    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.

    Though the game isnâ??t perfect, the addicting story line and amazing presentation are definitely welcomed. If Treyarch had kept the bigger city and more advanced web swinging techniques, Ultimate Spider-Man would have been the definitive Spider-Man game.
  3. WHAM! Gaming

    The game sure looks fantastic but is it fun to play? Without a doubt, although it could do with some fine-tuning here and there.
  4. GamePro

    Brings the super stylish world of Marvel comics to life with beautiful and enjoyable results, but ultimately spins a regrettably short Spidey story-mode experience.
  5. Games Radar

    A liberal splash of new ink and some gameplay innovation manage to revitalise this slightly over-familiar franchise. [Xbox World 360]
  6. GameZone
    74
    Bringing Peter Parker back to his roots was appealing to me at first, but the so-so gameplay and the undeservingly high price of purchase makes Ultimate Spider-Man for Xbox more of a rental.
  7. Gamestyle

    One word describes Ultimate Spider-Man: disappointment.

Nothing can compare with how fun my 8-year-old self had when playing this endlessly swinging between buildings fighting criminals that randomly appears on the street. Didn't even do the main game. But the best moment was when I found a bug that made me able to swing to the statue of liberty by perfectly timing rope-pulling the water. great game that needs to be backwards compatible to Xbox one.… Expand

    Incredibly fun. The cel-shaded animation looks awesome. Plenty of cool Spider-Man characters and locales. Playing as Venom is the most fun, Incredibly fun. The cel-shaded animation looks awesome. Plenty of cool Spider-Man characters and locales. Playing as Venom is the most fun, of course. I only have a few major disputes with this one. The voice acting for certain characters is pretty bad (namely Peter Parker). And why can street thugs block my attacks but I can't block theirs?… Expand

    Gameplay: 7/10
    When I was younger, the gameplay was newest of the century. But when I got older, more free roam games got in my head, so I have to give it a 7

    This game introduced a new graphical style where things looked like they were in a comic book. A good pat on the back to the creators

It's as if the designers have taken a checklist of the best features of Spider-Man 2 and deliberately set out to break each and every one. Most notable is web-slinging, which is now a chore rather than a joy. This game is a crime.… Expand
