Ultimate Spider-Man is a 2005 action-adventure video game based on the comic book of the same name by Brian Michael Bendis and Mark Bagley. The game was released on most sixth generation consoles, including Game Boy Advance, GameCube, Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 2, Xbox and Nintendo DS. n Ultimate Spider-Man, the player can experience a free-roaming city environment that covers Manhattan and Queens. The player starts in story-mode where the game automatically switches between Spider-Man and Venom. Spider-Man travels by web swinging, but the player must shoot the web at an actual building to swing, much like in the previous game, Spider-Man 2. Spider-Man uses acrobatic attacks. Venom travels by using his symbiote to pull himself and by performing massive jumps. Venom attacks using his claws and tendrils. Venom can also throw cars at targets and perform much more brutal attacks, including eating people in order to gain health.
As the game progresses, Spider-Man and Venom will have certain "City Goals" to accomplish in order to continue the storyline. There are additional activities throughout the game such as finding secret tokens, landmark tokens, comic book covers, and competing in races.
Spider-Man plays similarly to his Spider-Man 2 incarnation, using his trademark web shooters as his main method of transportation and combat, while Venom has to resort to jumping for long distances. Spider-Man's attacks are also generally weaker than Venom's. Venom can also leech life from enemies and civilians. The player has to do this constantly, as Venom's health is continuously depleting, even when he is not being attacked (the suit is feeding on Eddie, so he uses other people to feed it instead). Also, if Venom tries to eat a boss, then the boss would damage him from the inside. The Game Boy Advance version of Ultimate Spider-Man is a side-scroller, divided into seven "issues," each containing three chapters. The game allows players to control Spider-Man and Venom. This version features only three boss characters aside from the two leads: Shocker, Silver Sable, and Carnage.
Unlike the console, PC, or Nintendo DS games, this version features a limited supply of Spider-Man's web fluid, it can be refilled only by picking up special markers scattered throughout levels or dropped by enemies. Additionally, players may choose to collect hidden power-ups to gain more web fluid capacity or gain new moves and abilities for both Spider-Man and Venom. The Nintendo DS version of Ultimate Spider-Man is a side-scroller with a 3D environment. The game allows players to control Spider-Man and Venom. The gameplay differs greatly between both characters:
With Spider-Man levels, most of the game happens on the top screen and the touch screen is only used for selecting special attacks and operating certain objects (moving heavy objects, opening broken elevator doors, etc.).
With Venom levels, the game switches to the touch screen, enabling players to use Venom's tentacles to throw objects or enemies, and even attack by tapping the screen. Venom on the top screen can be changed in the Options menu.
The game features a slightly modified storyline. For example, players will face Shocker in a battle that is much more difficult than its console incarnation. The game also features a multi-player mode, where players can unlock different characters and arenas for a head-to-head fight. - เกม
New critique of Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered out now! th-cam.com/video/i7xlrhrsLcc/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=ThatBoyAqua
bro on ebay the game is like 20 bucks
this spiderman is the only one i've ever completed hahahaa ultimate spiderman
You should tryout web of shadows.
Title is clickbait. Played it back when it first came out for the ps2 🤣
This is no wear near the best spiderman game
“The best Spider-Man game you've never played” you FOOL, you underestimate my Spider-Man game memories
lol Right i remember this game cause i spent 3 days tryin to take down rhino
@@frankensteinmoses Ultimate Spider-Man remake would be so cool
@@frankensteinmoses dude same, I fucking loved this game. Insanely underrated
This was the first game I actually played.
I keep my wii specifically to play my gamecube version of this game.
“You’ve never played this spider man game!”
Me: “Wrong!”
I've played it too
This is the only spiderman game I've played lmao
I played it too
i liked your comment
Khidd Y2 I suggest you remedy this issue immediately then.
