4. Ultimate Spider-Man (2005, PS2/Xbox/GameCube/PC)
Spider-Man 2 on PS2 and Xbox was an amazing game. And while everyone tends to remember it fondly, fewer people talk about the follow-up, Ultimate Spider-Man, released the following year. That’s a shame because this is a wonderful game and one of the best Spider-Man games ever made. It used the same engine and controls as Spider-Man 2, but was set in the Ultimate Spider-Man universe, with a younger Peter. It also featured comic-book-inspired cell-shaded visuals and was quick to break the fourth wall or make meta-jokes. Some might find Peter too talkative, but I felt it fit the vibe of the game.
