  Roger's Review of Ultimate Spiderman
  
  I enjoy Ultimate Spiderman and so do my nephews, the reason why I purchased this particular game. Most of the Spiderman games are based on the movies, but I'm a comic book fan also, and its nice to see a Spiderman game based on a comic series. Playing as Venom throughout the game is a bonus, allowing the player to play the evil side for once, and Venom is so much fun to play. I give Ultimate Spiderman for the Gamecube a 10 out of 10.

  AWESOME GAME!!!!
  
  Okay, bottom line, THIS GAME IS AWESOME!!!! I mean the only other Spider-Man game I've played is "Spider-Man: The Movie", and I had high expectations for this game, what with all the good reviews I read. Boy, was I not disappointed! This game is better than "Spider-Man: The Movie" for a number of reasons.One,the most obvious reason, is that you can play as Venom! This part of the game I love, because you can pick up and throw cars, and because Venom is freakin' AWESOME!! Two, the combat system. Instead of being some nutty kid that can be pushed around by thugs, you actually feel like Spider-Man. You can now dispatch a gang more easily and more quickly. You can also tie thugs to street lamps (did I mention you can go on the ground?) and I think it looks totally HILARIOUS! Plus, the thugs don't all look exactly the same, and they have more weapons. Instead of just pistols and sub-machine guns, they have pistols, sub-machine guns, REAL machine guns, rifles, kinves, and I once met a guy with a flamethrower (true story!) Three, your spider-sense. In "Spider-Man: The Movie", you only use your spider-sense for four things: a charging forklift, a blast from the Shocker, an approaching secuity guard, and a blast from the Supermech's cannon. In "Ultimate Spider-Man", your spider-sense goes off just to warn you that a thug is about to shoot a gun at you! (Which, means that it goes off for a hundred other reasons.) Four, the free roam. You can do story missions, once you've unlocked them, or you can just swing around the city, fighting muggers, saving lives, finding tokens, and completeing combat tours and trick races. Five, you don't have a web meter, which means you can dispatch a whole gang, only with web attacks, and not worry about a thing. Overall, I would say buy it right now if you're a Spider-Man fan!

  Way Better Than Spider-Man 3
  
  I am a BIG Spider-Man fan-I'm big on SM Merchandise, including videogames. Any VG with Spider-Man's name in it, I HAVE to have!When Spider-Man 3 first came out, I was really anticipating the game and I heard it had really good graphics. When I first played it, it was sort of a disappointment. Yeah, the graphics were good, but it SUCKED bad. I gave the crappy game away. When I saw Ultimate Spider-Man, I expected less from it, since it was a Gamecube game. But it is AWESOME! If you have a Gamecube, a Wii, an XBox, or whatever, you have to have it in your collection!!! The graphics are better than I expected, and I love web-slinging around an EXTREMELY realistic Queens and Manhattan as Spider-Man. I want to play this game EVERY DAMN DAY. The comic book storyline is very interesting, too, because I don't know much about the comics. I have all the movies, so Spider-Man 3 was a bore compared to this. GET IT!!!

  Ultimate Flop
  
  If you've been asleep the last ten years of gaming, this one will be exciting ... If you've played any modern games, this one is a horrible step back, nothing about this game is even enjoyable, honestly, and I only paid like [...] bucks for it, lol. Buy a cheeseburger instead.

  Ultimate Spider-man, Fun but Brief
  
  Ultimate Spider-man was created by Treyarch and Activision, their third Spider-man game. The game is fun but repetitive and brief. Ultimate Spider-man was a comic that launched in the 2000s. It is a reenvisioning of Spider-man for a new generation. This game is not based on a movie. The game's opening sequence takes only a couple of seconds to explain the origin of Spider-man using only the words "This is how it all began." Then, it goes straight to the chase. Peter's father, Richard Parker, and Eddie Brock Jr.'s father, both worked on the Venom Project. Despite its menacing name, it was designed to be a suit that could cure cancer. When they signed a contract with Boliver Trask, he turned it into a powerful weapon. In more recent years, Peter and Eddie meet, and Eddie shows Peter the suit. Later, Peter Parker(As Spider-man) breaks into the place where the suit is being kept and tries it on. The suit gives him enhanced strength but it starts to devour him. He manages to get it off, but it nearly costs him his life. When Eddie Brock realizes what Peter had done, he tries the suit on, and becomes the monstrosity known as Venom, which leads to an opening battle: Peter Parker against Venom. The graphics look amazingly like a comic book. The actual game play buttons have been simplified since the last Spider-man game. This game is not a bad purchase.
