It might not be as packed with content as some of the other games, but its art style has allowed it to age gracefully. Love the story and gameplay. My favourite Spiderman game.
Man I’ve been playing this game on the GameCube since I was like 6 years old. It’s still just as fun as it was back then and I’m thankful that I still have it. Playing as venom always made me feel like a beast as a kid
My grandma got me this for Christmas when It came out. I was maybe 13. Best Christmas ever. I'm 32 now and I still remember how excited I was. I remember it being sooooo short though.
This game is how I’d want an invincible video game adaptation to be handled. Not only do you play as mark Grayson but you’ll have to play either as some villains or Omni-man maybe do a mission as omniman killing and then play the aftermath and figure out the mystery as invincible
Matty, I kid you not I was thinking about this game 2 days ago, and watched a 10 minute gameplay clip for the nostalgia, and now you post this. I fricking loved this game as a kid, and now it comes up twice in one week. What the heck 😮
11:00 - city goals are good and somewhat real because spider man after big events in his life always going back to be friendly neighbourhood spider man and do city events waiting for new big events. Being spider man is not only beating big bad guys but it's a symbol of helping people
I recently started to reread the Ultimate Spider-Man comic, and seeing those cutscenes was so cool because they look like they’re ripped straight from the comics
I remember not loving the movie tie in games when I was younger. But I loved Ultimate Spider-Man, more fun graphics, a slightly bit more mature, and let you play as Venom. Such a huge selling point to be able to play venom in free roam after you beat the game
This is probably my favorite Spider-Man game. I love it so much. Couple of highlights from me are how Rhino's fight isn't just the usual mindless "jump out of the way to make him smash against the wall" crap and when playing as Venom you literally get to kill the annoying kid with the balloon from Spider-Man 2. Hilarious.
A remake of this game would be sick. I know the art style is timeless but imagine if it was upressed, 60fps and a greater draw distance, a proper more modern map system. This game would slap.
Man, I loved playing the Ultimate Spider-Man Video Game with my PS2 because it brings so many memories. Now, I want to read the Ultimate Spider-Man comics. I still listen to the OST from the game to this very day.
I found this game at a thrift store in box with the manual a few years back. Sadly my PS2 struggles to play disc anymore, so I have not had the opportunity to play it yet. But one day, one day I will.
About 3 mins into the vid, as ur talking I always wondered why Ultimate Spider-Man was the forgotten one (or at least not talked about as often) among the several Spidey games out there. Especially since I think the ps4 entries imo take more cues from Ultimate Spider-Man than I think ppl realize or would care to admit. I don’t think it’s a perfect game, but this game needs it’s flowers.
Would be awesome if they had an unlockable cell shading filter for everything on screen, in Spider-Man 2. I also thought DLC or a spin off based on each world of Shattered Dimensions could be good.
why would they even touch alternative reality though. they haven’t touched on anything eluding they would plus they now have created their own universe they’re building. good dream tho ngl
Just replayed this masterpiece myself and finally got the Black Suit. It took me a week to get it mainly because of johnny storm and my schedule but it feels so good to 100% this childhood classic.
I legit searched “Ultimate Spider-Man Game” earlier today and found this video. Had no clue it was uploaded so recently. When you said you were gonna talk about X-men legends I went SEARCHING
This was the first game my mom took away from me as a kid. I was 3 or 4 screaming and bawling my eyes out because I couldn’t win the first race against the Human Torch lmao
Spider-Man 2 is literally a comic book game lol. Go read what Insomniac said, they read different variations of venom to get there story for him. It’s gonna be the best comic book Spider-Man game ever
I just passed this game last week and it's still so much damn fun. For me, the best part of the game is being able to play as Venom and do some brutal things like eating a little kid lol, snapping enemies backs, consuming humans for health and more. Plus the boss battles while playing as Venom was awesome, Wolverine, Carnage, electro, Silver Sable and more. Of course, playing as Spider-Man is fun as well, the web swinging isn't the best but being able to climb ur web while swinging makes it so fun to keep ur momentum going, especially during races. I really love this game, the art style, the story, the bosses, it's a childhood classic. 2nd best Spider-Man game and I hope we see some things from here implemented in Spider-Man 2 (2023).
i loved this game as a kid my dad had an xbox when i was younger and i would always play this game along with medal of honor rising sun and call of duty 2 big red one this brings back some good memories
This game still holds up I recently completed it, getting all the costumes and tokens was so much fun. This was when Spider-Man was at his best. No stupid screw ball challenges, no hold square and move left analog stick to do air tricks. This game was so much fun
