Activision has acquired game developer Vicarious Visions, the studio developing the Nintendo DS title, Spider-Man 2. Activision said Vicarious Visions has developed five games that have sold more than one million units each and is currently co-developing Doom 3 for the Xbox with id Software, as well as Spider-Man 2, which will be a launch title for the upcoming PSP platform.


In addition, they have developed Game Boy Advance titles Shrek 2 and DreamWorks' Shark Tale and Tony Hawk's Underground 2 and Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro for the PlayStation game console.


Under the terms of the agreement, Vicarious Visions' 100-person studio has become a unit of Activision. Vicarious Visions' management team and key employees have signed long-term employment contracts with Activision.
