What’s the Problem With Spider-Man 3?,
I don’t understand why there are so many bad reviews on Spider-Man 3 the game. When I started playing this game, I thought wow, this game is awsome. I flick my wrist and out shoots a web line! I thought to myself, finally a spider-man game that makes me feel like spider-man. But after reading a few of the reviews,it seemes that alot of people don’t like it because it’s nothing new. Well, fine then, but if your a Spider-Man fan, like I am, then you will love this game. I’ve beaten it like 3 times already and I play it over and over again.
Buy the game, I think it is totally worth it.

|Like a lot of tie-ins, it feels rushed,
The game, Spider-Man 2, was really quite a fun game since it was so exhilirating to swing everywhere. Yeah by the 25th balloon I had to save, it did feel monotonous but everything else was well-done. Including some of the villains that were sorely missed, Spider-Man 3 is basically the same thing with new features. With the Wii controls, it offers a different type of gameplay but polish is really lacking here as it feels unresponsive, lazy and even sluggish. Kids won’t mind but this is definately not one of the better Spidey outings.
Story: It incorporates the storyline of Spider-Man having the Alien Symbiote attached to him (honestly I couldn’t figure out where he even got it in the game). Doc Connors has mutated and rampaging through New York while rival photographer Eddie Brock gets the Symbiote and turns into Venom.
Graphics: The textures just look…ugly. Buildings up close are fine if a bit repetitive and lack of more refined details while it seems like the higher up you go, the more fuzzy they get. And of course enemies pretty much have 4-5 different settings and you beat up each one over and over. At least now we can go into the sewers.
Sound/Music: Voice acting remains largely intact with Tobey Maguire and co. providing their character voices. It’s difficult to badmouth Maguire since he basically says the same things over and over (production thing). The best though is Bruce Campbell providing our Narrator voice. He gets some hilarious things going (my favorite is the Spider-Man who doesn’t act Spider-y on walls. “You’re just ‘Man’? You’re playing, ‘Man 3?’” The music is fine but I barely notice.
Gameplay: For swinging you use the nunchuk and Wii-mote. Press Z or B and swinging the controller will send you flying. It takes some getting used to but eventually you get hang of it, although I notice it was more comfortable to just use the Wii-mote. Fighting is different as well with shaking the Wii-mote making your combos, A button for kicks/uppercuts. It works fine but the controls are a bit dodgy since it’s hard to gauge just how fast to swing and pressing the A is rather slow, causing you to press it 5-6 times before he even does his kick (by which time, enemies are already beating you up). The ideas behind the controls are fine it’s just they don’t have the responsiveness needed.
As for the game itself, it’s very much like 2: very mission-based but thankfully the side missions are kept to a minimum a bit. Some seem slightly inconsistent though. One boss fight took so long because his health went down like a paper sliver with every punch. The one thing that is a pain is that there’s these moments that seem like warped reaction commands from Resident Evil 4 or Kingdom Hearts II: at certain points a graphic will display, telling you swing your nunchuk sideways or your nunchuk or both. But they go so far and your reflexes can only go so far so it’s a bit of a trial-and-error at figuring out how fast to go.
Do yourself a favor and rent Spider-Man 2. While we do get enemies like the Lizard and Venom, 2 is just way funner.

|Fun and EXTREMELY SHORTLIVED,
Spiderman 3 was fun. The controls are by far the best for the wii yet. Activision managed to take full advantage of the possiblities of the wii remotes. However, the graphics are just okay, as well as the sound. Still, this doesn’t stop you from enjoying this game. Like I said, the controls here get an 11/10! There is a major drawback here, though. I beat this game in under 7 HOURS, not including extras. This story mode is UNBELIEVABLY SHORT! Upon beating this game, rather than being happy I was dissapointed that it ended so fast. I would advise you to rent this game or buy it cheap, but do not spend your $50 on this incredibly short game. Fun but not worth the price.
