The story is great - revolving around Peter and his superhero duties mixed with his teenage woes. Treyarch enlisted the talents of USM scribe, Brian Michael Bendis, whose monthly work on the Spidey comic title rarely (if ever) disappoints and USM artist Mark Bagley, whose visual style is captured to near-perfection.

This year, the good folks at Treyarch have given us another impressive entry with Ultimate Spider-Man, but it isn't exactly what you would call "ultimate." First things first, this is the closest a video game has gotten to a comic thus far. Though the story itself wasn't too impressive, the gameplay more than made up for it. It had so much going for it: a wide-open environment, amazing web-swinging mechanics, a solid fight system, and impressive visuals. The sounds of the city immerse you in Marvel’s New York and bring blockbuster Spider-Man moments to life with the PS5 system’s Tempest 3D AudioTech.Last year's Spider-Man 2 was a knockout in terms of what the series had done.