Ahhhh, this was my entire childhood. I still play this game at least a few times a year
Same here! Since I was 8 or 9.
same
I'm jealous man this and hulk ultimate smash we're my favorites
@@eliteshootersathleticsesa6239 hulk. ult smash was siiiickkkkkkkkkk
I wish there was still a way for me to play this
12:08 "And it makes sense canonically because he doesn't want to kill people, so he's obviously is pulling his punches" process to show a clip of him knocking an enemy off a 8 story building
Thinking the same thing😭😭
Good 'ol spidey
sPiDeR-mAn DoEsN't KiLl
best part of that is when you toss someone off a building it shows a little skull icon that it doesn't show when you knock them out, so they're canonically dead, unlike in games like arkham
Playing as venom was a different type of stress relief
Facts
Catharsis
Definitely.....
Lobbing cars and devouring civilians was how 10 year old me handled bullying in school
Huungggeeeeerrrr....
Perhaps a remaster is appropriate
Just need to re release the original version to be honest. You can play a lot of OG Xbox games on the newer system. IDK about PS4 tho
@@stephcurrytheg.o.a.t I would want a PC release if it wasn't on PC back then
No need you can get the pc version
PERHAPS A SEQUEL IS NEEDED.
I just need a rerelease with maybe a few updated things.
The most hardcore fucking part in this whole game in my opinion was that Peter became Carnage. He looked so goddamn lit. Only sad part was I wanted the chance to play as him.
Luckily there's a mod where you can. That was my childhood dream 🤣
Yep theres a playable carnage mod and its not any shitty reskin of peter. Its actually Carnage with some of his moveset
I remember as a kid barely getting passed the doors seriously the doors in that level take rediclous button mashing skill
@@noname_noname_ what?!
"Never played" dude everyone and their Mother played this masterpiece atleast thats what i remeber when it came out.
Facts, it wasn't even a hard sell, "you get to play as venom"....sold😂
I never played it finna buy it though
This was one of my favorite games when I was younger. I can't remember why or when but I got two of them. One with Venom on the cover and I still have them to this day. Such a fun game.
Man I love this game. I remember when this game had its own commercial. I told my mom I wanted this game and this was the first game I played and my first time owning a PlayStation console (slim).
I had that Venom version with the popout sliding cover
I remember the mission when Venom was beating up Wolverine!! Such an awesome game and one of (if not) my favorite Spider-man game
I had the the venom cover too. If irc it was a special edition that came with a comic and an exclusive costumefor symbiotic spiderman. Unfortunately mine was used so it came with the comic but not the costume
That is the ultimate ultimate spider man version. This one was my favorite cuz you are actually a kid. You get put in his feet. You feel what peter feels. I love it.
I remember playing venom and trying to eat wolverine and racing the human torch as peter
Yup
Lol the nostalgia
Same
Fuck thoughs races. The hell they put me though trying to get the black suit. It was torture
Yeah unfortunately eating bosses is impossible.
The animations do hold up, the glitches you are getting and the T-posing characters on the sides are a result of playing the game in a 16:9 aspect ratio instead of the 4:3 it was designed for. That's also the reason why the panel images from the cutscenes get wider everytime they change from 3d to 2d.
It's a common problem with hd remaster ports of 6th gen games.
one of the best intro missions to a game ever. Legitimately I think this game would be known as one of the best superhero games ever if it wasnt outshined by the toby movies and the games that came along with them.
Facts this game was fucking Amazing
I was very disappointed when this game never got a sequel. I loved it
It got announced
@@brnnovember9717 when?
there is a sequel for ds
@@rimmax732 that's a prequel
Yeah there is a sequel... It’s called the comics you damn normie.
Ultimate Spider-Man was my favorite Spider-Man game, untill Spider-Man PS4 came out.
