Ultimate Spider-Man

"Ultimate Spider-Man; smaller than spider-man 2 but the best spider-man yet"

Gameplay 10/10
I have Spider-man for the PS1 Spider-man the movie for NGC Spider-man 2 for the NGC and of course Ultimate Spider-man for the NGC. This spider-man plays the smoothest of all, the way you web-swing, web-zip, web-climb, it all works better than ever. There's also fewer web-swinging abilities and fewer combat moves, but the moves they didn't put in weren't useful at all. And now for fighting its much easier to learn and remember all the moves.
I seriously disliked Spider-man 2 because of the many bugs it had and the ability to earn 'hero points' and then using them to buy upgrades and moves. It was completely stupid. The fact that they made New York smaller is good. Makes it easier to find tokens! They reduced the citizens in distress massively making it much more realistic and much less annoying to do. It's basically just a better version of Spider-man 2

Sound 9/10
Great sound the sound effects are just average but the music is great. I think it only has about 5+ tunes maybe, guess it shows how small the game is but their good

Graphics 8/10
Al tho the buildings just look ugly at first, they do fit in. Besides the buildings everything looks smooth. Especially the characters look pretty awesome. The cut scenes are done real nice. Really gives this comic feel to it and they're fun to watch. Jokes are pretty good. In the end I'd say the graphics are better than any previous Spider-man game

Story 9/10
The storyline is great only it's way too short. It really is way too short. The moment you start wondering 'hmm I wonder how short this game really is' thats when you see the credits

Replay 9/10
It's pretty much replay-able depending on how much of a fan you are of playing as spider-man. It's very easy accessible and you can continue on easily. The races are pretty damn hard after normal difficulty.

Overall 9/10
This game is compact. It's like a filtered and improved version of Spider-man 2. If you have to choose between the 2, pick Ultimate Spider-Man
