Ultimate Spider-Man (Feature)

Jul 30, 2007

Spider-Man 2 brought the Grand Theft Auto-style cityscape and open-ended missions to Spidey's gaming career, but it was 2005's Ultimate Spider-Man that finally married the open-ended city with a comic book-style presentation. The game emits a constant sense of fun, from the bright colors to the thick black lines etched over everything on the horizon. Most of Manhattan Island has been recreated, including the Empire State Building and neighboring Queens. Spidey's sticky powers let you explore ...

Comic games that got it right (Feature)

Jul 30, 2007

Comic books are one of the hottest licenses out there right now. All you have to do is slap Spider-Man on a bag of socks and boom! It's out the door. The same goes with games based on comics - no matter their quality, they tend to sell like crazy. With so many lackluster heroes running around, it's hard to pinpoint which games are worth playing and which need to hang up the spandex. Well, that's precisely why we've hand-picked the best, most authentic comic book games of all time. The five ...

Ultimate Spider-Man (Review)

Jun 22, 2007

It's been just over a year since Spider-Man 2 left us jaw-dropped at the impressive recreation of New York, popping superhero fisticuffs and ropey camera work, but as the wall-crawler swings back into view, he feels altogether mintier and freshly scrubbed-up. The Ultimate universe is Marvel's re-imagining of its classic heroes, and just like the comics, the game manages to revitalize familiar characters and locations brilliantly. A lot of videogames look nice, of course, but Ultimate ...

Dec 1, 2005

Activision has signed the rights to produce Spider-Man games until the End of the World. Or, more specifically, 2017. "This agreement allows Activision to continue bringing its own magic and vision to this unique, evergreen property," said CEO Mike Griffith, "and to build on the success that the company has already achieved with the Spider-Man movies." Griffith's statement seems to hint at there being games beyond movie-specific releases planned, so fans may not have to wait for another ...

Ultimate Spider-Man (Review)

Nov 10, 2005

There's nothing like a good makeover. Just ask anyone who's been on a Living TV reality show.The formula is very simple: take a bird with a face like a bust knacker, spend a stack of cash on scrubbing her up, and you've got yourself a tasty little trophy wife. All of which casual sexism leads us to the latest outing for Marvel's web-slinger.Activision is a publisher that knows how to treat its superhero licences respectfully.It might only be just over a year since Spider-Man 2 left us ...

The latest selection of images released by Activision for their upcoming comic adaptation, Ultimate Spider-Man, has got us tingling with anticipation - the game looks absolutely gorgeous. The shots show off the fantastic cel-shaded style - a look that is a drastic departure from previous Spider-Man games and one that suits the Marvel comics arachnid do-gooder perfectly. For a better look at Ultimate Spider-Man's glorious, comic influenced aesthetic, check out this and start climbing the ...

Ultimate Spider-Man swings into view (News)

May 18, 2005

Just look at those screenshots. OK, there are only two of them but, let's face it, at first glance, Ultimate Spider-Man looks lush. Yes, we're suckers for cel-shaded games but, even if you're not, Ultimate still sounds an attractive proposition. Players are given the opportunity to play as both Spider-Man and a super-villain across expanded, free-roaming environments, including the addition of Queens, New York. We're also promised diverse gameplay and improved combat systems (there are two ...
