7. Ultimate Spider-Man: The Flaws

I touched on these a little but the story is kind of all over the place.

The broad strokes are good, but there's a lot of weird filler all over the place to fit in other elements. Not to say it's bad, but there's a reason why they cut out most of the plot when they adapted it back into the comics. The other big flaw is in regards to the difficulty curve. The game doesn't so much feel like a curve as like a zigzag. Random boss battles or missions will be incredibly difficult, only for the next two hours of the game to be easy and relaxing.

The Green Goblin fight is the best example I can think of, as it's much more frustrating and difficult than anything surrounding it, and comes right in the middle of the game. Some of the Venom sections also get quite hard, as Venom's slower speed makes it harder to avoid taking damage. Even though you can heal, it's a lengthy process that can be interrupted at any moment.

I'm sure some #RealGamer will tell me that I'm bad at video games or something for saying all this but here's the thing: I am. I'm bad at video games. Just to clear it up.
