Last week Gameloft released the latest Spider-man Windows Phone game, Spider-man: Ultimate Power. The game was actually a demo with the full version running $4.99.
Based on the early reviews and comments not only were gamers unhappy that the free game was a demo and not the full game, but there were several performance issues with the game.
Again, the "free version" of the game was simply a demo that allowed you to play the first one and a half levels of the game. After which, if you wanted to continue playing it would cost you a $4.99 in-app purchase.
After playing the game in preparation for a review, Spider-man: Ultimate Power came across as having potential. I just don't think it had $5 worth of potential.
We've reached out to Gameloft to see why the game was pulled and if they plan on re-releasing it. It may be the case the release should have been a free, ad-supported version of the full game and someone goofed by releasing it as a demo. If we hear anything definitive, we will pass it on.
