2:00 I’m Peter and I’m Ben is one of those great unintentional references, guys you were born for this list!

I'd like to see a video of every star wars game ranked! There's a lot of them, and they range from good to bad!

39:34 It takes Spider-Man way too long to defeat that bird.

Ultimate Spiderman is my personal favorite. Currently playing through it on my PS2 with my 5 year old son. I mostly help him when he starts to struggle, which happens very often. The newest Spiderman games are great don't get me wrong. I just love the comic book feel of Ultimate Spiderman. The celshaded graphics have aged beautifully, the gameplay and controls still feel solid, and playing as Venom is just the icing on the cake! Super fun!!

Sm3 over Web of shadows boggles the mind.

Web of Shadows should be higher, tbh.

Maximum Carnage is a classic you monsters, those metal remixes are the best lol

47:45 I love the way he just turns around and is like “really?” And knocks him out.

I’m so happy Shattered Dimensions is so high on this list!

22:24 green goblin? i thought it was Hulk

i feel like spiderman 3 on 360 and ps3 is way underrated, i actually enjoyed that game back in the day

The game of “Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions” also had a lot of cameos of a lot of previous voice actors who has voiced Spider-Man in cartoons. Amazing Dimension: Neil Patrick Harris - Spider-Man: The New Animated Series 2099 Dimension: Ted Schwartz - Spider-Man (1981) / Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends Noir Dimension: Christopher Daniel Barnes - Spider-Man: The Animated Series Ultimate Dimension: Josh Keaton - The Spectacular Spider-Man: Animated Series

When I watched this I was like, "I swear, Ultimate Spider-Man better get top 5"

I love how well you guys do the gradual tonal shift from negative to loving over the course of these long lists. It's both good writing and good execution, which is what makes me enjoy these long lists most of all. I would choose to be bitten by a radioactive armadillo so that I could roll around at the actual speed of sound.

I've literally never heard about half of these games..

Maximum Carnage should've been higher.

Wait, there were two different voices on this video?

16:01 aww I actually really enjoyed that game as a kid. Might be my child mentality at the time that looked past the flaws and just really enjoyed being Spider-Man.

My favorite is web of shadows, the speed of the swinging as well as the web animations, the arial combat is nothing we've seen to this day in this quality and the symbiote infested zombie-like new york is a nice change. It'S just great, and tthe fact it was made in A YEAR made it even better for me.

People can judge me, but I like the version of Spider-Man 3 for PS3, XBOX 360 and PC. Has lots of problems but I think It was fun enough for fans. The variaty of villains and storylines that tie together to tell the main plot about the black suit, which is actually very well explored in the game, how Peter slowly realizes what the suit does to him. The game handles the black suit much better than the movie did. Played It a lot on PC.

Putting Maximum Carnage and Separation Anxiety so low on this list is absolutely criminal. Those games incorporated full comic panels into the story, added comic book style effects with every attack, and had some great side-scrolling beat ‘em up fun that (while mind numbing) was very enjoyable and kept me interested with each play. I realize they aren’t perfect titles, but come on, it was SNES and it was a miracle to even make a game at that point, let alone a masterpiece. Think of what the development team had to compare their project with at the time. You can’t expect a game with Spider-Man PS4 quality on a retro console title. Other than that, pretty nice list.

Outside of the ranking of Separation Anxiety, I've enjoyed this list. To me, Shattered Dimensions is the second best Spider-Man. But number 3 isn't a bad ranking.

I actually loved the Amazing Spiderman 2 for console back in the day, and I didn’t care for how it looked and felt, I just wanted to be Spiderman. I felt that was actually the first true video game I played.

I like how Spider-Man 2000 and Enter Electro are the only two game whose soundtracks are given a special mention. They truly do have some of the best tracks out there!

So fitting that Peter and Ben made this video ;)

I wouldn’t mind a every rockstar game ranked list

Absolutely love Spider-Man PS4, just makes my PS4 sound like a jet engine xD

maximum carnage is great... it has much more than what is shown here. nice and unique partners/helpers, secret stages, different paths...

I do think it's a little weird you put the Atari game over the DS Web of Shadows and Edge of Time- Honestly you were a little hard on some of these games imo.

Maximum Carnage is way too low on the list...It's not great but it's a really fun game to play

PS1 Spiderman was my childhood, I loved playing it over and over again, especially Venom parts, but that Venom chase was really frustrating for my child skills lol

Web of Shadows on the DS was amazing! It was a solid metroidvania with a really fun combat system.

I've always heard Maximum Carnage was seen as one of the better Spider-Man games. It's not great, but it's definitely better than most of the titles before the PS1.

