Superhero games, like superhero movies, are steadily starting to improve. Generally, it helps to base a game more within a hero’s given comic-book universe, as opposed to directly upon any of the aforementioned films. Compare the recent Incredible Hulk and X-Men games based within the comic universe with the Fantastic Four and Batman games based on films; the difference ought to be clear. One franchise that’s been stuck somewhere in the middle over its last couple of installments is the Spider-Man series. The first two games were based directly on the megapopular films, and while neither could be called bad, they weren’t anything to write home about. Ultimate Spider-Man is developer Treyarch’s third attempt to make a quality Spidey game, by way of developer Beenox, which has ported the console game to the PC. Based on the eponymous comic-book series, Ultimate Spider-Man is certainly an improvement, adding a great sense of comic-book style to the package and getting a whole host of familiar Marvel characters into the mix. Unfortunately, it also suffers from some of the familiarly flawed gameplay of its predecessors, and it’s a disappointingly short ride.

Spider-Man, Spider-Man, does whatever a spider can!
The Ultimate Spider-Man comic series is a reenvisioning of the early days of Spider-Man lore. Here, Peter Parker is a scrawny 15-year-old kid, granted his powers via the infamous radioactive spider on a class field trip. The plot of the Ultimate Spider-Man game doesn’t spend much time getting you up to speed with this, instead taking just a brief minute or two to quickly show Parker’s transformation into the titular hero, as well as a bit of backstory about how he and his childhood friend, Eddie Brock, stumble upon a mysterious bioengineered suit that both their fathers had apparently been working on before their deaths. As any comic aficionado might assume, this is the suit that turns Brock into the gruesome, tongue-lashing beast known as Venom, and that’s right where things pick up. The plot itself is something of a disjointed affair; it’s really more of an excuse to squeeze as many relevant Marvel characters as possible into the package. But it does a good job of achieving this goal by including plenty of friendly faces such as Wolverine and the Human Torch, as well as modern versions of big-time villains such as Carnage, Electro, Green Goblin, and, of course, Venom himself.
