Neversoft's original Spider-Man may tell a more focused story, the PS2's Ultimate Spider-Man stands tall to this day as the greatest open-world superhero outing the wall-crawler has ever enjoyed.

Bringing to life every aspect of Spidey's Ultimate universe, Activision was able to capture a side of the hero that has rarely been explored in the gaming space. With twists on classic plots and characters yet the same acclaimed gameplay that made Spider-Man 2 such a pleasure to play, this definitive comic book experience set the bar for all Spider-Man games going forward.

Without feeling the need to tell a second-rate superhero story, Ultimate Spider-Man instead has the freedom to dive head-first into its comic book roots, which only results in a gloriously unrestricted celebration of everything that makes the web head so adored by fans around the globe.
