|gameinfo          = Ultimate Spider-Man is a video game based on the comic book of the same name by Brian Michael Bendis and Mark Bagley. The game was released for most sixth generation consoles, including PlayStation 2, Xbox, GameCube, Nintendo DS, Game Boy Advance, and Microsoft Windows, as well as a mobile phone version. Treyarch, who made the console games based on the Spider-Man movies, developed the console game, while Vicarious Visions developed the Nintendo DS and Game Boy Advance versions, and Beenox ported the Microsoft Windows version from the consoles.
|gameinfo          = Based on the comic book of the same name, Ultimate Spider-Man lets you play as either the hero Spider-Man or his arch-nemesis, Venom.  Use the unique combat techniques of either Spider-Man or Venom to battle a host of  Spider-Man characters. Artistic contributions by the creators of the series make for an authentic Spider-Man experience.<br />
Stylistically, it differs from its predecessor, Spider-Man 2, in that it employs what has been dubbed, "Comic Inking Animation technology," a form of cel shading intended to simulate the appearance of a comic-book.

==Trivia==
* Original names: '''アルティメットスパイダーマン''' (SLPM-66404)
* The game sets to widescreen when it is prompted by the 16:9 ratio setting in the PS2 internal menu (the game does not have a real built-in widescreen, the image will be stretched)
