    Pluses: good graphics, very easy control, big open world, cool music, different bosses and foes, many secrets and easter eggs, interesting plot.
    Minuses: game is shot, stupid system of getting missions.

    This game is amazing, and was easily one of my favorite games from my childhood. The novel style graphics are fantastic and make you feel as though you are playing a comic book, which is awesome for me. I have also played Web of Shadows and Shattered Dimensions (Which are also amazing), but this game has a special place in my heart.

    One of the worst Spider Man games i ever played. Graphics are ok, but i don't like novel graphic on this game. It's like a story for kids. Controls are bad too.

    I thought it was better.. Yes, cool mechanics/flying, nice graphics, cool plot and comic book covers, but.. STORY LEVELS ARE THE SAME, FIGHT WITH BOSS OR CHASE, FIGHT WITH BOSS OR CHASE, ALSO TO UNLOCK THEM - YOU HAVE TO DO STUPID SIDE QUESTS, Definitely not the best SPIDER man game!

    Thank God that they got it right this time. Spider-Man 2 made me want to blow chunks, but this game is pure gold. Thank you Activision!

    The PC version is exceptional due to the option to choose higher resolutions and the choice of playing with your average keyboard/mouse configuration (mediocre) and the gamepad (great). All the other console versions suck a major @$$, screw them unless you don't own a PC.

    I hate video games, tried the PS2, bought over a dozen games, gave it all away... Installed Utimate Spider-Man on my company PC, with the Logitech Dual Action controller....and haven't been able to stop playing! This video game really not only brings you back into the comic book, it brings you to NewYork and turns you into the hero you admired growing-up as a small boy.

If you haven't played this game yet - go out buy it and become the Ultimate Spider-Man!!!! A total 10 out of 10, this is more than just a video game it's an experience of a lifetime..... I've experienced the thrills of Skydiving, but never before have I gotten to fly through an entire city, get ready to run, jump, swing and let go of all fears.… Expand

    Amazing game, all too short. A credit to cell shade graphics.

    Spider-Man fans will generally enjoy this very exciting game. It may take a while to complete (including city events, races, combat tours and tokens), and you may need a guide to unlock all costumes, but still, the satisfaction at the end is unparalleled.

    The second best Spiderman game right behind Web of Shadows. Despite most people liking the cartoonish graphics it was not so appealing to me I dont know why.

    This game is one of the best super hero games ever made! In my personal opinion, I still prefer Spider-Man 2 the most, but other than that you should definitely give this one a try!

    La version de PC de este gran titulo me decepciono un poco tiene muchos bajones de FPS en ciertos lugares, el juego esta muy bueno yo lo habia completado en PS2 hace mucho tiempo alrededor del 2007 el titulo apartando lo tecnico es uno de los mejores juegos de Spiderman debido a su forma de comics que nos va relatando la historia lo cual lo hace interesante no recuerdo    Duracion: 12 hrs

    La version de PC de este gran titulo me decepciono un poco tiene muchos bajones de FPS en ciertos lugares, el juego esta muy bueno yo lo habia completado en PS2 hace mucho tiempo alrededor del 2007 el titulo apartando lo tecnico es uno de los mejores juegos de Spiderman debido a su forma de comics que nos va relatando la historia lo cual lo hace interesante no recuerdo su duracion pero me gusto bastante no es muy largo ni corto tiene alrededor de 19 capitulos y cada uno es muy divertido nosotros manejamos a Spiderman en una ciudad totalmente libre pero lo bueno es que tambien controlamos a Venom el cual debera escapar de un grupo de cazadores que trabajan para Bolivar Trask que necesita el symbionte, como Spiderman nosotros debemos ir derrotando villanos y salvando a las personas de criminales e ayudar a la policia local mientras que Venom debera ir cazando personas para ir alimentandose y enfrentar algunos villanos y al propio escuadron de soldados especiales que envia Trask la banda sonora es espectacular por eso suma puntos positivo, bugs no he visto solo alguno grafico de las cinematicas pero nada que impida jugar. en resumen: Lo recomiendo ya que es uno de los mejores juegos de Spiderman clasico puede correr en qualquier PC pero esta un poco mal optimizado pero lo lleva igual.

    Ventajas y positivo
    Buenos graficos para su epoca y actualidad
    Jugabilidad decente y comoda
    Historia interesante
    Banda sonora buena.
    Se puede controlar 2 personajes (Venom y Spiderman)

    Puntos negativos

    Sistema de misiones un poco tosco
    Optimizacion bastante fea pero no tan mal.
    No ofrece muchos detalles la ciudad hubiera estado bueno algunas misiones secundarias o un modo historia con Venom    … Expand

    Очень приятный полет на паутине, и управления паучком. Достаточно сложные и интересные боссы, за исключением финальной. Крайне брутальный Веном и не устаревающая стилизованное 3D. К большим минусам это продолжительность. Если знать как проходить, то это займет 3 часа.Очень приятный полет на паутине, и управления паучком.

    Nice comic book presentation.

    Swing mechanics don't work correctly and melee fighting can be annoying.

    Open world is a little bit empty.

    Checkpoint system is crap. It is not fun doing the same parts until you do everything right.

    Frustrating and you don't lose anything if you don't play.

    Лучшая игра про человека-паука, не считая 18-го года (В паука на ps2 по второму фильму не играл). Очень приятные полёты, интересные боссы. В минусах продолжительность, при желании можно пробежаться за 2,5 часа.

    It's one of my childhood games. Comic book style and gameplay was very entertaining. I would finish the game every summer. I recommend it to Spider-Man lovers.

    the graphics are very nice, the mechanics are good, there is no story, you are flying around for no reason.

    A vibrant, eye-popping superhero disc that has more style, wit and compelling gameplay in its first 10 minutes than most games have in their entirety.

    The blockbuster production values make this one of the best comic book to videogame adaptations ever made. The control is equally as impressive which may not be apparent initially as I mentioned. The only things holding this game back from absolute greatness are basically the same flaws that held SM2 back from greatness: repetitive random missions, relentless chase missions, relatively short story mode and the lack of imagination in terms of game structure.
