Spider-Man 3 on PS2 is essentially the Wii version without the motion-sensitive control system. The end result is a game that pales in comparison to and would not be a suitable replacement for the next-generation versions.
Read Full Review >GamingTrend
Vicarious Visions has taken the Wii version of the game which leveraged the control scheme of the system very well, and then ported it to the aging PS2 version. The result is a surprisingly tighter control scheme, but one that is less interactive.

A decent enough action-adventure in the vein of GTA and Crackdown. Spider-Man's web-slinging abilities are depicted very well. Go for the Xbox 360 version, the rest are not worth your time. [June 2007]
Game Chronicles
If you really, really love Spider-Man and have a high tolerance for dismal graphics and repetitive gameplay and the PS2 is the only game system you have in the house, then go ahead and check this out...maybe as a rental. Or get the NDS version. You'll have infinitely more fun.

Spider-Man 3's biggest problem is that it has a camera and framerate that makes the game nearly unplayable.
Read Full Review >Official Playstation 2 Magazine UK
Despite a huge citiy and a great swinging mechanic with which to get through it, Spider-Man 3 is repetitive and disappointing. [June 2007, p.90]
Playstation Official Magazine UK
The only decent fights and objectives that are there follow the main storyline like a stalker - everything else is just busywork filler. [July 2007, p.112]
GameSpy
While the controls on the PS2 are easily the best out of any of the other console incarnations, they still can't save this game from succumbing to it own horribly boring repetition.
Read Full Review >GameDaily
With downright ugly graphics, minimalist music, an underwhelming use of voice acting and some of the sloppiest controls ever, keeping this last-generation version of the game in one's collection can only be justified if they lose the receipt.
Read Full Review >GameSpot
The PlayStation 2 version of Spider-Man 3 is a depressing combination of ugly to look at and dull to play.
Read Full Review >Games Radar (in-house)
It's so dumbed down that it might actually be more appropriate for children if it weren't for the T rating on the package. Just play the 360 version. Actually, scratch that, just go play Spider-Man 2 instead. It's worlds better than this.
Read Full Review >IGN
Spider-Man 3 on the PlayStation 2 is everything gamers have come to dread about movie-tie in games. The game takes liberties with the plot and packs shoddy controls, terrible graphics and lame voiceovers.
Read Full Review >Gamers Europe
The graphics are shocking, the sound does little to add to the experience, the storyline is mediocre and the controls are unfriendly.

Not much great to say about this game. The controls are horrible, the graphics looks pathetic at best. They were better in the first rendition of the Spiderman movie games on both aspects. The only GOOD parts of this game are the facts it's free roaming and that Bruce Campbell is back in this part of the Spiderman saga. I've seen graphics of this calber on PS1 games for god sakes.
Mark D. gave it a6:
This is visually impressive with some decent action but is ultimatley shallow and a bit of a cash in - a bit like the film. It's also got the most pointless, atmosphere spoiling and downright irritating voice over in the history of computer games. Get Spiderman 2 instead or even Spiderman on the PS1 if you see it going cheap, it's better then this despite it's age.
Sam gave it a9:
I really like this game. It's not a masterpiece, but it's a real blast to play. The graphics are decent, in some cutscenes looking like crap, others looking pretty good, and with decent outdoor environments. Sure, the park is butt-ugly, and some of the character models don't look great, but all in all, I like the look of the game. I found the web-slinging to be better than it was in the Spider-Man 2 game, as it really expands the horizon on his acrobatics. The combat, while not brilliant, is a lot deeper, and I really thought it was better than the superb Spider-Man 2 game.
Constantine H. gave it a10:
This is the best Spider-Man game. This game is very fun to play. There lots of villians and more. This game deserves a 10.
Alisha gave it a10:
Dazzling. Absoloutely dazzling. The story is deep and amazing, though it strays from the movie's plot a little. (But hey, it's a video game, right? ) As for the fighting style, it's even funner then the two first. (Who are also great games.) The boss battles are something I also enjoy. Swinging is something you never get bored of with this game. Web zipping is fun, too. There's some very funny lines thrown into there. Spiderman's got some REALLY good lines, and Bruce Campbell is back as the HILARIOUS sarcastic narrarator guy! The graphics are totally gonna blow your mind, man! The second was really free roaming, right? You enjoyed it a lot, didn't you? YOU WANT MORE, DONTCHA? Well in this game the city is 2.5 times bigger. How's that for free roaming? Overall, the game is worth the money and it's AMAZING!