Spiderman, Spiderman. Doesn't belong on a hyper-scan.😂

The one where you gotta fight the creepy monstrous Symbiote Doc Ock was phenomenal for its time. One of the few that got a Spider-Man game right back in the early days.

I always loved the chill BGM you guys put into these videos.

29:52: "YOU'RE RUNNING OUT OF FLUUUUIIIIID!!!!"

I know this sounds like whining, but I think Enter Electro should at least be in the top 10. It rocks.

I feel like Edge of time was cucked hard in this video. The story is actually pretty good. Altho gameplay may be repetitive, the story really brings it more up there for me. The game has good actors, fun story, and makes you go on the edge of your seat, and looking at one spiderman helping another threw Messing with time itself, graphics are great too at the time. Spiderman 2099 shows his stuff, especially when he saves peter showing the true difference between them showing how cool he really is and how Peter is more faster between the spider men, I respect your opinion I just believe edge of time should be higher and more credit then it should be getting.

Just had a great idea- Every Harry Potter game ranked from worst to best! Great range of good to terrible there, would be fun.

Another round of kudos for ya, Philip and James. These can't be easy, to write/edit, but you guys always do an excellent job!

another AMAZING long list! great job guys!

Typed this in the search bar and this was the exact video I was asking for. Good job

Mysterio's menace should be way higher. It's a lot more enjoyable than some of the later games look to be.

I really enjoy that you gave "Amazing Spider-Man" for GB so much love. It was my first GB game and I still can go through the first 3 stages without much of a hazzle. I remember that I can´t wait for christmas that year and getting the GB & this game. It will always have a special place in my heart.

Amazing Spider-Man 1 for the PS3 was so much fun. The story was just ok but the amount of stuff to do in the city, specially the awesome way you collect flying comics in the air was just great. I haven't played the one for the PS4 but I hope they use that comic feature at some point if they haven't. It's just awesome.

holy crap, i've found Ben and Peter (the best 2 from Whatculture) again, SUBSCRIBED!!

i watched the whole video,it was totally worth it you ranked the whole games perfectly i already liked and subscribed

So did Peter secretly change his last name so we wouldn't know this awesome channel has a superhero on it as well?

Not done with the video yet, just started it actually, but I’m already impressed with the fact that you bothered to rotoscope the hand on the dead black and white cyclops clip

I like ultimate spider man, web of shadows, spider man ps4. Those are my favorites spider man games. Also the mysterio game for the GBA. I have fond memories of that as a child.

Mysterio's Menace is a GBA classic. You done goofed, TripleJump.

"The worst first level in gaming history" I'll see your spiderman invasion of the spider slayers and raise you FRED MUST PAINT THE WALL

I loved maximum carnage as a kid 😕

Much respect for taking the time to make this.

1:18 Spider Man Toxic City was awesome beat-em-up back in the days. It deserved to be in this list

Before the list starts, my pick is PS1 Spider-Man, that was my childhood game and Carnage and Monster-Ock bloody terrified me. Any less than top 3 and I'll be upset and possibly write an angry letter, be warned.

I agree 100% with the top 4 but I would have placed Web of Shadows higher just for the air combat alone. The way you could jump from enemy to enemy without touching the ground was fantastic.

Wow! This video must have taken a lot of work! Kudos!

Can you do another list but rank it from worst exaggerated swagger to best?

I'd love to see you do a list like this for Simpson's Games.

nice content

Awesome count down, just earned a sub mate.

As usual a great video!

I can honestly say I never expected TripleJump to make a Mr. Show reference.

How the hell is Seperation Anxiety ranked higher than Maximum Carnage? Seperation Anxiety was garbage!

I agree with your list 100%! I never thought I would say that before I watched this!

You all put so much work into these videos man, I have so much respect lol wild

What a beast!! Thanks my dudes

All opinions are valid. Except your opinion on max carnage. It’s just wrong. Minor classic.

You had one job: include the Atari 2600 Spider-Man on the list... ...and you did. Excellent.

I'm currently playing ultimate spider man again and I love it, easily my second favourite spider man game next to marvels spider man.

