Ultimate Spider-Man
OK, so has anyone played this yet? It isn't out over here, and from what I've read in general it seems to have removed some of the best bits of Spider-Man 2.
I loved the webswinging in Spider-Man 2, it kept me playing long after I finished the crappy story mode. Now all I hear is how they've turned it into easy-swinging mode (which I absolutely hated in SM2).
Can't swing on lamp-posts, can't use two weblines, etc. All the random missions are EXACTLY the same. People falling from buildings, take people to hospital, stop cars etc. WHY?
I would have also preferred a Venom/Spidey thing based on the 616 storyline, where Venom is more like Spidey. The Ultimate Venom just doesn't "do it" for me like old school Venom did. Same goes for Goblin and the other villains. They just aren't as cool. I like the Ultimate comics and read them when I can, but I just don't like them as much as 616.
For the purposes of a game, the ideal Spidey game would be based on the 616 storylines, and have diifferent random missions, and keep the damn webswinging from Spidey 2 intact or make it better rather than taking out bits.
