    Much better than the movie! Great swinging and combat, love the Gothic Lolitas, super cool Options Screens and UI, beautiful city - what Superman wanted to be but wasn't! It left me wanting more. The cinematic brawls and bomb defusing mini-games were much needed additions to the game-play and the Scorpion Mind Control mini-game was the best! The only criticism was that the cinematic cut scenes were trying to be next-gen but actually looked worse then the ones on SM2. And I wish the city and the environments in general were destructible, but that is a minor criticism. Keep up the good work Treyarch and Activision!… Expand

    I'm quite surprised at the number of people that simply sign off on this one as pure garbage, while in my eyes it stands tall as the best Spider-Man game ever put together. Take Spider-Man 2 and polish everything while ommitting the more annoying parts and improving the basic fundamentals of the game design. Yes there are some technical issues but I in my 12 hours of play have no run into any more than you'd expect from this kind of game. Let's not be too harsh on it, people. We all want this formula to grow.… Expand

    This game is awesome, I've been having SO MUCH FUN playing it. The critics who low scored this game were way too nitpicky ciritical about minor stuff. Do they even play games? It's improved on Spiderman 2 in every possible way!!!! This is by far the best superhero video game ever created, hands down. I can't wait to finish it.

    This game is so much better than Spidey 2. The combat actually feels natural now, with the insertion of dodge/counter button, and the new "cineractives" add a great deal of flair. One of my favorite boss battles in gaming is with the New Goblin, using traditional fight tactics and cineractives. Graphics are pretty good, especially the wallcrawler himself. The one donside is that the game is somewhat glitchy and seems to crash a bit, but I'm more than willing to put up with a bit of frustration for lots of fun.… Expand

    This game is a Spider-fan's dream come true. Everything has been improved. Combat, upgrades, Visuals, Side Activities, even the city itself! The city is 2.5x bigger than in Spider-Man 2, and includes an explorable subway and sewers. Missions are more involving, longer, and overall better. The story flows evenly, and there's a lot of choice between what missions you want to complete. Crime fighting is improved, with the introduction of three brand new gangs. These gangs control turfs in the city and have their very own stories which are written very well. Combat focuses on dodging and acrobatics, which is what Spider-Man is for. Spider Reflexes return, with the added bonus of counterattacks. The story is amazing, with the Scorpion story being worthy of a movie. The Black Suit could not have been handled better. The Suit makes Spider-Man stronger, faster, and angrier. The addition of a rage mode helped me take out fourteen gang members in under four seconds. However, I can't give this game a perfect score, because of a camera that can be annoying sometimes, some pop-up, glitches that can sometimes(very rarely) prevent a mission from being completed, and interspersed movie content. But don't let this prevent you from buying the best Spider-Man game ever made. This is legendary, and should not be missed.… Expand

    If theres one thing I can say about Spiderman 3, its that its one of the greatest movie games ever. It is signifigantly underrated. Unlike the Superman Returns game, you can explore this large open world and play missions whenever you want. Theres a larger amont of content and the graphics are even better. The controls are also very responsive.

    Remember how good Spider-Man 2 was? Hang onto that feeling by not playing this game.

    Webslingin' remains the selling point, but the combat--although built from the ground up for this game--still consists of random button mashing. [July 2007, p.88]

    New York looks great, but the camera inconsistencies and helter-skelter gameplay flow takes away all the good will that Spider-Man 2: The Game had built.