I used to play it everyday
TinTin it was the first video game I ever owned
@@ThatBoyAqua I think the first video game i played was Neighbours From Hell. But when i was little i used to play a lot of GTA VC, III, Spider-Man 2 (PC one), Ultimate Spider-Man, Bat-Man: Arkham City, Origins, Captain Claw and Minecraft. LOTS of Minecraft. Also my uncle would let me play Counter-Strike, Half-Life and Left 4 Dead on his computer :)
Me too bro
I didnt enjoy marvels spiderman as much as Ultimate spiderman. No offense but some of those other old school spiderman games had way better stories than spiderman ps4. Plus the combat was better in most of those other games.
@@TinTin3k BTW, Batman doesn't have a dash in his name, Spider-Man does
I hope eventually we get an USM game that tells the whole Peter Parker USM story from the beginning of his comic to his death. USM has always been my favorite SM comic book series and I’d love a bigger game of it
Pretty sure that was supposed to happen goblin would have played a bigger role
@High IQ his death? That comic has been out for more than a decade
@@jaylenjayden9305 that would have been awesome
@High IQ not a spoiler. The comic has been out for a long time it’s a famously known comic story and Into The Spider-Verse brought it up because that is based on the Ultimate Spider-Man comic
@High IQ bro that comic came out a while ago even non comic readers know this even Spider-Man fans which means you aren’t one because that also was how miles became Spider-Man in the comics
This was one of my favorite Spider-Main games I've played. I'm not that old, 17, but I've own and played many of the Spider-Man games and Ultimate Spider-Man on the Game Cube is definitely with in the top 5 of all the Spider-Man games I've played.
The best spiderman game people probably never played is spiderman web of shadows on DS
The wolverine part and venom part is so amazing
I don't have a problem with the purple colour on venom and Spider-Man
web of shadows had a purple “black suit” too and i thought they were both amazing
Yh its cool but It is black but it just shines purple i think
I love purple shading venom.
I think the purple/black look is great.
Agreed OP it looks fucking amazing.
This was the first Spider-Man game I ever played the nostalgia this brought me is insane
I just looked at ebay and it seems to be hovering around 40 on ps2. Gamecube is more inconsistent.
Honestly, Ultimate Spiderman had such a good sound track and the inclusion of so many iconic characters, just icing on the cake
“Doesn’t wanna kill anyone” as thug falls to his death off building
I love doing that, it's so much fun. X'DD
"I'll send you to the black suit"
"You mean PURPLE suit"
"*SILENCE!*"
"I'm just saying~"
I got it... I understood that references.
“Honestly, you’re THIS close to being thrown to the shadows”
“You mean thrown to the purples”
“SILENCE!
“I’m just saying.
”
This game holds a special place in my heart, as it was the first video game I ever played.
One of my all time favorite games. It blew me away back in the day, and as soon as I started playing as venom and immediately killed a kid before fighting wolverine, it transcended.
Lmao omg remember you could find kids and pop there balloons and eat them or something 🤣🤯
12:12 "doesnt want to kill anyone"
*Knocks guy off building*
Perfect timing indeed lmao
That what am saying
"You Never played"
5 year old me "You fool"
Me too brother
me too
I was just a five-year-old kid when I bought this game at GameStop for under $10. The fact that the price has gone up is insane to me.
It's about 20 to 30 bucks now, not too bad
It's because new physical copies of old games don't get made, which creates scarcity.
You can download it for free. I've done it. Just search on TH-cam lol
This is one of those games that was so far in the back of my head I mightve thought it wasn't actually a real game just some fever dream but its good to see someone cover this brought back alot of good memories thanks man
“The best Spider-Man game YOU have NEVER played”
Me: *laughs in Limited Edition*
It even came with a comic book that I still have to this day! Funny enough the last page of the comic has an ad for Fantastic 4 that reads “harness the power of four / awesome powers, insane co-op gameplay” - game informer
and behind that ad there’s another one but for Spider-Man 2 the video game it reads
“The legend Gets Another Honor / Greatest Hits Editions available now.”
