Absorbing life from enemies and civilians alike, the player cheats a demise, despite their suit continuously draining their health level. As Venom, the player relies on huge jumps and sharp claws to propel the massive villain from building to building. Random events, like muggings and civilian rescues, create unexpected opportunities to uphold the Hero's Code by helping out the helpless. Various collectible items around the open-world map unlock new costumes, and side missions offer ways to keep things interesting as you complete the main storyline in the game. As our hero, Spider-Man cheats the law of gravity by swinging from buildings and performing acrobatic maneuvers and fluid combat. In Story mode of "Ultimate Spider-Man," you automatically switch between controlling Spidey and his friend, who's gained abilities from wearing the Venom suit. It set a new standard for how good a free-roaming game could be on consoles like the PlayStation. The cel-shaded video art style works beautifully with the free-roaming nature of the game.
