Play Ultimate Spider-Man Online

Ultimate Spider-Man on the Game Boy Advance came out in 2005, developed by Vicarious Visions and published by Activision. It was one of those licensed games that actually tried to do something a bit different on the handheld, standing out from the usual movie tie-ins with its own visual style and dual-character approach.

You control both Spider-Man and Venom, switching between them as the story demands. Spider-Man swings through the city with fluid, responsive controls, webbing up thugs and navigating platforming sections with ease. As Venom, you tear through enemies with brute force, and you have to keep consuming people to maintain your health, which adds a constant pressure during combat. The game is structured around clear mission objectives that push you through urban environments and interior spaces, with a brisk pace that rarely lets up. It feels fast, chaotic, and genuinely fun to play, especially when you’re in the middle of a brawl or a high-speed chase.
