I knew there was something about Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions that reminded me of 2005's diamond in the rough Ultimate Spider-Man. Lo and behold, amidst the four different Spidey personas, Activision has unveiled the final Spider-Man you'll play as in this tale of parallel universes, and it's Ultimate. Steve Johnson jumped into some hands-on time with this newly revealed playable Parker, and here's a glimpse at how he'll play:
"If Spider Man Noir is kind of wimpy when he's not hiding in the shadows, Ultimate Spider-Man is the opposite. He takes on enemies full-on, dispatching swarms of bad guys with powerful attacks in a God of War, beat-em-up style. Ultimate has a rage-meter that allows him to unleash special attacks, as well as the ability to string together devastating combos. The controls are smooth, and while it's a bit button-mashy, that's the intention, and like in God of War, it works very, very well."
So he's like Kratos, minus the high blood pressure? Color me interested. And if you're a shade more intrigued, check out Steve's hands-on impressions from Comic-Con 2010!

I remember watching a trailer for this around or before E3, it got me pretty interested, enough to keep following it like a lemming, but the more I learn about it the less I find myself caring.

I can understand the occasional web-parachute to save him from a big enough fall, but idk how I feel about all these Green Lantern things he seems to be pulling off in this game...Giant web fists? A giant web spiked ball? One of my favorite Spidey things is that aside from being a wise-cracking goofball, he's also a scientific character, so making him so much into an unrealistic cartoon character takes away from that (unless they're using a "& His Amazing Friends" version, I guess)...but as always, it'll all come down to the gameplay...*shrugs*

That is kind of a let down even though we have known for over a week which Spidey was the last reveal. I'll wait for reviews or a demo(hopefully) before I start bashing it especially since it still does look like a cool Spidey game.

That's f-in lame. Ultimate is Amazing in a slightly different art style. And God of War ripoff? I can play Dante's Inferno for that. You've got Black suit spidey, 1602 spidey, zombie spidey, and cosmic spidey to choose from. And you choose the new version of Amazing Spider-man with God of War clone gameplay? So the game is gonna end on an unoriginal letdown of a note after three fantastic choices? They had me considering buying this, until now. I'm gonna rent it from gamefly, play it till I beat the Noir section and send it back. After being so secretive and making a big deal out of this reveal, it's a letdown? I would have saved Noir for last. stupid

Sorry, not enough difference between ultimate and regular. The only thing more disappointing would have been black suit. With zombies, 1602, spiderman 2211, all the different exiles versions, Man Spider, SpiderCarnage, this is really the best they could come up with?

sounds pretty cool. Ultimate Spider-Man was the last decent spidey game. I'd love to see an entire game dedicated to the Noir setting though. that would be hawt.
