Ultimate Spider-Man is an action-adventure video game released in 2005 for the Nintendo GameCube and other platforms. Based on the comic book of the same name, the game allows players to control both Spider-Man and his nemesis, Venom, as they follow a storyline penned by comic veterans. The game's vibrant cel-shaded graphics closely mimic the aesthetics of its comic book origins. As Spider-Man, players swing through the city, combat various foes, and engage in acrobatic combat, while Venom's gameplay introduces a darker, more brutal style of play.
