    The game’s graphics are comparable to previous entries but decidedly larger in scope. You can’t always tell but it’s hard not to be impressed by the scope when the camera pulls away and shows you the level you’re playing through.

    I loved the new control scheme that literally allows you to draw your moves, zip to buildings, and engage in exciting combat. There is a great story, colorful graphics, and just a fun time to be had with this latest Spidey title.

    I won’t cookie-cut – the DS rendition of Spider-man 3 will undoubtedly provide more entertainment than its multi-million dollar big-screen counterpart. Activision should be commended on a job well done.

    For gamers looking for something more substantial or impressive it has little to offer, but Spider-Man 3 DS betters the Wii, PS3 and 360 versions, without any need for their technical muscle and big-budget gloss.

    This is one of the few good Movie-based games I've played. The touch screen controls are great, it has great graphics, and it's fun to beat up all those thugs. However, it's on the short side, and after you beat it, the combat gets pretty old.… Expand

    It revolutionizes the way action games are played on the DS. Like many I'm sure, I was worried about all the fighting being done on the touch screen, but I must say that Spider-Man 3 really nails an awesome gaming experience. It's not the greatest action game of all time, but it is the best one on the DS. Really fun and worth it just for the touch screen experience.… Expand
