Ultimate Spider-Man is the first Marvel superhero game that allows you to explore all of New York freely, and even play as Venom! The game has a never-before-seen story intertwined with the comics and is full of secrets and mini-games to discover, which made me spend hours trying to find them all. It would be great to be able to play it again!
While the PC port is decent, based off the Xbox version, it lacks widescreen, controller only support D-Input and X-input is not great (QTE is f@#ked). There is a Widescreen Fix by Sergey P. AKA ThirteenAG Widescreen, but it broke the Minimap for some reason.
Also, the bugs broke immersion to say the least. Like Cutscene is broken with the patch and Venom unable to climb above 30FPS since it's capped. And it crashed on Win10+11 when it's booting up. It's F@#ked.
This game brings back so many memories, from swinging and chilling to beat Human Torch on a race and the epicness of the fights and story was really peak. I spent hours and hours just swinging and going to the top building of NY and just standing there watching... And the Venom missions were something really bold, like a f-ing force of nature at your disposal. Playing it again would be having again one of the best gaming experiences of my childhood.
I wanna play this again after playing it on my cousin's PS2 and some computer back when I was 5th grade.
Improve textures for models and extra content.
And new costumes.
Before Insomniac’s games I considered this the best Spider-Man game ever made. As a kid I loved this game on the PS2. I remember so many cool boss fights with characters like Venom, Rhino, Electro and even Wolverine. I raged a lot at the Human Torch races because of their hard difficulty but they were still fun. The street crimes were also fun, sometimes a mini boss like Shocker or Boomerang will appear and that made them more interesting to seek out. The game also captured Mark Bagley’s art style from the Ultimate Spider-Man comics and translated it incredibly well into the 3D Graphics.
Lembro de ter jogado esse jogo na minha infância, foi umas das melhores experiências. Com uma estética baleada nos quadrinhos, o jogo consegue trazer um combate bem divertido e comum mudo aberto que reprende.
>Stylized cel-shaded graphics making the game look like a comic book that went 3D and got a life of its own and based on the series set in Earth-1610.
>Play as either Spidey or Venom with both having visibly different gameplay mechanics. Save people as the web-head or eat them as the fanged blob monster.
>Explore Manhattan and Queens.
>Fight Earth-1610 iterations of classic Marvel villains.
>Fun story, fun gameplay and equally nice music.
The only minus of this game is that it was short and I never discovered how to replay the story missions...if it ever had such a feature.
Overall 10/10. A pleasant blast from the past when Marvel was something and not Disney-fied.
In 2005 I worked in Santa Monica at Activision as a play tester on the PC port of this game and got my name in the credits! We did a lot of check lists just to see if bugs popped up on the computer, but since the game was a console port, if a bug was part of the original code we didn't have to do much since it wasn't going to be fixed.

Asterix (Arcade)Asterix is a horizontal-scrolling beat'em up arcade game released in 1992 by Konami. It is based on the French comic series Asterix and Obelix. The player fights as either Asterix the Gaul or his best friend, Obelix, as they take on the 'might' of the oppressive Roman Empire. Asterix includes a variety of humorous fighting moves, which are demonstrated in the game's attract mode. The artwork and feel of Asterix remains true to its French source material, and the game's many humorous touches (such as the way defeated Legionnaires crawl away) will be instantly familiar to fans of the comic-book and cartoon series. Bonus levels - such as the chariot race that awaits at the end of the first level - introduce different gameplay elements to provide a break from the fighting.Action Historical Comedy
