Ultimate Spider-Man
Ultimate Spider-Man
Ultimate Spider-Man, édité par Activision et Taito et développé par Beenox et Treyarch, est sorti le 22 septembre 2005 sur PC, PlayStation 2, Xbox et GameCube. Ce jeu d'action et de combat au corps à corps, construit sur le moteur Treyarch NGL et protégé par le système SafeDisc 4, s'inspire librement de la série de comics éponyme. Les joueurs y incarnent tour à tour Spider-Man ou Venom, disposant chacun de capacités et d'un style de combat propres, et croisent différents personnages de l'univers Spider-Man au sein d'une direction artistique influencée par les créateurs de la bande dessinée.
L'accueil critique s'est révélé globalement favorable, avec un score Metacritic de 75 et une note agrégée de 74,82. La presse a salué l'expérience proposée, comme l'a fait Stuff en qualifiant le titre de disque de super-héros éclatant et plein de style, doté d'un gameplay captivant dès les premières minutes, tandis que GamingTrend a relevé la facilité de s'y plonger ponctuellement pour se balancer en ville avant de le reposer. Du côté des joueurs, les avis cités sur Metacritic restent mitigés : si l'un juge le jeu solide mais survendu, estimant qu'il souffre d'un enchaînement artificiel de combats de boss et de poursuites, un autre souligne la bonne tenue de son rendu cell-shading vingt ans plus tard et apprécie la mise en scène globale.

Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« A vibrant, eye-popping superhero disc that has more style, wit and compelling gameplay in its first 10 minutes than most games have in their entirety. »
« The fun of this game is that you can pick it up at any time and swing around for a while and then shelf the title for the day. It is a rare game that you can do that sort of thing. Even the full missions are short enough where you can plow through one or two on a lunch break. »
« This is a comic lovers dream come true; the perfect marriage of comics and video games, and with so many comic-inspired games already out and more on the way, I can say without reservation that Ultimate Spider-Man will rule them all with ultimate gameplay and ultimate style. »
« Heck, you should just play this game for the comic-book styled cutscenes alone. Good thing there's a good game in here as well. »
« Simply the ultimate in comic book video games. Ultimate Spider-Man does for comic book games what "Sin City" did for comic book films. »
« A beautifully put together game that will make a lasting impression on anyone who witnesses it in action. »
« Though the game isnâ??t perfect, the addicting story line and amazing presentation are definitely welcomed. If Treyarch had kept the bigger city and more advanced web swinging techniques, Ultimate Spider-Man would have been the definitive Spider-Man game. »
« The true letdown, though, is that the master villains can still be supremely frustrating to defeat, requiring several replays and exhaustive bouts of highly patterned attacks. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« A- (8.1/10) Overrated but still solid. It could’ve easily been S-tier, but the game ends up feeling like stitched-together boss battles and chase sequences layered over dull city objectives. Still, if you’re a Spider-Man fan, you’ll enjoy it — the story is engaging, the combat is simple but fun (especially the Venom fights), and the free-roaming and web-swinging are fantastic. The music is catchy at first, but with so few tracks, it starts to get annoying over time. The city may feel empty, but strong voice acting and a vibrant comic-book style give it plenty of charm. Easily an A-tier experience. »
« I think overall it’s a good Spider-Man game. The graphics and graphic style with the cell shaded style look good 20 years later. I like how it’s played out like a comic book with the cutscenes and all the different bosses. The web swinging is good, not as good as a comparable title from that era being Spider-Man 2. If you enjoy Spider-Man games you’ll enjoy this one. »
« GOATED Spider-Man game! Everything is perfect in this game. »
« Es un crimen el que nunca hubiera secuela, y no los comics no son suficiente »
« The best spider-man game, along with spider-man WOS. high-level History, graphics and gameplay. Fun and interesting. I would like Spider-man to return to activision »
« The best game ever. Nothing can compare with how fun my 8-year-old self had when playing this endlessly swinging between buildings fighting criminals that randomly appears on the street. Didn't even do the main game. But the best moment was when I found a bug that made me able to swing to the statue of liberty by perfectly timing rope-pulling the water. great game that needs to be backwards compatible to Xbox one. »
« This game is one of the best super hero games ever made! In my personal opinion, I still prefer Spider-Man 2 the most, but other than that you should definitely give this one a try! »
« Great game, the best game about the spider after the Spider-man 2000 and if you're torn into which version to play between the consoles, then I advise you to choose Xbox, because on it the best graphics and play is just nicer than on PS2 or Gamecube »