“Dazzling sense of aerial freedom” -IGN
“Delivers the experience that fans have been begging for” - GamePro
The only other thing different was the tutorials and Stan Lee video
I lost my limited edition comic book years ago.
FPRODUCTIONS shut up
💯💯
And it was actually taken into the canon of the comic book.
Nope, it was for a time, but then the comic adapted the game's story and retcon everything.
@@sep0epifore you gotta love American comics. Its canon until someone else decides it isn't. Manga and anime is where its at.
@@josesosa3337 To be fair, Ultimate Spider-Man was written by the same guy from beginning to end, so I think he should get his say
@@TheCyberneticVortex for sure.
@@josesosa3337 Dragon Ball GT DBZ movies the two versions of Full metal Alchemist, Blue Exorcist Etc would like to speak to you
i remember this game as a child. its so, so underrated. the story, the gameplay, the suits, etc. is all so good! i have great memories of this game to this day
Just hearing the Web Swinging bgm brings back so many memories. I play it once in a while just to swing around the city since it's so relaxing.
This was probably my very first spider-man game. I had it on gamecube back then.
Same
Yup idk I think I had it on ps something idk
Rashermthebrst first one..... You had it on ps2
"The best Spider-Man game you have never played"
Hahaha yeah no. I finished this game when I was a kid and found a copy of the game recently and finished it again. Still holds up honestly and I love it dearly.
Legend ViP I need to do that 😂
Holy shit! Did you get it for anything less than $79.99.
I love the cell-shading from early 2000's, probably the reason why i didn't forget about this game, and also the comic book style (obviously) like you said
Best part of my childhood on the PS2. I have also found out that this was referenced and used in the recent major sequence of events for Venom by the Ultimate Reed Richards. Its amazing
Why doesn’t anyone ever compliment Web of Shadows? That’s my favorite spider man game, I honestly believe that Spider-Man PS4s idea of changing New York as the story progresses was taken from Web of Shadows, and the wall and air combat is still unparalleled, PS4 was close with air combat but never gave enough chances for it, only two boss fights really utilized it.
You said why. It was a good game, but it's gimmick was never fully realized. The boss fights could be described as repetitive and invasion never lived up to the build up.
There's a video by Whitelight I think that's like at least an hour long, so you can check that out
I loved web of shadows
Loved choking ppl with the symbiote
I played it for like a second and then i lost the disc after one session so i just remember playing this mysterious game that always illuded me until i saw it on youtube and checked my achievements on Xbox.
“You’ve never played” I played this game more than Spider-Man 2!
Same lol
Same
Spider-Man PS4 was my first game lol. I always hated superheroes, thought they were lame, I really didn’t like Spider-Man at the time either since the tasm films sucked. BUT after I saw Spider-Man homecoming on Netflix one year and later discovering the MCU films and maguire films I fell in love with these characters
Fun fact: Spider-Man's suit was originally black and red. The blue was for lighting on the black. Over time the suit became red and blue.
This was my favourite spiderman game. The swing was awesome because being able to climb your webs while swing made some great swinging moments.
"The best Spider-Man game you have NEVER played (unless you were a Spider-Man fan alive in the early-mid 2000's, in which case you almost definitely played it.)"
I was born in 2003 and I can confirm this.
Can confirm
Facts
Honestly......I thought it was mediocre to down right sucky.
This game was my childhood. Thank you for making this video.
Ps. The electro fight was the most part of the game. It was torture as a kid. I loved it.
Personally one of my favorite fights was the venom fight in the very beginning of the game. I think its because I remember it the most
@@gabrielleonardo5761 Mine Personally was the The fighter between Electro and Venom due to the Sheer Number of times it took me to beat . It now holds a webby place in my heart.
One of my favourite games of all time. So glad someone made thos video
I played this one on the GameCube back in the day. An absolutely amazing Spider-Man game. Perfectly captured the feel of the comics. Used to web zip towards the Statue of Liberty to go under the map.