I'd wished it would get a release on an online store somewhere like Steam or Epicgames or something, I'm tired of having to hunt for this game and having to play it on an emulator
Honestly I don't get the over hype of this game, it's original due to it's comical graphics which is a positive note on this game, not to mention the genius web swinging mechanics but the boss fights are so unbelievably bad it's sad. the beetle boss fight is on the quick and easy side but the green goblin, Carnage and Venom final boss fight are so unenjoyable. If this game were to be remastered I hope they make the fights more enjoyable
Thank you! I just got done playing it and it’s definitely not the worst game but not what I thought it was when I was a kid lol it’s still a cool game but a lot of flaws are being overlooked imo
Bro one thing you learn is to respond to any event as it spawns don't wait till you need it. You only need to do a set amount to complete the game and can definitely grind them out in the beginning
I absolutely love the Ultimate Spider-Man game cube version so I just picked this up for 20$ at my local shop.. I’m actually more excited to play this than any new game out right now
It's a simple game, but still really fun. And honestly. with it having a climb button, the traversal is more complex and fun than insomniac's spiderman's traversal. I still don't know why that game automates so many things by default
I remember I got this game before my 6th grade exams and I was so excited to play this game when they were over. For the whole month I was just looking at the box art of this game and imagining stuff about how cool it would be. And cool it was. I will still say I prefer Spider Man 2 more but this game is very awesome as well.
Honestly not a bad idea. We also considered doing a movie like compilation of all of them once I'm done just so it's all in one place for those who don't want to hunt around.
zipping around might have more detail/mechanics in Ps5 spiderman but I had more fun swinging through nyc in ultimate spiderman (edit: maybe it was the speed of going through the city)
Yo fr I have NO idea why there's so much hate for the ASM2 game. I played it before SMPC came out and liked it quite a bit, I was even happy when I saw that they borrowed some of the stealth elements from that game, although I'm glad they made it a little easier on the player lol
My favorite comic book game adaptation ever 🥹! The way it mixed all of Marvel soo seamlessly while also being an amazing Spider-Man adventure 🥰 I wish the Batman games felt bigger like ULTIMATE does 🤯
2:00 the cover art you loved was drawn by Mark Bagely, the USM artist at the time. However, it was not drawn for the game. That pic of “Spidey” was culled from an issue of USM. An issue where a bank robber dresses like Spider-Man and goes on a spree. For some reason, they went with a panel of the impostor instead of the actual Spider-Man! So, yeah, that guy on the cover is a criminal. The weirdest part is Bagely did a ton of art for this game. His art style is even imitated in the graphics. How? How did they not get him to do a new exclusive cover?
Some games were just better on gamecube for some reason. This was one of them. I feel the same way about time splitters and xiii. The gamecube was a special experience.
Sorry idgaf about amazing spider man, web of shadows, spiderman 2. Hands down this was in my opinion the best and my favorite spider man. I actually felt like spider man and its one of the only games even in 2024 that took a comic art style applied it to the game correctly and doesnt even look bad by todays standards. The shit was made in early 2000s and was better graphically then just cause 4 and cyberpunk
I'm playing through this game right now. I haven't played it since I was a kid. It's always been one of my favorite Spider-Man games. However, I always disliked having to complete side objectives just to be able to play through the main story.
This spiderman did have web tricks and spins you just have to let him do it instead of jumping out of the web swing and jumping out of web swing is also a web trick lick you could do a spin and a hump
This is single handedly the best Spider-Man Game. You should do Enter the Matrix at some point. Currently running through it on the gamecube and having a blast!
As a kid I had trouble with the electro boss fight. Had trouble luring him to the hydrants. Then I realized that throwing cars had the same effect on him.
I'd kill to see this game get remastered
It hold up still
Seriously though!
Emulation, bro.
How Abt my ex?
agreed but if you have it on pc, there are a few remastered mods you can get
It might not be as packed with content as some of the other games, but its art style has allowed it to age gracefully. Love the story and gameplay. My favourite Spiderman game.
Got this, Hulk: Ultimate Destruction and Tony Hawk's American Wasteland for my birthday when I was younger, it was the best freaking year of my life.
Crazy because I got the Hulk and this one but I got Budokai Tenkaichi 2 instead, memories go crazy
Man I’ve been playing this game on the GameCube since I was like 6 years old. It’s still just as fun as it was back then and I’m thankful that I still have it. Playing as venom always made me feel like a beast as a kid
Venom? I'm going to put my disc only for Xbox to try and play as venom lol
Much love

