Play Ultimate Spider-Man Online

Summary

Ultimate Spider‑Man on the Nintendo DS turns the comic‑book hit into a side‑scrolling adventure that still feels like a 3‑D city. You can swing as Spider‑Man on the top screen, tapping the touch panel only for special attacks or to move heavy objects, while Venom’s levels flip the action to the bottom screen, letting you fling enemies and objects with his tentacles. The health systems are deliberately different: Spider‑Man recovers with red pickups, whereas Venom’s gauge constantly drains and must be replenished by feeding on civilians. A multiplayer mode unlocks extra characters and arenas for head‑to‑head bouts, and the game tracks secret tokens, landmark icons and comic‑book covers you discover while roaming Manhattan and Queens. The blend of touchscreen tricks, dual‑character play and collectible hunting makes the DS version a distinct, surprisingly deep take on the Ultimate Spider‑Man brand.

Storyline

The Nintendo DS game Ultimate Spider‑Man (often called Ultimate Spider‑Man DS) is set in the Ultimate Marvel universe, three months after the Venom story arc from the comics. Peter Parker investigates Trask Industries, suspecting the company’s link to the creation of the Venom symbiote and the mysterious death of his parents.

The game opens with a quick recap of Peter’s first rain‑soaked battle with Venom on a high‑school football field, ending with Venom seemingly killed by a live power line. Three months later Peter has returned to normal life, unaware that Eddie Brock is still alive and feeding on strangers in a nearby park. Eddie later clashes with Wolverine after a motorbike‑throwing incident, and Spider‑Sense alerts Peter during a field trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, leading to a rooftop showdown that ends with Silver Sable’s Wild Pack capturing Venom.

Trask and Adrian Toomes imprison Eddie in an energy cage and force him to test a prototype suit. The suit pits Venom against Electro in Times Square, draws S.H.I.E.L.D. interference, and forces Eddie to reveal that Peter is Spider‑Man before he is chased away by the Wild Pack. A Latverian mercenary calling himself Beetle frees the Green Goblin, battles Spider‑Man, and then hunts Venom for a suit sample, while a tranquilizer‑fired Silver Sable leads to a clash above the Queensboro Bridge involving both heroes.

Injected with a makeshift Carnage sample, Eddie transforms into Carnage, is later absorbed by Venom, and then spits Peter out, gaining control of a hybrid suit marked by a white spider symbol. Trask hands Peter files about his parents, revealing that their fatal plane crash was caused by Eddie Brock Sr. testing the Venom suit. After Trask’s death at Eddie’s hands, Peter confides in Mary Jane Watson that he knows Eddie is still alive, trapped within the symbiote.