I had this as a kid....I completely forgot about until this video. Good times.
Harry Heck brings back way to many memories.
Title: “the best Spider-Man game you never played”
Every comment: *W R O N G*
Dude, this has awakened something in me from long ago... thank you
I would like to say that I totally appreciate the detail you went into making this video. As I watched this video I started to feel like I was in high school again(saying as I played this game as a freshman). Another one that I loved was Spider-Man 64, with the suit variations... there weren't a lot of games on 64 that had voice over and narration. When I first got this game I didn't really care for it because of the art style, but it didn't take long for me to warm up to this look. An excellent display cartoony Graphics that worked well.
For the cutscenes...Yeah I think those are just some random glitches because I've been playing the game for years and I've never encountered those
I've never seen the T-posing Venom lol
I've only seen Venom or Spider-Man t pose rarely but that was only when switching characters or switching characters via changing costumes and if I was already in the air. Even then it's happened less than 10 times the 10+ years I've had the game this was on GameCube so it's likely the most stable version but still.
“The best Spider-Man game you’ve never played” Me: *screams in chasing Beetle, Green Goblin , Venom missions* 😳 you will not insult me like that 😭
The mission where you had to chase electro was a nightmare.
This game was also very popular in the modding community in early 2010's. Fans moded different skins for both Spider-Man and Venom: movie suits or weird comic costumes
I'm so glad you made this video. This one is my favourite too.
"The Spider-Man Game You Have Never Played"
Me: Do you dare question my Spider-Man game knowledge?
Fun fact. The story from the game had such a good response they adapted the story from the game into the Ultimate Spider-Man comics
Never managed to play through this whole game. But it was a pretty big part of my childhood, I used to love racing the human torch through the city, and seeing wolverine in the bar as venom. I also love the comic book style with the panels and all that. Really cool game.
Nice move to make more people to find out that this game exists 👏 Hope the community grows .
As an old fan i tell you that this game is the best Spidey game ever !!!
The fact that you can play as a venom was AWESOME...idk why ppl dont do that anymore
maybe in this new sony spide game??...
This is actually the first spider man game i loved to watch over and over
THIS VIDEO AWOKE A MEMORY DEEP DEEP DEEP IN MY CHILDHOOD BRAIN HOLY FUCK
As soon as i saw the thumbnail i remembered that i played the game. Then it starts and that fight with rhino. Those comic stills. Ive never had such a hard flash of nostalgia. Thanks man. I thought this was from web of shadows or some other spiderman game. Ultimate spider man. Definitely my favorite
the green goblin boss fight gives me nightmares to this day
But... I've played it tho...
Honestly I really like the purple look of the venom suit.
And also the difference between venoms design in the main story and the post game suit
The boss bottles were such a total grind as I recall. And the RACES!
This was my favorite game as a kid despite the fact I really sucked at the game... gonna have to check if I still have the game.
I remember playing this game on my brothers GameCube back then. It would be great if they remastered the game and put more missions and made more playable characters such as the boss battle characters.
Sounds nice, but it’s not going to happen.
Straight up my childhood favourite video game growing up. This game along with the Raimi movies are probably the main reason why I'm a major Spidey fan. Hell, this game is the reason why Venom is my personal favourite marvel villain/anti hero. When I think of venom the first thing I think of is this games version of him. His design and voice still gives me mad chills to this day . I wish so badly that they'd remaster or remake this game cause I'd yeet the hell out of my money at the developers for one. I'm actually planning on getting my hands on the Ultimate spiderman comics some day considering my love for spiderman and Venom both pretty much started with this game. Great Video Aqua! It's ashame people don't talk about this game enough imo so it's awesome to see someone give this game some credit.
