In 2004, Activision got some unwanted headlines with the release of Spider-Man 2. Unlike recent Spider-Man games from Activision, Ultimate Spider-Man features stylized, cel-shaded graphics designed to emulate the look and feel of artwork in contemporary Spider-Man comic books. Each character has his own style of fighting, and his own reason for doing so by playing as each in turn, players gradually come to see both sides of the story.Īs they explore the city streets, Spidey and Venom will each face their share of other heroes and villains from the expansive Marvel pantheon. In control of Venom, players will be drawn by the symbiotic alien's twisted emotions to lay waste to everything in its path.

After producing two successful movie-based games featuring the arachnologically augmented teen hero, the inventive Activision developer Treyarch spins a more comics-influenced yarn with Ultimate Spider-Man.
