously short. It ended as quickly as it began. It was short and sweet, but I can't help but wonder what it could've been.
Other than collecting items like hidden icons, landmarks and comic book covers, and repetitive rescue missions, there's absolutely nothing to do in the city once the story is over with. You can switch to Venom and wreak havoc in the city, causing a GTA-like meter to build up that causes the authority to go after you. Sadly, the comparisons with GTA end there, as this game doesn't use the potential of having a whole city to play with, like having other Marvel characters give you missions and such, or find secret Marvel goodies. Too bad, because swinging around is just so much fun.
AND the story missions themselves are mostly chasing/getting chased and boss battles, which are the best part of the game. It's worth a rental for non-Spidey fans, but that's about it. The unlockables make it worth owning for webheads, especially the PS2 Limited Edition.
Was Unlimited Spider-Man, the one that they showed on MTV? If so, I believe there were two seasons on it.
Okay, I could've sworn that there was another Spider-Man show that was released on MTV a couple years ago..that included curse words and was for "teens" I guess.
Game blows. I beat it in 5-6 hours. But hey, it's fun to swing around though... wish you could go faster...
But yeah, Venom missions are pretty dissappointing. Pretty ****ed repetitive. And yeah, the game is nowhere near as fully developed as Spiderman 2. You can't do those stylish moves in the air... nor any sweet fighting combos. All it is is just swinging, punching, kicking, and grappling. That's... pretty... much... it.
Btw, Roinkz is right. There was a series for MTV released. Forgot the name... saw it for sale at fry's though. Dont' recall any curse words but it wouldn't surprise me considering it was an MTV release.
Oh, don't forget the Spiderman and Friends thing. Featuring the firegirl person and Iceman.
I want to get it for the PS2, but should I rent it or buy it. From the sounds of it, it looks like a bad game, And I do want to try something different for once besides all of them gangs/shoot em up type of games. But I think ill have to pick up a different game.
Anyways I dont think im going to get Ultimate Spider-man because I just dont see anything great about it after what you all have said. I really dont feel like waiting for WWE Smackdown Vs Raw 2006. But maybe I can find a good game to buy.

Um... yes... mr. Boss is right.
Just rent the game, you can beat it in 5-6 hours. And swinging around the city isn't as much fun as Spiderman 2 the game was. Why? Because you can't pull crazy aerial tricks, as I said, and the combat, again as I said, is very linear.
But yeah, I'm not saying it's a bad game. It's just under-developed, hence, making a purchase of the game useless.
Oh, and here's a suggestion for a game. Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects. Looks pretty good, and considering I dislike fighting games (save a few) that "pretty good" comment shouldn't be taken lightly.

Mmmyes. I found the thought worthy of double posting. BEAT THAT.
[quote=Vampiro]You did bother to read the quotes, correct? I was just reminding you of the TV show title.
Actually, not really... :( My bad. :(
[quote=Vampiro] Don't bother. It's a pretty ****ty fighter and isn't worth anyone's time.
If you really want some good suggestions, go for X-men Legends 2 and Hulk: UD.
Oh, really? It looked good... I shall rent for a day. Actually, Hulk seems like a good idea.
The new Hulk game actually looks good. But I think I would get tired of it after a wile. But who knows if I get good feedback on it, I might just buy it.