I remember playing this when I was like 10 and getting stuck on fighting venom every single time, so I just quit one day and never played it again, but when someone mentions spiderman games now, this is probably the 1st one I think of
I remember being so excited when i had to play as Venom.
this is the most underrated youtube channel
This, The Wind Waker and Spider-Man 2 were the first games I owned on my GameCube in 2005. For as timeless as Spider-Man 2 is, I played this game so much more. The art style, comic book feel and ability to play as venom kept my attention for a lot longer as a young kid
This was what got me into Spider-man. I was into other heroes moreso and never cared for him. This changed that.
I played this with my dad back in the day.
I played a lot this game (still have some headache just to remember human torch races), i really expected that the newer game would be faster to web swing like it, but its good enough
Yup that was hardddd 😂
I remember playing this, I always hated whenever I had to do the QTE’s with R2, and L2. I never found out that if you were locked onto someone that it would make it harder, until the ending
lmao
I remember playing this game back on the PS2, definitely was fun
I Love how you emphasized your OPINION about the game 🙂 while, admitting to being a bit byist about it 😂 YOU can rarely ever seem to catch that nowadays.. I think we all have a bit of Nostalgia in us but.. it’s always better to be thorough than a pain 😂 also you’ve got yourself a great speaking voice there brother .. just started watching your content yesterday and my IMMEDIATE reaction was to subscribe!!💪😇 NEVER lose yourself bro!
Biased**
This was the spider man game I played as a kid, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT
Unlocking the black suit is so hard and the final race versus johnny storm is nuts
I loved this game as a kid. I tried to play this recently and it certainly was different but it’s pretty great
“Name another Spider-Man game that lets you play as Venom with as much depth as Spider-Man”
.... Spider-Man: Friend or Foe
Edit: This is just a joke y’all, please
Nah, that was trash
Edit: not the game, but the mechanics
@@Tomi-berry yeah, but it's great in my childhood memories!
We don't talk about that one.
@A . B Shah wait did you say friend or foe is better than marvel spiderman ps4 ?
"With great depth"
In that game Venom shows up, you beat him, he says that he remembers a guy with a fish bowl like helmet and that's it
This game was so awesome!! However when you failed a mission I hate how they showed everyone that you let down, it made me so mad lol, but it also made it more enjoyable when you finally won
I was getting recommend Spider-Man clips from you and was hoping you did a video on this game
The reason for the T-posing venom and some other situations like that is because the game was made for a time when televisions had a square aspect ratio and updated versions of the game that allow for widescreen tend to reveal stuff that would have otherwise been offscreen
Possibly the best Spider-Man game, I've played through it at least once per year since release, sometimes twice. At one point it was basically the only thing I played for months.
This game was so amazing, played it so many times
This brings back so much memories!
I had the DS version of this game, it was really damn difficult but fun, and the two player battle mode was cool, you could play as venom, carnage, or Peter, it was awesome
I used to play that game when I was a kid, boy those were simpler times
Love this! Other than that price
The chases in this game was hard asf!!!! But eventually you end up loving it 🔥🔥🔥
Hey bro, I play one of your videos everytime I go to bed, really help me getting some sleep. An honest thank you, keep it up!
PD: just making sure this is not taken in the bad way, I really love your videos!
15:06 got me laughing hard, underrated as hell
Ultimate Spider-Man was my first ever video game to ever touch and it will forever hold a special place in my heart
This was my favorite as a kid, and is still my favorite now. Even above the PS4 titles. This one just hits my childhood and perfectly, PERFECTLY nailed the tone of the Ultimate comics of 00s era.
I was 7-8 years old around the launch of USM and the very early Raimi era, so those were really my formative years as a Spider-man fan.
This game was the goat, i didn’t even know you could change suits when i was a kid haha 😂
I played this when I was five but the second flying torch race made me freeze and I couldn't move.
SAME!!!
It was the first race for me I think my disc was scratched
I repurchased the game and it went away
19:26 these words and the pounding will never leave my mind
It’s my favorite Spider-Man game to this day. I will never forget playing it for the first time in 2006. I was 7.
