IGN actually had the nerve to give this awesome game a 6 out of 10. As someone else said, "You can't spell ignorance without IGN," and they were so right. GamePro at least rated this respectably, although I am rating it .5 higher. Aside from some pedestrian/car woes and minor camera-and-framerate-related issues, this is an incredible game. They finally nailed the swinging, and the city looks amazing. More cars crowd the streets than ever before, and the number of pedestrians has also been noticeably increased. However, this has come at the price of some reality. I wasn't focusing too much on the pedestrians in my recent battle with the New Goblin, but I think I saw several walking by as though nothing was happening. Something similar was happenning with the cars. This is, unfortunately, a downgrade from the prequel. I tried punching one civilian recently, and he jerked out of the way and continued on. Wow. However, this can result in rather amusing, if inconvenience-causing, situations. Twice in a row (in the Black Suit, no less) I was run over by a gray car and flipped six times (three for each hit) onto the pavement. Finally I mashed the A button and manage to swing away. Phew! The boss battles, the way I see them, are exciting and challenging. Also, the ability to switch to the Black Suit and swing through all the missions again with the suit on is awesome. Above all, buy this game. It's worth it.

This is just another ok Spider-Man game. The timed button sequence is a nice addition but after a while it gets old. The free roaming is fine but after a while everthing just gets old. At first the game is fun but eventually you'll getbored and move onto the next game.

you'd think that activision would get the picture and stop cramming in all of those villains. while sometimes enjoyable, the camera, long boss batlles, and utterly crappy storyline take away from an otherwise descent game. the maddening side missions from the second game are gone being replaced by crime meter missions. these aren't a big step in the right direction being that all you do is chase them in a car and beat them up or just plain beat them up. the long bank robbery type missions are either too easy or, i can't believe i'm saying this, too difficult. there are good feature in the game though, the web swinging is as great as ever and swinging through manhattan is marvelous. but there just not enough to deserve a higher ranking

I've always been a fan of the Spiderman games. From the original for the SNES. The PS1 versions, and all of the recent 'sandbox' titles. But with Spiderman 3- it all combines into a wonderfully fun game. What I like most of all is that they've combined all of the best elements of the previous games to advance the experience. They pulled the 'speed' button from Spiderman 2 (great innovation). They pulled the 'double jump' from Ultimate Spiderman. And they assembled the most versatile line-up of bosses from all of the games. The environment is as beautiful as it's ever been. Swinging feels as natural as could be. The wall-crawler looks great and reacts great to things that happen to him. I once web-zipped directly into a building and Spidey actually went splat! and fell down all 36 stories. However, a few things the game could of done better; the black suit controls. As much fun as it was to have the extra speed, power and rage of the black suit- it also became a problem when trying to focus on a certain enemy. But even so, the combat system flowed smoothly enough. Although short, and slightly flawed, it's still a blast to use your imagination and swing around hours after completing the game. Web in a copy. You shant be dissapointed.

the game was pretty fun. i love swinging through the city. the only thing is that there doesn't seem to be any texture to anything until you get a few inches away from it.

Based on Sony Pictures Entertainment's Columbia Pictures' upcoming feature film, Spider-Man 3" lets you experience the actions of heroic red-suited Spider-Man and, for the first time ever, his darker, more mysterious black-suited persona. Set in a larger, dynamic, free-roaming New York City, the game gives you the freedom to choose your own gameplay experience through multiple movie-based and original storylines, fully integrated city missions, and performance rewards including improved speed, combat maneuvers, and agility. Draw upon Spider-Man's completely revamped combat abilities to protect the city and defeat nemeses using expanded aerial fighting, finishing moves, and dynamic webbing during missions and epic boss battles.

Spiderman 3 the game is great. My opinion is that it migh be the best Spiderman game ever. It's graphics are fantastic, the story is alright, but I have to say the best element of the game is the transition from red/blue suit to black. The game is pretty close to the movie. The movie was preety good but it did'nt follow the comics very well.So read my review.

This is the worst spiderman game yet, it has moderately good graphics on XBOX 360 and PS3. It's only fun for the first few hours. It's very repetitive. The boss battles are just plain annoying. It alsost seems to be a port of SM 2. The only reason to play this game is if you have a PS3 and want to rent the special edition. Green goblin missions are kinda cool. I'd rent it though, definitely not worth owning.

I love spiderman just like many others, but this game is so lacking, it's sickening. First, the fighting is cliche, uneducated button mashing, boring 3-button combos (ie. x, x, x), and unfullfilling. Bruce Campbell does do the narration which is a big plus, but voice doesn't carry over to mediocre gameplay. So I played through several hours, repetitive fetch the item then bring it back missions, and little reward for my effort. Trying to mix up combos with enemies only gets your hit, so you stick to one combo to kill safely and efficiently. Also the lizardmen gang, is ridiculous. What about webslinging, not as great as is should be. The system is similar to Ultimate Spiderman, where one button slings normal webs, and one does a web pull. The problem is the system is not entirely on target in this game, so swinging does not feel natural but rather forced. Furthermore, Spiderman 2 was far superior in web slinging, with idependent buttons for webs to the left or right. You could truly control your angle, direction, and trajectory around buildings in that game, but not in Spiderman 3. Finally, I keep going to earn the black suit and fight a few bosses, pitiful. Black suit Barely speeds up swinging (aforementioned not fun anyway) and all it really does is up your attack power, but at the same time all your enemies get tougher, so you're back to square one with the same mediocre red suit fighting where one combo works and all others get you hit. I might buy a used spiderman 2 to swing in the city, but I refuse to buy spiderman 3. PS. on the PS2, the graphics are grainly and hazy, not sharp object resolution. Buy ultimate spiderman or spiderman 2 instead. graphics 2.25 sound 3.00 control 1.50

This game is garbage from the annoying camera to the crappy combat its so annoying and tough to actually play for longer that 15 minutes without wanting to quit.And why did they feel the need to put those stupid mary jane missions in the game how entertaining did they thing people would find it to swing around the city with her on your back constantly whining about I want to go faster I want to go higher I want to go lower I should have saved myself the 60 bux for it and just rented it that way it only would have cost me 5 or 6 bux to find out the game was worthless.Besides the fact that the graphics are so not worthy of being called xbox 360 grapics why does toby mcguire look burnt and his face is smashed into his face aside from the fact everyone in the game looks like they have been on a drug binge for a few weeks horrible game what a waste of 60 bux ill be traiding mine into gamestop A.S.A.P