I remember being so enthralled by the art style as a kid, too bad I never got to play it
It's never too late.
Very true, never too late to start. Like in my case I was able to get a working pc version of the game on eBay for just $20 which was a steal!
@@CousinDiego What's the point of paying when your money is not going towards the original creators? I just pirated a copy from the internet.
@@CousinDiegoThis game is 15+ years old at this point. It’s basically public property.
if u got a ps2 emulator like pcsx2 and find the bios files (either a PC or android device) and the iso file of the actual game....there ya go 🤷♂️
There’s a reshade on PC for this game that is pretty much a remaster. It’s fantastic

The way they did the art style in Shattered Dimensions is even better, it would look amazing on modern hardware
@shoot646 even better...? Not even close bud hahah 😂
I've been playing this and Hulk UD lately. So good.
This is still my favorite spidey game ant that is mostly because of the art style, it’s allowed it to age gracefully

Just played this recently as well such a classic. Definitely needs a remaster
Great throwback I love this game so much,
The Art style and having Bruce Campbell narrate are the 2 stand outs to me
Bruce Campbell isn’t in this game… is he?

Would be awesome if they had an unlockable cell shading filter for everything on screen, in Spider-Man 2. I also thought DLC or a spin off based on each world of Shattered Dimensions could be good.
Ive wanted Insomniac to make a full Spiderman 2099 game since spidey ps4 came out
why would they even touch alternative reality though. they haven’t touched on anything eluding they would plus they now have created their own universe they’re building. good dream tho ngl
12:29 dude, Peter meeting Eddie on the football field in the comics was one of that series’ most intense.
Just replayed this masterpiece myself and finally got the Black Suit. It took me a week to get it mainly because of johnny storm and my schedule but it feels so good to 100% this childhood classic.
There is ONE LEVEL on here which I found IMPOSSIBLE as a kid and could never get passed - the Electro chase SCREW that level...
Fun fact: The game is a continuation of the Venom arc in the comic book of the same name.
I love this game. I just wish there was an easier way to get the Symbiote Suit and a NG+ to play as it from the beginning of the game.
Til this day I still haven't 100% this game. Finding all the secret tokens is so hard when there's only like 20 left.
I had this game as a kid and loved it! I’m dying to find a physical copy of it now
Amazon is your best friend

can't believe the price of Web of Shadows these days makes me glad I have my pristine copy all cozied away
This was the first game my mom took away from me as a kid. I was 3 or 4 screaming and bawling my eyes out because I couldn’t win the first race against the Human Torch lmao
3 or 4? Please lol, you're not even cognitive at that age let alone playing a video game that takes precise controls
I love this game and still play it occasionally
Thank you for this . This take me back the main spider man game I wouldn’t mind doing a new game plus back then top tier 💯💯
I got this game on my steam deck for my GameCube emulator
we NEED another comic book game such as this, what insomniacs doing is dope as hell for sure but it’s more so an interpretation of the movies.
Spider-Man 2 is literally a comic book game lol. Go read what Insomniac said, they read different variations of venom to get there story for him. It’s gonna be the best comic book Spider-Man game ever

Bro yes! That track is perfect man
This game definitely needs a remake or remaster
I was obsessed with it. Was collecting the comics then this came out on Xbox.
so underrated, we need so many more games like this
We building towards his spiderman 2 vid and im here for it
I got this on my Xbox holds up perfectly play it on my 360 all the time when I’m feeling nostalgic
7:58 yes wait for wolverine and deadpool and then talk about the X-Men legends games
3rd best SM game ever. right behind SM2 and Insomniac one
game still on my list of vintage games I want to go back to and complete
I'd wished it would get a release on an online store somewhere like Steam or Epicgames or something, I'm tired of having to hunt for this game and having to play it on an emulator
I know up next is probably TASM 2, but please do Spiderman 2000 from the PS1 at some point, it's definitely my favourite Spiderman game ever made.

I absolutely love the videos and even though it would be time number 3, you should review the legendary edition and do a comparison between the two
Congratulations on the house man

This game nostalgic like SM2.
Up until PS4 Spider-Man, this game was my second favorite Spidey game, above Shattered Dimensions and below Spider-Man 2 (the movie tie in)
I remember I got this game before my 6th grade exams and I was so excited to play this game when they were over. For the whole month I was just looking at the box art of this game and imagining stuff about how cool it would be. And cool it was.

Once you've beat all the spiderman games you should rank them dude
Honestly not a bad idea. We also considered doing a movie like compilation of all of them once I'm done just so it's all in one place for those who don't want to hunt around.
I played this after the Spiderman 2 movie game, I was disappointed at first but came to enjoy it a lot.

Would love a modern Spidey game in either this art style or an entire game done in the style of the vintage comic suit from the Insomniac game
Always wanted to play this I'll have to get it for Xbox
My childhood right here
Hope we get to play as Venom in the new one too
I remember loving this game while playing it, but feeling a little disappointed by how short it was.
