You play as both Peter and Eddie at points along the way, and this split actually takes away from the story. The story of the game is, when compared to the previous Spider-Man games, a bit of a let down. But this isn’t a review of the Ultimate universe. He steals the suit for himself and thus begins the tale of Venom.įor myself, as this is my introduction to the Ultimate Universe, I have to say that I’m not exactly loving the changes they made. Eddie finds out what Peter did and gets angry. He goes back to the lab, gets rid of the suit and goes about his business. For a time he feels great and then the suit attempts to bond with him. Peter breaks into the lab as Spidey and puts on on the suit. Later Peter and Eddie find out about the suit and decide to steal it for some reason I’m not clear on.

The suit is deemed too dangerous and is stored away. In this universe Peter and Eddie’s dad were scientists who were working on a biochemical suit in order to help find a cure for cancer. Actually to put it properly, it’s really the Ultimate version of Venom’s origin. The story of the game focuses on both Spider-Man/Peter Parker and Venon/Eddie Brock. So how did this one do? Is it the ultimate game? Or the ultimate let down? Thus the name of this game, Ultimate Spider-Man.

But my point is that some of the most popular books being sold right now are in Marvel’s Ultimate universe. Well, lets be honest they were doing it long before I even started. I do know that since I’ve stopped buying both Marvel and DC have gone hogwild with new books and revisiting character history etc. Then I realized there were other things the money could be spent on (like videogames) and so I stopped buying them. It’s been a while since I’ve ventured into the realm of comic books.
