Gameplay in this experience, although button-mashingly repetitive, is a good deal of fun. The level design is pretty linear, and nothing that hasn’t been done before in dozens of other titles, but it features a nice mix of fighting “grunt” enemies, bashing mini-bosses, swinging around, wall-crawling and climaxing with the ultimate showdown of that level’s boss baddie.
It’s up to Spider-Man to, once again, square off with Doc Ock, Electro, Rhino, Sandman, Green Goblin and Venom and lay the smack down on their villainous backsides. The basic narrative / set-up here is that many of the infamous scoundrels that populate Spider-Man’s “rouge’s gallery” have escaped from prison and are running amok in the city. The Ultimate Spider-Man universe in the comics depicts Peter Parker as a teenager once again, although in a more modern (early 2000’s) milieu, and that’s the setting Gameloft’s well made Ultimate Spiderman: Total Mayhem for the iPhone / iPod / iPad drops the players into.
Spider-Man is one of the few superheroes whose appeal is worldwide he’s a downtrodden “everyman” suddenly given great powers (and great responsibilities) which he struggles with on a daily basis and most people, wherever they are, find that extremely relatable.
