This game was rushed.

Let me first start by saying this that I am a BIG fan of spiderman, he is my favorite superhero. This game however, does not live up to the great spiderman franchise. First off let me say that I like the cell shading textures, and the lightsources that can bounce off spidey at any time, but other than that this game leaves me feeling empty inside. Let me explain why... Last year's release of spiderman 2 was nothing short of phenomenal, It seemed to do all the right things from web swinging to fighting bad guys, wall crawling, running ect. This game however, does more of the "same old same old" The game is unbelivably short and the A.I. of the boss characters are elementary at best, I was done with the entire adventure in about an hour and a half. This will not do, also the lack of diverse fighting teqniuques also hurts this title. In spiderman 2 you were able to purchase moves via "the spiderman store" to upgrade your hero as you saw fit. In ultimate spiderman, the moves automatically upgraded as you progressed further into the game taking away a very needed sense of control and customization. Also the spider sense in this title is a complete joke. Spiderman doesn't jump out of the way of everything, he dodges as seen in spiderman 2. I'm sorry, adding venom to the mix does not make up for the sloppiness of this rushed title. I'll admit that playing venom at first was exciting, but I quickly grew tired of him because of the lack diversity and depth in his moves and his mobility. To make a long story short kids, spiderman 2 was a much better game in all of the catagories, this game feels like treyarch and activision recycled bits of spiderman 2 and put them into the cell shading machine like refried beans, and whats worse they left all the cool spidey elements out and put boring stuff like "save the fool that keeps getting stuck on the edge of the damn building" This game could ahve been so much better than it was.
