Just completed the ps3 version, OH MY GOD, this game is bad, worse than ultimate in my opinion, ultimate started out stronger and had it moments in the beginning despite arguably the difficulty and clunky gameplay being worse and more notio from a quarter a way through the game onwards, however this game still has a really bad difficulty which isn’t helped by the games frame rate running inconsistent, add on the annoying and repetitive boss fights, worse than ultimate Spider-Man and I don’t like that game either, but this? This isn’t even ok like ultimate Spider-Man was, this is baddd, bad combat, bad swinging, bad story, this game sucks

Feels surprisingly fun to play with a controller, unbearable on KBM though. This game has it's certain issues, graphics alone look terrible for its time and some parts just felt pure bullshit in terms of difficulty (fuck The Lizard! and some parts of the Kraven arc) but I like the gangs and their designs and the inclusion of Jeane DeWolf. Scorpion plot was pretty compelling but considering how much shit was cut, and from a certain vibe it gives and how late Sandman is introduced to the game it's very clear the developers were sick of doing the movie stuff and just wanted to tell their own story...hence how we got WOS but yeah and it sucks some of their original plotlines were quickly end or cut due to having to wrap it around to movie and work with movie deadlines sadly but I see the potential in this game, not in a Sonic 06 way but yknow, not exactly uhh unfinished here, sorta. Venom is fucking hilarious in this game, he's dummy thicc for some reason and he's a lot more jokey than the movie and the way they poorly did his voice goddd, that whole scene with him and Sandman first meeting is pure fucking gold.

Either way, fun decent game while I get why'd you wanna skip this but personally I think this is a game worth your time atleast once, assuming you're a Spider-Man/Raimi Trilogy fan

Where do I even begin? This is one of the worst games I ever played. Hell this is definitely the WORST Spider-Man game I have ever played The only good thing about it is that the actors return to voice their characters.

Other than that, this game is an unplayable mess. It's very rage inducing and very broken. Tobey's voice acting is bad. It sounds like he's bored. The missions are awful. The times where you fail during missions can be very annoying. Stealth is awful. The enemy AI is just annoying. The characters in the game is so ugly. Some of the missions can be either tedious, badly designed, hard (in a bad way), or all of the above. I'm sorry but I just can't finish this. I literally kept trying. I literally do, but this game is just too bad.

I waited for FIFTEEN YEARS to play this game until I recently modded my Wii and USB Loader GX and Vimm's Lair made my dream come true. Was preparing for disappointment but instead I started having a lot of fun.

Just as its predecessor, it has a lot of Raimi-era Spider-Man charm, Tobey is better than ever, the plot is creative, the fighting is great, it just needed a little more polishing. As it approaches the end it starts to come apart and show its rough spots (the climax felt really weak, the boss fights in the first movie tie-in game are way more exciting), but overall I was really satisfied with finally playing this.

Past Gen version of SM3 on PSP, pretty good decent game, I like the inclusion of Shriek and Morbius (Bully Maguire fought the Morb!). Story got a bit more jumbled around and its obviously shorter but it's pretty good, I like how they have multiple FMVs with Red and Black suits for some moments (and they change how Peter acts in the scene too ofc), I also used variety of costume mods during this cuz why not? Black suit is interesting in how its utilized but oh well I don't mind.

Due to motion controls on Wii and PCSX2 being the way it is, this was the best version of SM3 Past Gen to emulate but PCSX2 has improved since then so hopefully it'll replace this? Appereantly there is a non motion control mod for Dolphin but I didnt mess with that, wonder if its any good assuming it's easy to setup

It’s hard to believe I complained so much about the problems the Spider-Man 2 movie game had after playing this…

This is next level BAD. I was upset with the last game for underutilizing the incredible music, but compared to this game that felt like a goddamn concert. Why is it so quiet and awkward when swinging around?!

Speaking of swinging around, I’m glad they kept SOME of what worked about the second games swinging. You can tell there were things they ditched altogether though, and not for the better.

One thing the second game really nailed to make the play through experience more FUN was it’s inclusion of web tricks. This game completely abandons that. In fact, this game completely abandons 75% of what made Spider-Man 2 so much fun.

Instead we’re treated to more bland visuals that are some how worse than the last game, a mind numbingly terrible translation of an already convoluted story, hysterically bad dialogue, a boring and clunky combat system, and repetitive, monotonous side tasks that take up more than 50% of the entire game (I wish I were kidding)!

I find it incredible just how far from Grace this series fell. Can’t wait to play Ultimate Spider-Man because it’ll be such a good pallet cleanser after finishing this putrid pile of shit.

Now, to end this on a lighter note, here’s a hilarious dialogue exchange between Peter and MJ towards the end of the game:

MJ:
What’s wrong? You haven’t said a single word all night.

PETER:
I figured you were talking enough for the both of us.

MJ:
Peter, what’s gotten into you lately?

PETER:
Nothing that stopping your gums from flapping wouldn’t solve!

… I couldn’t make this up if I tried.
