It is a crime for a company that made one of the best Spider-Man games to fall absolutely flat in this installment of the game, Spider-Man 3 is bound by shackles and weights because of the addition of being a movie tie in game but the game is overly ambitious by forcing you to go through 10 storylines, and none of them remotely connect to each other or pay off in a satisfying way.
The city looks gorgeous, and you can tell they tried a lot here but I can't take this god damn game seriously due to it's graphics and absolutely dull voice acting from everybody in the cast, there aren't many things I like about this game since everything that they did right with Ultimate Spider-Man, and Spider-Man 2 was thrown out the Window but you can tell they really tried, but sometimes it isn't enough, especially in situations like this.
In what was a shining game franchise with an overall good reputation from Gamers, and critics a like, begins to decay here with lackluster gameplay, and story, and unneeded difficulty, this movie takes the shining reputation of Spider-Man, and begins to dig it's grave, for worse.

I have owned this game pretty much since it released, and 13 years later I have yet to even come close to finishing it. Fundamentally flawed in so many aspects, and takes so many backward steps from both of its predecessors, I've abandoned this game on at least 5 separate attempts to play through it; it just has nothing of substance to offer, absolutely joyless to play.
Now, I can defend the Spider-Man 3 film, but this game is an entirely different case. The gameplay is so frustratingly bad. Spider-Man just feels so weak compared with his villains. Anything capable of forming a fist could kick his ass, even if he has the symbiote. Speaking of which, the symbiote isn't really that different from the normal suit, besides the rage meter. The boss fights are so bad. They aren't even hard, but time consuming. You have to hit the bosses a million times (obviously exaggerating here) before you beat them. There is an abundance of QTE's here, which I wouldn't mind if they were good, but they aren't. The game barely gives you enough time to click a button in a QTE. If you fail a QTE in a boss fight multiple times, you have to start the ENTIRE boss fight all over again. I'm mainly talking about the Kraven and Sandman boss battles. The story isn't anything good. It's basically the movie's plot without any emotion. The game's cutscenes and models are also hideous to look at. Even for the time this game was released, the graphics were awful. The ONLY reason I'm giving this game 3/5 stars and not two of them is because the game's cutscenes and story are so pathetically and hilariously bad that I start laughing at the game. I give this game 3/5 stars. Only buy this game if you want a good laugh and an example of what a bad game is.
