Well, you certainly bring some good points, specially the repetitive boss formula. But I think those problems are shadowed by the numerous good things the game has, like the style, gameplay or designs. I liked Venom's design, I really like how Ultimate Venom looks.

The gameplay is definetely fun. The freefroaming Manhattan and Queens are too, and they have truly nice details like the appearance of the Sancto Sactorum or various cameos like Kraven's TV show or the Arachnoman movie (which is also an unlockable costume). The bonus are pretty good, comic covers tokens, landmark tokens, and secret tokens which once you collect all 100 of them, you unlock the Black Suit Spider-Man (and there are also other costumes, like Wrestling Spider-Man or Peter Parker), there is also the City Tours in which you can punch a lot of bad guys for fun. I really liked that each district of New York City had their own recognizable type of gangs (Queens has the Yancy Street Gang (medium difficulty), Lower Manhattan has some Asian bad guys (they are a pain in the arse), Midtown Manhattan has some techno bad guys (literal punching bags), and upper Manhattan has military-esque bad guys (medium difficulty)).

The City Missions are also fun, and there are a lot of them. I also liked how whenever there's a robbery, the robbed store's texture changes to display its window broken, and you can even see the items inside.

The only thing I wished is that New York City was a little bit more destroyable, this is not very noticeable with Spider-Man, but when you want to wreak havoc as Venom, the only thing you can destroy are cars.

Of course, you would need some prior Ultimate Spider-Man knowledge (not a lot), in order not to come across some surprises. Shocker in the Ultimate Universe is a literal joke, he's Spider-Man's punching bag.

Fun fact: the Ultimate version of Beetle first appeared in this game, and later in the comics.

I would also like you to review another game, obviously not as soon as possible, Spider-Man: Web of Shadows.

Thanks!
