As far as structure is concerned, Ultimate Spider-Man splits between various story-driven missions detailing the exploits of the Ultimate Universe version of Spider-Man and Venom (for more on that, just visit IGN Comics). You play as both characters, only one at a time, in an intricately woven tale written by famed comic scribe Brian Michael Bendis. Story missions are tied by freeform sections where you're free to swing about Manhattan battling evildoers at will. Whenever a citizen is in distress, a beacon will appear on a 3D map found on the lower right-hand of the screen.

Of course, you're not required to do anything about it if you don't want to. If you just want to swing from skyscraper to skyscraper all day you can do that too. Manhattan won't be as large as it was in Spider-Man 2, but it there'll be more stuff to experience, such as famous Marvel landmarks like the Baxter Building and Empire State University. In a sense, Ultimate Spider-Man plays like Spider-Man 2, minus the fat. Plus, the storyline takes you into Queens this time around, so there's even more to explore.

I love how this game looks.

 

[Deku]

Good art direction, but jaggies hurt my eyes.

 

[Baconäger]

I want to see what it looks like on X360.

 

[akascream]

This franchise looks so much better this time around.

but it there'll be more stuff to experience, such as famous Marvel landmarks like the Baxter Building

hmm, since Activision also has the FF license I wonder if there'll be a cameo from the FF?

 

[Sapiens]

I think it still looks rough. They still have time to clean it up.

Let's hope they make it look more colourful, while at the same time making the characters and the backgrounds mesh.


Shows potential, but it looks too dark and rough at the moment.

I love how this game looks.

Funny, I was just going to say that I normally like cel-shading, but this looks terrible.

 

[Yossarian]

Bendis fanboy here, so I am definitely looking forward to this game.

 

[Jacobi]

I'm hyped for it. Looks really like Ultimate Spider-Man.

 

[Ghost]

Im sure with Bendis writing we'll get a decent story, i am a bit concerned though that the freeform part of the game doesnt sound much different to Spider-Man 2, just more saving random pedestrians. It sounds like the RPG element is gone aswell (it says more moves just get unlocked as you progress through the game)

 

[TheJollyCorner]

this game makes me want to vomit 9 times into my pajamas.

Translate that as you will.

I like it taking a more comic-book feel, but this just looks like Spiderman 2 but cel-shaded.

I expect there'll be even more comic book villains and plots etc, but if the gameplay hasn't changed much I'd have a hard time buying this.

When is the release date and for multi platform i am guessing?
