Marvel-inspired games have a habit of being deeply disappointing on Nintendo consoles. Ultimate Alliance 1 and 2 were poor on both the Wii and the DS, Iron Man for the DS was far less exciting than the blurb would have you believe and X-Men Origins: Wolverine was largely considered to be a waste of shelf space. Ultimate Spider-Man is one of the few DS titles to make good use of Marvel's undoubtedly rich source material, but it is definitely in the minority. 3/5