Here's a ranking of the games I played (note that I count only games with Spider-Man as their main protagonist, so don't expect games like Marvel Ultimate Alliance or Lego Marvel Superheroes): 13. Spider-Man Friend or Foe (it's a game made for kids and a copycat of Lego games, except not as fun; the only good thing about it is the ability to play as Spider-Man's villains which I always enjoy in a game; I'm just that kind of guy who always prefers the villains to the hero, and in Spider-Man's case, there are some really interesting and memorable villains; unfortunately, this premise is wasted on a standard beat 'em up) 12. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (the only good thing about this game are the costumes and free roaming through Manhattan whilist stopping crimes, but even that gets very repetitive after a time) 11. Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro (the forgettable sequel to the most important Spider-Man game of all time; there's nothing really to criticize about the game, as it's almost the same as the original and even improves on the gameplay, other than the fact that everything about it is forgettable due to playing it safe and not changing too much) 10. Spider-Man Edge of Time (the mediocre sequel to the very memorable Shattered Dimensions; I don't know why I don't like this game, seeing as to how it's almost the same as Shattered Dimensions, minus two out of four dimensions and some actual unique gameplay between the diffrent Spider-Men; also, starting your game with Spider-Man dying is the worst way possible to start a game; overall, the gameplay is overrepetitive and the two Spider-Men play almost the same, which is why it's a decent superhero game at best) 9. Spider-Man 3 (just like the movie, it's very underrated, because people don't know how to look at it; it's just dumb fun; as long as you don't take it too seriously and try to enjoy it for what it is, it's actually a very decent superhero game; also, I enjoyed playing as the New Goblin) 8. The Amazing Spider-Man (the premise was deffinetely... interesting, but I don't like how it turned important villains like Rhino or Scorpion into mindless monsters; many things in the game were unique, such as the whole cross-species vs robots war, and I also liked being allied with the Lizard throughout the entire game; unfortunately, it tried way too hard to copy Batman: Arkham Asylum and City, and ended up as nothing more than a decent, but forgettable superhero game) 7. Spider-Man 2000 (the first 3D Spider-Man game, and just a classic; I love when superhero games aren't based on movies and are allowed to include as many cameos of other characters as they want - it makes them feel like they are actually part of the comics) 6. Spider-Man: The Movie Game (it was an overall decent Spider-Man game, but what made it unique and memorable for me was the ability to play as the Green Goblin) 5. Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions (very basic premise, but that's part of its charm; really fun to experience four diffrent versions of Spider-Man and their universes, each with its own unique art style and villains; this game was also my introduction to Spider-Man Noir and Spider-Man 2099, who have become two of my favourite alternate versions of Spider-Man) 4. Spider-Man: Web of Shadows (very interesting premise, which was handled very well; it was fun to explore a Manhattan full of symbiotes, and also to team up with other heroes and villains to attempt to put a stop to the situation; the choice system and the diffrent endings were also fun to experience) 3. Spider-Man 2 (just overall nostalgic, the first open world Spider-Man game, and expanded the plot of already one of the best Spider-Man movies) 2. Ultimate Spider-Man (basically Spider-Man 2, but with a more unique art style, not based on a movie, meaning more freedom with the characters and the plot, more stuff to do and the ability to play as Venom; NUFF SAID!) 1. Spider-Man PS4 (duh, were you expecting anything else?)

3:26 He's taking a piss.

31:10 missed opportunity to say “friendly or foely”

I am amazed that you really got to ranked every spider-man game.

27:50 oh come on man 1 I know this game wasn't perfect but it was fun as hell . Not deserve that place ...

You're high if you think maximum carnage and separation anxiety deserve to be so low imo lol

I'm glad the Mega Drive Spiderman vs the Kingpin is so high on the list. That game was really awesome. I always loved the Camera gimmick.

yoooo this list is exactly what i needed. i plan on doing a spider-man game marathon for his 60th anniversary this year and i wanna know what im getting myself into lol

web of shadows ds is actually pretty good imo.

I was ready to chew you guys out, but I saw my favorite came in at number 5, and all is well, thanks for this

“Return of the Curse of the Creature’s Ghost” - kudos on the Mr. Show deep cut reference!

I think you guys are going to have to do a updated version of this list at the end of 2023.

I played Spiderman 2 on PC as a Kid. I loved It, Watching back at myself Im ashamed 😅

Amazing 2 game for Xbox is Lowkey underrated. The amazing 1 is my favorite Spider-Man game followed by ultimate then Spider-Man 3

This must’ve took days to put together! How long did it take to find the footage?

Were the subtitles uploaded from an unfinished version of the script? The video and audio both say that Spider-Man for the Hyper-Scan is ONE OF the five games released for the system, as indicated by the depicted Wiki article list of games. The subtitles incorrectly call it the fifth and last of them.

I liked the thing in Friend or Foe where you could fight each other as the different characters. It isnt a huge plus though lol

I really am glad Ultimate Spider-Man got a high mark. At least, the good versions of it, the DS one is a hot mess sometimes. It's super underrated tbh and deserves a lot more love. Plus, the GBA version is a surprisingly solid game, and I'm really happy that didn't get overlooked.

Dope RU-vid channel , defs deserves more subscribers.

Great video

Web of Shadows is amazing it's up there with one of my favourites

So happy to see Enter Electro in the top 20😂👌

This video is amazing!

Thank you for helping me find Ultimate Spider-Man on the DS again. I played it all the time as a kid
